What a ridiculous question. The real answer, and the one commonly accepted in any Arab country, is I don’t condemn resistance movements. I only blame them for not doing more to avoid civilian casualties that’s all.

    I don’t think there is a PR friendly answer as such since you either condemn hamas unconditionally or you are soft on them.

    My response generally has been “Objectively the only strategy that can stop the existence of Hamas is to forcefully stop the Israeli campaign of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid, if you want to bomb Hamas out of existence that objectively means bombing every single Palestinian to death.”

    This is of course, not condemning Hamas, so its not PR friendly.

      PR friendly: "I’m in no position to condemn or endorse Hamas; this is up to the Palestinians living in Gaza. And … " then what you wrote.
