Before Israel’s bombing campaign, Hamas wasn’t very popular among Palestinians,

That's not true in the least.

Not just not true. A deliberate lie.

The state of Israel is older than Hamas and Israel bombing Palestinians started before 7th of October 2023. I think the establishment of Hamas in 1987 and rising popularity till they got elected on Gaza in 2007 can be fairly attributed to Israel's bombing, displacement and apartheid rule of civilians.

As well as millions of dollars given to Hamas by Israeli officials throughout this time, specifically because of their unpalatable extremism.

Hamas arose from ideology that has been around a long time, with a rich history of stoning women to death for learning math going back hundreds and hundreds of years.
