Hamas isn't Palestine.

According to Wikipedia, "Gaza" is the largest city in Palestine, and "Hamas" is the government of Palestine.

Putin isn't Russia either. By that logic Russia didn't attack Ukraine?

    As the russians were not asked about it.

    The russian government decided to do so and to supress any oposition.

    (But their army is largely made up of volunteers)

      How do you do that when dealing with nationalist governments waging nationalist wars? The most generous framing of either side’s ask in the Gaza war is for nationhood.
