Otherwise, support is likely from Hamas daring to retaliate against Israel for mistreatment up to murder of innocent Palestinian civilians over the decades.

In a nutshell, that's how lots of Palestinian leftists and progressives view it. They don't like any Hamas beliefs or tactics, except for the one where they stand up to colonization.

All in all, Hamas is the ugly bastard child of Israel and a Palestinian faction that sought division instead of coming together with the other freedom fighters. They wanted separation, the Israelis liked the idea and supported them in doing so. How will this tale end? I think with a new faction born from the orphans of Gaza, and hopefully an armed resistance group with less questionable tactics and less anti-semetism.

It might just repeat the Fatah-Hamas split - an armed resistance group with more questionable tactics and more antisemitism.

We'll have to wait and see 🤷‍♀️. Apartheid breeds violence which breeds violence, but for me the best solution is for Israel to take responsibility for what they are doing. Less apartheid will mean less violence and antisemitism, and less extremism.

Yeah. I just don't have faith that Israel will choose less apartheid. I hope they prove me wrong, but they certainly won't as long as Netanyahu is in power.
