I'm skeptical that hamas has the resources to spread much misinformation to us. This doesn't feel like a "both sides" time.

They literally have the government platform in Gaza and are for some reason believed at face value despite being more wrong than right. They are also amplified by multiple Arab states and their state run news organizations.

Right. I don't think the Palestinian government has the propaganda resources to match the combined Israeli and US governments.

They absolutely do and they place no limitations on themselves.
