Although this question is framed in the shittiest way possible, I would still support Hamas over the IDF because only one of these organizations are guilty of genocide.
That’s the main pitfall of this topic. There doesn’t have to be a “good guy” in every conflict. Killing over 1000 Israelis on October 7th, mostly civilians, was unjustified as is keeping the remaining hostages (it’s clearly not restraining the IDF). Likewise blocking aid, destroying hospitals, and targeting journalists is completely unjustified. If you ask me who’s trying their best to do what’s right for their people I would say Hamas.
It’s 1000 civilian deaths (many shot dead by the IDF due to the Hannibal Detective) vs. a literal genocide and complete destruction of Gaza.
The problem is that people like yourself equate these two things. What Israel has done since Oct 7 (which was not unprovoked, by the way) has been worse by several orders of magnitude.
I think the real problem is that they’re both trying to do what’s best for their people, and they’re both crap at being the best for their people.
Hamas and the IDF both want the other side dead dead. No matter who wins, that’s a lot of dead folks. The path to a peaceful resolution has probably become some convoluted and overgrown I’m not sure possible to hack our way through. But truthfully, that takes both orgs being willing to take that path and I’m not sure that’s on the table anymore.
Israel is winning and we’ve all got blood on our hands, btw. But if we backed Hamas and they were winning we’d have the same blood on our hands.

Easiest call I’ve ever made.
Israel managed to figure out to turn a vicious terrorist group into the good guys.
Hamas terrorism is a direct consequence of 77 years of oppression
Turns out when people break out of a literal concentration camp to fight back against their oppressor they’re

Yeah but it’s not “likewise,” is it?

Oh, for sure. We’re talking what’s the bigger of two massively negative numbers.
Or we back neither, strongly condemn genocide, proclaim our commitment to Peace, and act as the neutral party to negotiate a peace treaty.
That’s disturbing, both sides are POS’s.
You are the POS
Aren’t we constantly told we need to choose between the lesser of two evils?
Thanks for the enlightenment.
