Rival faction accuses Hamas of bringing upon a ‘worst catastrophe than 1948,’ pointing out the bloody 2007 coup and wondering if Hamas would be interested in appointing a Prime Minister from Iran.
Thanks there is so much misinformation flying with respect to this conflict it can be hard to make sense of things. But the fact that several respected authors I had read on this election did not mention it made me skeptical.
I would not say “the left” as a whole defends them although there are some small factions that do.
I feel like you’re trying to gotcha me here but I’m not trying to defend Hamas, just help people understand the real history. False claims demonizing various groups and then generalized to whole ethnicities are a major cause of violence around this issue right now.
If people understood the real history, they would see that this conflict, like all conflicts has nuance to it and the various actors are all just people, not inhuman demons. This understanding will be key if we want to achieve a lasting peace.
