All of Hamas is an “armed wing” the legitimate government is the Palestinian Authority…
Israel wants to act like Hamas is a democratically elected government to justify an all out “war”.
The last time citizens of Gaza got to have an election, half the current residents weren’t born yet, Hamas was the “moderate” option, and Hamas still didn’t get a majority of votes.
Acting like Hamas is a real government is just some bullshit Israel says, because that helps Israel’s rightwing extremists stay in office. Neither of those two want peace
