The move comes as European governments fear a rise in antisemitism triggered by the Israel-Hamas war.

    Some people can distinguish between an ethnic group such as the Palestinians and a terrorist organization such as Hamas.

    Racist much?

        There have been no elections in Gaza since 2006

        At that point, Hamas won on a plurality of 41%.

        Hardly overwhelming.

        Today, 50% of the population are under 18 & 64% of adults say they do not feel it is safe to criticise Hamas.

        So enough of your nonsense, though frankly, even if a large majority had voted Hamas in a recent election, that would still leave a lot of people who are against Hamas.

            Hamas are not their elected representatives. They are a brutal dictatorship who rule Gaza with violence and fear, including slaughter & rape of their own.

            You’ve seen in unarguable terms how little Hamas cares for life. They’ll exploit the suffering and deaths of Gazans in their war against Israel. How can you possibly continue to think Gazans are able to “speak up” against Hamas after what you’ve seen Hamas do?

        Who would you elect after being displaced into the world’s largest prison by someone who took over your home 60 years ago?

        Not defending the actions of Hamas, but such an outcome was more or less inevitable. Hate breeds hate.
