intensely_human,

The people of Gaza voted Hamas into power almost two decades ago. Hamas is not a legitimate government, does not have the consent of the governed.

As I’ve said before and will keep saying the correct move here, then just move, is for Israel to lift the weapons embargo on Gaza.

Once the people of Gaza are particupating in a functioning weapons economy, then and only then is it legitimate to say they are somehow responsible for Hamas.

Hamas rules unopposed, without the consent of their subjects. Their subjects’ human rights to bear arms is being actively blocked by Israel’s efforts. That is unjust.

Arm the people of Gaza, then and only then can we talk about Hamas representing Gazans.
