What is the deal with Palestine and Hamas? - eviltoast

For mental health reasons, I had taken myself out of most political topics. But lately there seems to be a surge of talk about Palestine and Hamas (forgive me if I spelled this wrong). I do know it’s something to do with land rights, but it also seems to be so much more at the same time. I’m not trying to start any fights. I just want to understand. Thank you.

    When elections were held some wanted to not allow armed groups to participate but ultimately they were allowed. hamas killed competitors. its basically not really democratically elected. it was but not at the power levels it eventually took.
