From what it sounds like, the song isn’t “criticizing hamas”, it’s celebrating the mass murder and systematic starvation of an entire ethnic group of people. That’s fucked up. If isreal wasn’t systematically starving an ethnic group to death and systematically murdering journalists and people providing aid, there wouldn’t be much upset about isreal waging war against hamas, because then it would actually be war against hamas and not genocide of the palestinian people.

Why is it when anyone criticizes Hamas, they’re accused of criticizing Palestinians?

Why is it when Israel is trying to eradicate Hamas, thousands of innocent Palestinians are dead? Seems like they planned it just like the song encourages it, doesn’t it?
but keep your head up yours.

I just watched the video because from reading OP’s post I was also confused about this - it’s 100% okay to criticize Hamas, but IMO the post didn’t do a great job at explaining why it feels like it’s actually targeting Palestinians as a whole.
They repeat several times throughout the video lyrics about the trying to free Palestine. I think that’s the biggest reason I agree it should be removed. If they’d kept it very specific to Hamas and only talked about all the horrific stuff they’re doing, then that’s one thing. But it seems like they’re very focused on just general “Palestinian freedom” stuff, or at least they included it, which means that’s what it’s actually about.

Because there are a lot of dishonest people who claim they’re only criticizing Hamas, when they are actually calling for violence against all Palestinians.
“Harbu Darbu” is a perfect example of that.
