Gaza has a Hamas problem @knowprose and Israel has a Likud problem.
They're problems that the respective populations have Democratically chosen. They're both problems that have the overwhelming support of those populations.
🤔
Which raises a question:
media and government commentators commonly refer to "the Hamas-run health ministry";
why don't we hear "the Likud-run military", for example?

@DropBear @palestine @israel Just to emphasize, "A democracy with one party".

Ballots must be really easy to count.

@DropBear @palestine @israel Did I say Israel wasn't a problem?

And why are we suddenly broadcasting to 2 different groups?

Go pick a fight elsewhere.

I'm not about to get into #whataboutisms.

#Israel has a democratically elected government, true.

#Gaza is a democracy with one party since 2007, an occupied territory with no control of it's borders because of Israel. Because of Hamas. Because of Israel. Because of Hamas...

Kinda hard to make that equation balance the way you're trying to.
