I watched a video of a man have his head removed brutally with a garden hoe.

I've listened to a phone call from an ordinary Palestinian to his parents, elated that he's murdered 10 innocent Israelis on October 7th. His parents plead for him to come home but he responds "either we win or we die".

Explain to me how this isn't a death cult? Explain what supporting hamas looks like?

Perhaps I was too subtle in my last comment. I don't agree with Israel's outright response to October 7 as it will inevitably lead to a whole new wave of Islamic fanatics hell bent on establishing a caliphate and wiping everyone they disagree with from the map. However ideologies that cannot get past 14th century thinking have no place in our modern world, and should be eliminated, violently or otherwise.
