Show me the videos of Qassam fighters targeting civilians. Israel does not support hamas, that is delusional. They have never giver aid to hamas as a political organization. Israel funnelled money to hamas when it was a civil religious charity organization, before it had any political dimensions. They directly support the Palestinian authority. I never said hamas didn't want to be in power. I said they called for elections. They would win these election because they are the most popular Palestinian political party. Hamas is fighting for Palestinian liberation and more successfully than any organization before it. That is a fact. All resistance of the oppressed is going to be used to justify violence and murder against them. That does not make resistance futile or helpful for the colonizer. All resistance factions would resist Israel in the same way in this position. Hamas's Muslim ideology is irrelevant in the colonial stage.
The rest is wrong and I don't give a shit about it, but if Hamas would win the election so easily, why not hold elections? What kind of delusional circular logic is that? "Hamas is popular, so no need to see if the people want Hamas to stay in power" You seem like you know a lot about the issue and have a lot of good takes, but Hamas Good is very very much not one of them. Ngl the kind of shit you've been saying here has major hexbear/grad vibes, like your only thread of logic is "Israel bad and supported by US, therefore their enemies are perfect by default and any evidence that proves otherwise is fake"
What? Hamas controls the Gaza strip. They are calling for elections in both the west bank and Gaza, and the Palestinian authority (which controls the west bank illegitimately after losing the 2006 election) refuses because they will lose. The Palestinian authority is ruled by Fateh, the collaborator party that is supported by Israel. I didn't comment on the need for elections. As a Palestinian in Palestine it's clear that hamas would win in the elections if there were any. They already win in student elections etc.
In the context of colonization and resistance, there is nothing to criticize Hamas for. There is a lot to commend them on. Hamas isn't perfect obviously. Hamas would be justified in attacking Israeli settlers as all anti colonial resistance movements would be. If there were any evidence of al qassam engaging in sexual violence, that would be an excess that needs to be exorcised with discipline. But there is no evidence of that. In any case it is certain that that is not part of the strategy or doctrine of the al qassam brigades.
Oh yea also here's this since you think Hamas is actually enemies with Israel https://m.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/three-suitcases-stuffed-with-15m-passed-to-hamas-in-gaza-571449
