I’m saying they were elected into power, just the same as Trump and Netanyahu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_election

No, I don’t agree with bombing civilians, regardless of the justification. No, I will not defend the atrocities of the US government simply because I’m a citizen. Governments and military are to blame for killing innocent people, not entire nations.

Wow you are making an argument that Hamas runs a democratic state. Yikes. Wish you would have led with that it would have saved us all a lot of time.

By the way who said anything about defend? I know you've moved the goal post a hell of a lot during our conversation but that one's so far I left field I don't think it's in the galaxy.

I said they were elected into power. Do you believe Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress are representing their constituents in our representative democracy?

I have moved no goalposts. I maintain the defense of innocent civilians, regardless of their residence. This became a debate when you suggested there are no innocent civilians in Israel, simply because Netanyahu is the aggressor. That’s wildly narrow-minded.
