    I think there may be a lot of people who think Hamas is the Palestinian resistance, and don’t realize that they’re a third party here. You hear a lot of apologetics along the lines of “what other option do they have” and “it makes sense for someone who grew up around this”. I’m not sure how you correct this sort of thing en masse though.
