      No. But even if 100% of the population of Gaza supported Hamas and even the Al Aqsa Flood, that’s still no excuse to kill civilians.
      However the Israeli government has given no straight answers, fabricated evidence, and muddied the waters continuously since the 7th of October. It uses every opportunity to distract from and distort the truth. It will also take this as just such an opportunity.
