Wild that you didn't read his entire comments where he explains what he means by that. Ignoring Hamas and what they did, and just taking the side of the Palestinians, is supporting a hate and terror group.

No one is ignoring Hamas or condoning their actions. But our government isn’t financially supporting Hamas with our tax dollars while Americans are going broke.

Almost every post on this topic in any sub in Reddit ignores their actions and praises the Palestinians, who are...wait for it...the ones who elected Hamas to lead them.

While I get the tax objection, that's not often cited as the issue.

And yes, your tax dollars did support Hamas via UNRWA to the tune of 7 billion per year. A drop in the bucket vs support to Israel, but stop acting like your money wasn't supporting terrorists.

the last time palestine voted in hamas was 2006, and they got less than half the vote.

almost half of palestinian citizens are under 20 who.. wait for it... weren't even born when the vote happened.
