“The Israeli army said it bombed the house because there was a Hamas officer in there, which is totally false. I know the whole family. It’s nonsense. It’s just so devastating.”

So, this wasn't even a random bombing. It was 100^100% deliberate precise targeting.

It's not even shocking anymore.

I'm trying my best not to hate, but people gotta take notice. Straight up genocide and apartheid plus American money is paying for it. I understand some isrealies don't agree with the genocide and Hamas is kinda holding the Palestinians hostage, but dam it's a slaughter. It's easter passover and rammadan, so everyone will pray to justify going back to killing. Gotta love religion as politics to gain profit for those in control.

Hamas is the official representative of Gaza. They were elected. They are a government under war of annihilation and occupation.

Hamas is the official representative of Gaza. They were elected.

What makes you say this? Do you not realize this "election" happened all the way back in 2006?

Do you know how long ago that was? 19 years.

Do you know what the median age in Gaza was in 2020 (before this recent escalation in genocide)? 18 years old.

In my opinion 20 years per election might not be an ideal timescale for a democracy.

I'm trying to assume good faith so I'm confused why you'd argue that's adequate representation?

Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank have blocked elections since then. But you are right that half of Gazans weren’t even born when Hamas won the last elections.
