No, that's part of the post text. The post's title is empty.

Why does everyone support Hamas in this?

They don't.

However the options here are to support Isreal, or Support Hamas.

That's ridiculous.

why does the US not use their political capital to stop Israel

The US is highly religious and primarily Christian (68%). Generally, Christians see Jews and by extension Israelis as "God's chosen people". The second largest religion in the US behind Christianity is Judaism (2%).

"Religious practice is widespread, among the most diverse in the world, and profoundly vibrant. The country has the world's largest Christian population. A majority of the global Jewish population lives in the United States, as measured by the Law of Return." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States#Religion

This is not news. The man's job was to make profitable games, not good games.

What an odd question. May I ask why you posed it (serious)?

I was curious why OP wanted to know the opinion of "the community".

Is it not common sense to ask for advice when you’re unsure of something?

OP didn't ask for advice.

but i wanted to at least hear the community's opinion about it

Can I ask why?

You stopped your quotation before the interesting bit:

Should literally be used for emphasis?: Usage Guide

Sense 2 is common and not at all new but has been frequently criticized as an illogical misuse. It is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary.
