    Opinion is irrelevant against facts: they are trying to expell the palestinian population from Gaza

    This is not accurate, as easily understood by how poorly they would be accomplishing this objective, were it true. They have absolute military superiority and it would be easy for them to achieve that goal.

    they even said it out loud two days ago.

    This is not accurate. Some random guy that works for the government, saying something which may or may not translate accurately (see the thread here on lemmy for that discussion), is not significant. MTG, a sitting US Representative, talking about Jewish Space Lasers is also not significant, for similar reasons.

    These misconceptions, even if they were true, do not excuse supporting Hamas.

      So two ministers of the actual israelian governement are now “two random dudes”.

      These misconceptions indeed do not excuse supporting Hamas, which is why I said demanding a ceasefire and an investigation into a potential genocide and denouncing Hamas’ terrorist acts aren’t exclusive positions.

        Yes, just like MYG, a literal representative, is not indicative of US policy.
