    white washing of Hamas

    What? How do you read this as white-washing Hamas? My comment didn’t claim Hamas was ever virtuous, infact it was entirely silent in text on if hams was good or not. I thought it was part of the subtext, but if it’s not clear: Hamas is bad. The reason Netanyahu chose Hamas as his enemy is because they’re evil and hard to cheer for, which makes the genocide easier.

      That’s also a strange take. He did not choose the ones who arranged the October 7 attack. Same with tons of rockets they built and sent to Israel.

      I guess I misunderstood. I’ve read a lot of comments on here trying to paint Hamas as some good guy under dog.

      Sorry for the confusion.
