Sure, and he said that he's going to show them his vision, allay their fears, and change their minds, right?

I'm sorry, can you explain the issue of him acknowledging the lived experiences of people?

Do you have an actual example instead of platitudes?

Don't fall for the hasbara that Israel spreads.

Hamas is only one of many resistance groups in Gaza. And the ideologies range massively from far left to far right. It's how they're able to sustain a prolonged resistance against Israel's constant aggression.

Focusing on Hamas's leadership - they have been mostly centrist and advocate for equal rights of all, with outliers that are more right wing and Israel repeatedly kills off the moderates in the party for a reason. Israel wants the hardwingers to be more prominent. Israel even wanted to bring back Ahmedenijad as president of Iran and that guy is the poster child of "death to the infidels".

You're also equating Palestinians with Hamas too, don't do that.

The working class struggle and the genocide are the same struggle.

The context of the post and comment are about liberal zionism, and the extended context is that a liberal zionist is just as bad as a fascist, which is true. The big common denominator (amongst many other things) being genocide.

Israel has been largely headed by liberal zionists for the majority of it's genocidal colonial history so far. It's only recently that the rightwing have gained the majority they enjoy now. And they both agree on the genocide, just differ on the optics and language used.
