I (somewhat) joke that the main reason I hate Hamas so much is that they make we sound like I am pro-Netanyahu when I think he is the worst thing to ever happen to Israel.

Why do you say “Fuck that guy”? Israelis hate him because of his corruption charges and his attempt to undermine the justice system, ostensibly for his benefit/protection. But I think he is not generally thought to be involved in a LIHOP, nor do I think it generally thought that he has been conducting the military operations vs Gaza (Hamas), Hezbollah (southern Lebanon), Houthis (Yemen), Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Judea/Samaria Palestinians over the past year. Quite a responsibility given this small country is being attacked by 7 separate entities.
