More than a few-

Hamas' objective, since its creation, has always been to slaughter all Jews and eradicate Israel.

"From the River to the Sea"

In 2006, Hamas ran openly for the first time in legislative elections and won the largest number of seats.

Considering this, there was/is a substantial amount of the civilian population that have the same ideals as Hamas.

I'm not saying it's okay, but war is hell.
