Actually, Hamas makes sense. They send Jews to hell because they are

Hamas, killing is always win-win.

 The Muslims don't describe Jew as heretics (which is pretty much a term used only by Christians to describe other Christians). Jews and Christian are seen as also people of the book - if not quite of the same book as Muslims - and don't get persecuted by Muslims on theological grounds.
 Hamas doesn't make any kind of sense, any more than Donald Trump does. Like him, they are performance artists who will do pretty much anything to get the attention they crave.
 

But for better or worse if Trump's supporters violently butchered 1300 people in the US (not a difficult event to imagine...) every Democrat would be demanding an immediate cease fire and asking for unity and sending thoughts and prayers, not dispatching the strike fighters out to level the Mar-a-Lago Club and half of Palm Beach along with it.
The right's politicians have spent 30 years playing to Republicans most vicious and violent revenge fantasies while the Dems always tell me why I can't have what I want because it might anger the wingnuts (they always are.) the Dems could learn a bit about how to run a campaign from them.
