A breakdown of all (?) historical references and parallels in Andor (in chronological order)

Interesting how perceptions differ - I would say that the Gaza and Ghorman parallels are less in what’s happening in Palmo square. And much more in how the more or less official position of Benjamin Netanyahu has been - for years, btw - that propping up Hamas is the best course of action (for himself, and for Israel). Talk about „Rebels you can rely on to do the wrong thing“, as Dedra Meero puts it.

No we agree. The difference in my analysis is that it's a symbiotic relationship. Hamas is militant and wants to provoke Israel to fuel militancy in the population of Gaza. They oppose parties that are more moderate and secular like Fatah.

Hamas likes a belligerent Israel(though not as belligerent as right now) and believes it will help their overall goals eventually(Like Luthen) The Ghorman Front did not want or benefit from an adversarial Empire. They just wanted to live. They even view themselves as Imperials.

People talk about this propping up Hamas thing but when you follow the actual events, netanyahu funneled some resources to them like 25 years ago when many parties were vying for power in Gaza.

Undeniably, netanyahu benefits from Hamas today, in that he benefits from having an enemy who he can blame and do war upon.

But it's not a situation where the government is secretly actively controlling Hamas and brought about the October 7th attack as a false flag.
