Yeah, this is coming from the IDF so it’s most likely a lie, but it seems reasonable that Hamas would be concerned about foreign countries pumping arms into Israel to commit genocide and seeking weapons of their own to defend themselves.
Self-defense is not genocide, nor is high collateral damage. That’s a very specific claim regarding intent, one that has not been established regarding Israel. Hamas, however, is explicitly genocidal. Palestinian forces committed genocide against Jews when Jordan took over Jerusalem in the 40s. If you oppose the genocidal, you should stand with Israel.
But yeah, it’s unsurprising that they want weapons, whether for defense or offense.
The people trying to kill you getting better weapons should indeed be alarming and it has nothing to do with “fairness.”
