What is the deal with Palestine and Hamas? (lemmy.world)

For mental health reasons, I had taken myself out of most political topics. But lately there seems to be a surge of talk about Palestine and Hamas (forgive me if I spelled this wrong). I do know it’s something to do with land rights, but it also seems to be so much more at the same time. I’m not trying to start any fights. I just want to understand. Thank you.

Israel left Gaza in 2005. There are no settlements there. Hamas is only in Gaza.

Regarding the West Bank, according to the international law, some areas are illegally occupied. In addition, even the Supreme Court of Israel has ruled that Israel is holding West Bank under "belligerent occupation".

The west bank counts as part of Palestine. That’s all I said. And to my knowledge Hamas uses those settlements to further their agenda of ‘Israel bad’.
