Question honestly from a place of ignorance: is it not?

I don’t know much about that group other than the attack a couple years ago. I do know that IDF is a terrorist org because they’re currently committing a genocide.*

    Hamas is the government of the Gaza strip. They have a military and they do military operations. If you call them terrorists, you might hold that same opinion about other governments

    i don't consider Hamas to be a legitimate government since they haven't held any elections in Gaza since 2006, nor do they provide services or international negotiations. Fatah, comparatively, is a legitimate government but lacks the ability to resist Israeli genocide

    I think this might be a legitimate use of “both sides” but I don’t know enough about them to say for sure.
