        “Hamas vs Israel” is a category error. It’s Hamas vs Likud or Palestine vs Israel. Nobody should support Hamas or Likud. Nobody should even tolerate them. They’re both terrorist groups whose goal is genocide.

        “Race” for humans is a made up concept and “racism” has been used to refer to any kind of hating a group for their ethnicity. “Ethnicity” is a very ambiguously defined concept notably including shared attributes like nationality, language, history, religion, etc.

        I, too, am not a fan of words being used incorrectly, but this is not an incorrect use of “racism”.
