@opal @sim oppression by fascists is the intersection between palestinians and the community, and the basis for support despite the extreme difference in social values. hell, the plo (which was the leading political movement before israel essentially supported hamas into dominance if not ensured its very creation) is largely understood to be leftist and secular.

even barring the existence of plo and looking only at hamas: one's support is not all-or-nothing kind of thing as I said.
