Sorry, my inflection is weird. Let me try again.

Woooooooooooow.

Hamas: misunderstood secular humanists who aspire toward the best for us all.

And why is it you can call Netanyahu and Likud theocratic and that's not antisemitism, but I call Hamas theocrats and that's Islamophobia?

That's packing a lot of contradiction into so few words. I'm honestly kind of impressed by the economy of it.
