Is Hamas Motivated by Politics or Religion

people. I, I understand- Why don't you give me a straight answer? Yeah. Tucker- Telling me names is not gonna deter me.

I understand the bigger point you made. I, but like I said, y- you definitely say- Yeah. It's the only point I'm making ... you definitely, you definitely said in passing that they seem more like a political organization.

So do you wanna clarify what you meant by that bit? You sure?

Hamas was funded by Israel to some extent.

It's not a controversial statement. It's not a conspiracy theory.

It's an established fact by the current prime minister, took money, gave it to Hamas.

Sh- I, I meant what I said, which is they are either...

I'm not questioning whether they've committed violence. They have.

I'm opposed to that. I'm opposed to all violence, period.

And I'm opposed to Hamas violence. I'm opposed to killing people.

The question is, if you are telling me that they are inspired to kill because of their religious ideology, that is a different thing from people who are inspired to kill by their political ideology.

Because if it's political, you can imagine an alliance with Christians.

If it is a religious motivation, it is impossible to imagine, as I said in that clip, Christian accomplices.

There weren't a lot of Christians supporting Al-Qaeda because Al-Qaeda was explicitly anti-Christian.

So was ISIS. Fatah, which was again a radical or violence-prone Palestinian political organization, had Christian support.

So which is it? That's my point. Mm. I was calling into question their lack of a coherent explanation for why Christians are being killed in a conflict that, from my perspective, doesn't seem to have anything to do with them. But do, do you view- So why are you desecrating churches?
