Hamas isn’t selling spyware to private businessmen and government agencies.

legitimately elected government of Gaza. how do we know? because Hillary complained that the USA should have done more to rig the election in 2006 so that Hamas wouldn't have won

The alternative was Fatah. Interesting to see the results of the polls in the West Bank vs Gaza breakdown (in this specific one it's from page 4 onward).

Anti-imperialism is just lesser-evilism essentially. Russia sucks but they're better than the U.S., Iran sucks but they're better than the demon-state of Israel, etcetera. If liberals understood this, maybe they'd have better foreign policy takes.
