The situation in Gaza is pretty dire, and radicalizing in itself, however, the recent progress toward a cease fire seems to be ignored by far too many “protesters”, especially online.
Too many people in "alternative media" carrying water for a genocidal terrorist group that are rationalizing how Hamas not releasing hostages and not agreeing to a ceasefire is somehow Joe Biden's fault.
Hamas has signaled that their support in the west is influencing them to carry on with the war.
I guess it's difficult for an idealistic young person to face the possibility that they might be on the wrong side of things and are actually making things worse, not better. So they're choosing delusion over reality.
