@inthehands this is a really ignorant take that ignores historical context and what these groups are literally saying.

Israelis in positions of power are committing genocide and unabashedly saying so (one of countless examples: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/israeli-official-gaza-flattened-auschwitz_n_658092fee4b036ecab461ec1)

Hamas lacks the capacity and has stated very different goals

This is not remotely a defense of certain Hamas members killing civilians or taking civilians hostages. But their intention for the latter was to free Palestinians prisoners (not to eradicate a religious / ethnic group).

You are completely flattening context and the number of desperate Palestinians who join Hamas because it is the most well-established resistance faction. There is not uniformity in values there (unlike Netanyahu's regime which is ruthlessly unified in wiping out Palestinians and expanding Israeli displacement of the indigenous people).

You don't have to agree with Hamas leadership to avoid making baseless comparisons that misrepresent reality.
