Original Note:
Gaza is a region, whereas Hamas is an organisation. It is a falsehood to suggest that all Gazans are members of Hamas. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/8/what-is-the-group-hamas-a-simple-guide-tothe-palestinian-group https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proscribed-terror-groups-or-organisations--2/proscribed-terrorist-groups-or-organisations-accessible-version https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67039975 Furthermore, there is little evidence suggesting the majority of Gazans support Hamas, given their last election was 18 yrs ago. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/24/gaza-election-hamas-2006-palestine-israel/ https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/10/was-hamas-elected-to-govern-gaza-george-w-bush-2006-palestinian-election.html
