@stomachamelon i think you are missing the point. The documentary doesn’t celebrate Hamas or excuse their actions on October 7th, what it does is investigate what they did and didn’t do.
It is also highlighting that it was very strange how far they got before Israeli forces stopped them. It wasn’t implying “poor Hamas…” it was merely saying how crazy it was that so much time elapsed before Israel regained full control.
The documentary draws attention to the unlikeliness of this happening in the context of Gaza being under constant surveillance and Israel obviously being so heavily fortified. Ultimately the documentary suggests that it was down to a series of very unfortunate factors which combined to allow enough ‘chinks in the armour’ for this to occur. obviously no one, including Hamas themselves, were expecting for them to go on so long undefeated. This is why the documentary talks about how they were arguing amongst themselves, walking around aimlessly, etc, as they obviously didn’t think they would have got this far.
Hamas are not glorified in the documentary and they do not come across well, their use of violence against innocent civilians is heinous.
They are guilty of very real war crimes and there is no need for anyone to fabricate further crimes.
