Damn even Hamas getting involved in the geopolitical game now.

This is like when Russia condemns Israel's invasion of Palestine.

I’ve heard that Hamas and Russia have some loose diplomatic ties, so it makes sense.

Loose? Hamas leaders visit Putin and keeps talking about Russia being their best friends.

They are both allies of Iran. But it's quite hypocritical from Hamas to condemn and attack very similar to what they did in Israel.

They're both terrorist attacks but they're very different. It's not hypocritical. They are a resistance group for an oppressed people who was trying to obtain hostages for a hostages swap. They had let's say 50% civilian causality (real number is unknown).

The Russian attack was not by an oppressed people. It did not target any legitimate military targets. It's pure terror with the purpose of inflicting harm and terror on the population.

A significant number of Israeli civilians were killed by friendly fire on October 7th. I think I read that 1/3 of the deaths were from Hamas. They really weren't trying to massacre people. Just create enough chaos to escape with hostages to exchange

600-700 were active soldiers in a military outpost

Israel buried (to hide evidence) ~70 vehicles that have been targeted by IOF on Oct 7th.

The music festival was not part of the original plan; the festival had changed locations randomly 2 days prior

Wrong. Much of isis in the caucus region are led by Chechens and Chechnya is a current puppet state of Russia. It’s seen as an occupation by many of them
