Real or fake news about Hamas?

Example news below.

We had lots of fake news before to stir anger against Hamas or Palestinians from early to mid-conflict.

And now when I ask these questions in comments section in youtube, my comments are getting auto-deleted.

So it seems bots or AI are actively engaged to filter out even valid scrutiny of these reports. Generally to Israel and USA's favor.

It's only valid to scrutinize these article due to fake news and false propaganda spreading early in the conflict.

I think things are really bad now especially that AI is now being weaponized to silence even valid scrutiny. Can't trust any news anymore.

I think Oct 7 stirred all the anger that we see today. Because I've watched Hamas for several years harming Israel and the video doesn't surprise me of its truthfulness of the hate.

What stands out for me if we take a step back is that pretty well soon after Oct 7ths anti-semetism began to rise. Almost like this was a ready and waiting reaction that is deep in our spirit.

If this was any other conflict I don't think there would be so much hate for one side and denial of astrosoties of the other.

That is very telling and seems to point to something deeper going on. Perhaps more spiritual. We know many hate the Jews from our history. Why is that. It seems to provoke something more than what the situation warrants.

It's not as though Oct 7 happened in a vacuum.

No, but " I've watched Hamas for several years harming Israel and the video doesn't surprise me of its truthfulness of the hate."

It happens during a ceasefire. Oct.7 was during a ceasefire.

Blaming Israel because Hamas wants to kill Jews so much they can't even honor a ceasefire is a bridge too far.

No, it happened in the context of a brainwashed population and a "civilization" which thinks it's ok to murder people to satiate their grievances.

Doesn’t matter. It was highly uncalled for... Reprehensible... Wicked... Disgraceful...

...Unforgivable.

That's islamophobic rhetoric. Muslims in general do not countenance murder any more than Christians do.

Hamas is primarily a political group. It doesn't represent Islam. Islam is not monolithic.

Netenyahu had plenty of chances to secure the border with Gaza. Instead he relied on a flimsy security system and diverted his troops to the West Bank to harass Palestinians living near illegally occupied Israeli settlements. Then he tried to cut a deal with the Saudi regime, bypassing an actual peace process that would produce lasting peace, as most people in the region want.

Islam does not guide it's followers in the proper way. It's a cheap imitation of actual religion.

...Of course, this does not help the Muslims in any way. In fact, it makes them worse off than they would have been without it.

What is the "proper" way? If you're talking about morality in the conventional sense, many Muslims are very much capable of being virtuous people. Some are exemplary.

A minority it seems, but that's despite their religion.
