> it seems there is some nuance in that Palestine is not Hamas and vice versa

That's like saying the Nazis were not Germany and vice versa.

That is technically correct.

Hamas governs Palestine (to be precise, Gaza).

Hamas also has widespread support within Palestine. Overwhelmingly the population of Palestine supports the actions of October 7. There is no clean separation between Palestine and Hamas, as much as one side wants you to believe there is.
