    Justify? Probably not. Explain? Most definitely. The state of Israel is the only thing that benefits from Hamas.

      I think there’s more to it than Israel being oppresors. There’s plenty of internal oppression like Islam being the most oppressive religion on the planet to start.

        Here’s the thing: the Zionist movement (as opposed to Jews, generally) has the stated aim of “removing” the current population of Palestine and refilling it with people of a different ethnoculture. The only thing that all Palestinians can currently agree on is that the Zionist policy of Lebensraum (yeah - I said it) must be stopped. Some people only have the clothes on their back and the rubble under their feet. At that point you’ll join with anybody to remove the genocidal apartheid yoke of the oppressor. The inevitable infighting can wait until the external aggressor is defeated. A complete human tragedy for millions is the result. Both sets of lunatic religious extremists making misery for the people in the middle.

          That’s too simplistic of a take. Many Palestinians never even get a chance to be oppressed by Israel when their own rulers are doing plenty of oppression, murder, rape and torture of their own serfs.

          What you’re describing sounds whole lot like a fallacy if infinite regress as you can always go further and blame some higher tier of issues.
