The problem here is the narrative. We are learning more and more how the massacre of Oct 7th has been misreported. It’s not that Hamas organised a picnic but that Israel killed its own. It matters less, that the people of Gaza see Hamas as representing them or not, than that Hamas stand on the side of the oppressed. How come Hamas are the terrorists when Israel is the only force capable of genocide & has genocidal intent?
I have no illusions of Hamas as misunderstood good guys any more than I would deny the IRA knee capped those they deemed collaborators & ran protection rackets. But the occupying army were the British & that’s what history will remember.
