You can be Anti-Hamas and Support Palestinians at the Same Time

By

I am sickened by the Hamas attack on Israel. It is evil and must be seen and named for what it is.

And I support Palestinians. Is that possible? Yes, and the distinction between Hamas and the wider Palestinian cause is crucial to make right now.

Hamas is a terrorist organization whose invasion of Israel, along with the murder of civilians, brutalizing of Israeli elderly and children, and kidnapping of hostages, are hideous acts. They are aimed at, among other things, creating a devastating response from Israel. This will then be used by Hamas and its allies to justify their actions and cause.

Hamas does not want peace with Israel nor is it remotely interested in the two-state solution. Hamas wants to eradicate the nation of Israel from the earth.
