They are democratic.
Their constituents chose—chose—a party of genocidal antisemites to represent them. Hamas has been transparent about their claimed “struggle against the Jews” since day one. The people seem to want this.
The last two times the West had racists in power we got a Civil War and then a World War (the second being directly antisemitic).
The world said “never again”, and then when someone tried it again, they cheered them on.

Israel played a pretty heavy role in the creation of Hamas. It’s not that simple here

And the Founding Fathers in the United States created the situation of slavery in the South as a power play. Doesn’t make the South any less culpable for their misdeeds.

I see what you’re trying to do but that’s very much a false equivalence. It’s more akin to the US’ role in the creation of the Taliban (among many, many other orgs)

How is it a false equivalence? The Constitution literally said that Black people were 60% of a person. The South chose officials who enforced and fought tooth and nail to subjugate Blacks (Bleeding Kansas, anyone?).
The South had to go. (Or do you consider them a poor, marginalized population for what the Union did to them?)
