They’re the only party with any control in Gaza, so that’s not really comparable to a Republican trifecta. Republicans still form coalitions and engage in power sharing even when they have a majority, because they’ve never had absolute total domination of the political scene.
Thanks to the Palestinian Authority being too scared of a total Hamas takeover to hold elections, Hamas is effectively Gaza’s government.
Okay, fine. As the only Party with power in a State that can’t hold elections, they are the government. In a one party state, the ruling party is sovereign. And if there were elections? They’d only gain power in other parts of Palestine.
And that’s why Israel wants genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Tell that to Israel, because they’re going to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip because they seem to think differently.
Which was my overall point anyway.
As for me not wanting Hamas, does it matter what I want? My ancestors were genocided a long time ago, I’m white passing and my country doesn’t hunt people like me down anymore. I don’t have any right to tell the people of Gaza who their government should be.
Palestine has a right to defend itself.

Hamas is the sovereign government of Gaza.
And that’s why Israel is genociding them all.

So, not wrong, sure. Attacking a music festival for peace isn’t really self defense, though.
Hosting a music festival and shaking your ass next to a prison camp is fucked up. It was a mockery, just settlers flaunting their privilege.
