Title. it makes no sense, but i assume it’s a subtle way to paint the war as a religion thing as Hamas is islamic to distract the focus from colonialism and apartheid.

    Its something that has bothered me from the start. Even setting aside the religious implication, it makes it seem like Israel is only aiming to destroy Hamas, much in the same way the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were billed the “War on Terror” and ended up killing hundreds of thousands of civilians while accomplishing nothing other than giving American interests a foothold, in Iraq in particular.
