But I doubt many of the hamas reps elected round 2006 remain alive.
We're told all manner of lies about hamas, as a quick look on Wikipedia will reveal.The opinion poll I posted up thread shows that support for Hamas continues amongst Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza.
When it's said that Hamas is enemy of Palestinian people this is more about the perception of those outside of all this. It's their view.
. Strikes reportedly hit a maternity hospital, a shopping mall, and residential areas—killing innocent people and injuring dozens more. It is a stark reminder to the world that, after nearly two years of this devastating war, Putin’s objective remains unchanged. He seeks to obliterate Ukraine and subjugate its people. He must be stopped.
I think it would be fairer to say they are victims of the bombing by their own side of vital civilian infrastructure, so a kind of karma......(Next the Israeli government will say the fungus was caused by Hamas.
Even the soil in Gaza is trying to fight against this genocidal occupation.)
The last few lines of my post was sarcasm ..I think it would be fairer to say they are victims of the bombing by their own side of vital civilian infrastructure, so a kind of karma.
Of course things have changed since that video, Corbyn and the left have been defeated so there's no longer any need to label criticism of Israel as antisemiticPeston seems to have changed his tune:

For the Safety of Jews and Palestinians, Stop Weaponizing Antisemitism | Opinion | The Harvard Crimson
Antisemitism in the U.S. is a real and dangerous phenomenon. To contend against these and other antisemitic forces with clarity and purpose, we must put aside all fabricated and weaponized charges of “antisemitism” that serve to silence criticism of Israeli policy and its sponsors in the U.S.www.thecrimson.com
If you see Hamas as being the enemy of the Palestinian people rather than their most recently elected representatives then this will colour your view.
Slightly bonkers preview of the interview with the young lady kidnapped from the music festival and released a month or so ago by Hamas.
'Everyone in Gaza is a terrorist'. 'I've been through a holocaust'

True. But they are friends to many, the rich etcThe tory government are our most recently elected parliamentary representatives but they are not our friends.
Biden has called for release of Palestinian tax funds held by Israel...
The Israeli government is refusing.
If it's killed and incapacitated young Israeli soldiers. It will have done much worse to the general of Gaza, no karma for them, just another threat to their livesI think it would be fairer to say they are victims of the bombing by their own side of vital civilian infrastructure, so a kind of karma.
Where did I mention Fry?It’s really sad to see the term “blood libel” used cynically for naked political aims.
I also found it sad to see on this thread that pointing out the recent huge increase in anti-semitic activity in this country (as Stephen Fry did) is somehow unsupportable, though.
That particular sudden bubbling of bile towards Fry caught me by surprise. I ‘d like to think that was just the usual urban resentment towards the middle class and middle brow and not something more sinister.
Maybe it’s because I see Hamas as being the enemy of the Palestinian people and it’s unclear to what degree that’s a shared notion. I see references to “both sidesing” and it seems to me like there are more than two “sides” here.
I’m rambling - hoping for a lasting peace soon. There are a lot of people in the disputed territories and also in Israel who don’t want to be enemies.
Agreed.Having read the whole news report it comes across as Biden wanting it to appear he's being tough with Israeli government. When he's doing no such thing in reality.

The rich are few and I can't think of many others to whom the Tories are friends.True. But they are friends to many, the rich etc

They just think that the Tories are their friends.The stupid?
Palestinians were asked to assess the role of a list of relevant parties during the war. Findings reveal
that their assessments broadly fall into four categories
• Category 1: The most positively appraised of all actors were the Al Qassam Brigades, Islamic
Jihad, Al Aqsa Brigades, and Hamas.
• Category 2: Respondents were somewhat positive towards the Arab media, Hizballah, Russia, the
International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC), China, Turkey, Iran, and Fateh.
• Category 3: Respondents were largely negative in their assessments of Egypt, Jordan, Western
media, the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates.
• Category 4: Respondents were universally negative in assessing the role of the United States of
America (USA) and Israel.
Poor children, there's a bunch of well fed people actually preaching for this violence
Apparently denied yesterday as soon as it was talked about on Twitter:Report: Ex-UK PM Blair eyed as mediator on post-war Gaza, including resettlement of Palestinians
