Oh... So the people who've been unjustly exiled to Gaza, imprisoned and starved, for the last 17 years joined in on the revolt? Shocking. 🤦
There has been no "VOTE" for Hamas, since the one that the Zionist-Apartheid Entity helped them to win, back in 2005 or 6.
In that Katie Halper video - you'd see the question of support for Hamas is discussed. It's not universal - but certainly, amongst those abused and imprisoned in Gaza, who've watched their relatives be butchered by repeated Zionist attacks against the prison-colony...the desire for vengeance is understandable. COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT and broad brushing is being urged in the passage you quote (, taken from which source?).
"Calls for Palestinians to be “wiped out,” “no room for mercy”"
David Ben Zion, is a leader of the Shomron Regional Council of 35 illegal West Bank settlements who called this year for the Palestinian village of Huwara to be “wiped out.”
“Enough talk about building and strengthening the settlements,” Ben David said in a Twitter post on February 26, 2023. The deterrence that was lost must return now, there’s no room for mercy.”
Ben David was quoted ... proclaiming soon after, “The village of Huwara should be wiped out, this place is a nest of terror and the punishment should be for everyone,” a clear call for the collective punishment of Palestinians."
....
Ben Zion’s tweet was ‘liked’ on Twitter by Israel’s-then Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a move which prompted 22 legal scholars to call on the Attorney General to open an investigation into the official for “inducing war crimes.” When Smotrich later echoed Ben David, calling to “wipe out” Huwara the following month, the US Department of State condemned his rhetoric as “dangerous.”
The village of Huwara was at the time the target of violent rioting by settlers operating under Ben Zion’s watch. Following the settler assault on the town, which resulted in the torching of scores of homes and vehicles, as well as injuries to locals, Hamas characterized the attack as a “declaration of war.”
...Ben Zion’s call for collective punishment in Huwara was far from his only genocidal imprecation against Palestinians. Indeed, he has used his social media accounts to repeatedly call for war crimes as well as the “deportation of the [Palestinian] masses.”
“The Palestinian people… [are] an enemy,” . “We can’t change their barbaric DNA.”
