Hamas is no longer any sort of threat, and requiring written condemnation of their terror attack with every post about the current razing of Gaza indirectly reinforces the purported thesis behind Israel's continued wonton destruction which is that Hamas is a threat, and Hamas will attack the moment the bombs stop.

I've only recently started educating myself them, so this group may have some ugly things in their history I haven't learned about yet, but -

There was/is a nationalist social democratic Palestinian organization that Hamas essentially chased out of town with support from Israeli religious conservatives, and I feel like people who want a free Palestine need to talk more about them, because social democratic sounds a hell of a lot better than whatever the hell Hamas' policies are

The IDF wants Hamas to exist longer than the civilian population so they can "excuse" total genocide of Gaza

Netanyahu literally gave Hamas seed money because they don't want a viable two state solution.
