    Would you accept Hamas as a government in a Palestinian state?

    Me personally, no. But Palestinians seem to want them as the government, so hate the government, support the people ya know

    good to know data doesn’t inform your positions

    It does. Data shows me that most of the world doesn’t recognize that Israel rightfully owns the entirety of the land considered Israel. Me personally, I don’t recognize it at all, but it seems that my position is closer to “the data” than pro-Israel people.

      Palestinians support Hamas in a military/defensive capacity so they don’t die; it’s an open question who they would support in a river to the sea scenario. Millions of Palestinians do not at present even live under hamas. There’s so much we would have to learn along the way to truly speculate about it so it’s hardly worth considering yet. Better to end the apartheid/ethno state first and see where that puts us
