You are dead wrong about the idea that 'most people" support Hamas. A few do--hell, some people still support Stalin--and their antics are what in this day and age is considered "newsworthy" so you see a lot about them. But they are newsworthy BECAUSE they are aberrant.

I have long been disgusted by the insistence of some that being Pro Palestinian Civilians means being Pro-Hamas. It is a root failure to distinguish that often arises from living in a bubble--not unlike Fox viewers in their bubble being unable to distinguish trump's ramblings from Biden's sharp wittiness and going on about "age."

It is also a root failure to distinguish between the Israeli policies that Hamas protested (which were true) and the cynical and horrendous ways they expressed that protest.

Might be a good idea to stay here and see what people outside your bubble are saying.
