@BlameThePeacock

They(the larger group of people who don’t want this) could do something to change that

Just curious, is this what you think about civilians in North Korea as well? That it's their own fault?

North Korea is a whole different problem due to the incredible level of isolation, brainwashing, and direct support from two world power dictatorships. They're effectively a penal colony being used as a buffer to keep the West away from having a land border with China/Russia. It will fall to a revolution at some point, but it's going to be a military coup or Chinese/Russian action, rather than from the people. If there was any ability to smuggle arms into the country, it likely would have already fallen.

Palestinians have access to anything they need to overthrow Hamas including information, communications, and weapons, there are already groups internally fighting against them. Hamas has significant (if not majority) support though, and not because Hamas has been brainwashing or forcing them.
