    Not to condone their actions, but what would Hamas care about getting supporters? Palestine situation hasn’t been helped much at all by international supporters, so it’s not like they care about that.

      The two are linked together. When aid has been sent to Palestine, to help Palestinians, Hamas has taken it for themselves. There was an EU project I believe to build water infrastructure, and Hamas took it apart to make into rockets.

      I don’t think it’s possible to provide material support to the Palestinians. Hamas just takes it all. It’s so fucked.

      Palestine is dependent on foreign aid to continue its war fighting. Specifically aid from western nations. They need supporters to feed, fuel and supply it’s military and populace.

      Might make people less happy to support pummeling them if they weren’t acting like such villains

      Yeah why would they use civilians as human shields to gather the physical and online support of the easily misled and swayed masses of the west

      For one, all the Hamas supporters are asking the US to tell Israel to stop attacking them.
