    Hamas is literally an offshoot of the Muslim brotherhood.

    Fatah is reasonably secular. But Hamas is fighting a literal jihad against Jews. To Hamas, this is very much a religious war to establish a Muslim theocracracy over all of Israel.

      You’re still confusing the pretext with the actual reason. Hamas and the Zionists both say they are doing this for religious reasons, but the actual reasons are much more complex and almost entirely political and social. You’re buying into the propaganda from both sides of you really think the root of this catastrophe is religion.

      Hamas only exists because of the occupation and oppression caused by the state of Israel.

        Groups against Jews have existed in the area before Israel and Palestine were established.

        People blissfully forget that when they believe defending yourself justifies all means.
