If Hamas is, or acts for, the people of Gaza (as the man clearly says), then the propaganda line that 'It's Hamas, not the people of Gaza who are responsible for the atrocities' collapses to rhetorical rubble. If one follows the view this man has expressed, why should anyone enraged by the atrocities give a fig what happens to them in consequence?
