I think, if 3 years into a horrific Israeli genocide in Gaza, 100,000+ killed, almost 2m displaced; and as Israel carries out live ethnic cleansing in front of our eyes in the non-Hamas West Bank; if you’re focus is still on Hamas and ‘both sides’ then you’re telling on yourself.

I think a fair-minded listener to the bulk of your commentary would have trouble discerning your belief (if it is your belief) that Hamas bears a significant share of responsibility for the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. It's possible to be very critical of Israeli operations in Gaza and of the extremists and racists who currently sit in the Israeli government, and assign their share of responsibility, while also recognizing the former.
