Because the US sends it vast sums of military aid.
Your style of argument is hilarious. You literally just make shit up and put it in the mouth of your opponents. "Strawman" doesn't even begin to cover it.
I don't care.
One side is a nuclear armed military superpower which receives $4bn per year in free weapons from the USA. The other side is a bunch of stateless, impoverished teenagers living in a concentration camp. So much existential terror on both sides.
Sorry, where did I say Hamas had no responsibility for its actions? Are you making shit up again?
Of course, "Hamas" =/= "the Palestinians", any more than "the IRA" = "the Irish". Although, I can see why it is important for you to conflate the two.
Hamas bears responsibility for its actions, and I have never said otherwise. However, unlike you, I do not unquestioningly buy the standard Israeli line that it bears 100% of the responsibility for casualties that were unquestionably caused by Israeli air strikes. As usual, an enormous proportion of the people killed by Israel are not, in fact, Hamas militants.
