Please excuse my ignorance on this topic, but what kind of Hamas did they vote for? Were the voters lied to or were they coerced in some negative way? Did they know that the Hamas they were voting for were capable of the things that just happened?

Truly, I don’t know much of anything about this wretched situation, but I do know people who regretted their vote for Nixon, ya know?
