Well here is one, Israel was not occupying the Gaza Strip during the Hamas attack, nor before. They haven’t occupied that land since the mid 2000’s. So Hamas has no “right to self defense” or “resistance right” against an occupier. Because there was one.

Before you rebut by saying that Israel occupies the West Bank, Hamas doesn’t run the West Bank. Fatah runs the West Bank. So if anyone should have attacked according to your logic, it should have been an attack from the West Bank by Fatah. Not Hamas from Gaza. And Hamas didn’t do it for those in the West Bank, don’t be gullible, they want to kill all the Jews and destroy Israel. I know this because they don’t hide it. They say so.

Hamas was not occupied, Gaza was not occupied, so that “rule” doesn’t apply to them. So go ahead and do as you promised and take back your statement.
