I'm not following you. The author points out, correctly in my view, that Hamas is no more the Palestinian people than BLM is the American people. Hamas threw the Palestinans under the bus because it had to know what the Israeli response would be and it didn't care, in fact the "invasion" was so egregious Hamas had to know what would be the fate of the people living in Gaza. I would think the number of Palestinian people, most of whom are innocent civilians just like the slaughtered Israelis were, will face consequences harsher by order of magnitude, probably already have. So if that's the equivocation you're talking about I agree. I don't think it is nonsense at all. The Palestinian people will be the big losers because of what Hamas did. As the article pointed out the only winner will be Iran.
