Everyone who fights against the genocidal state of Israel is by definition a freedom fighter.

The brain rot here is something else.

Ever heard of the enemy of my enemy being my friend? You may disagree but it's a valid position to take.

The US took that position, and we got the Taliban. Yay!

Daily reminder that the word terrorism was only coined to prevent the obvious escalation when non violent protests are either ignored or put down violently.

When you've tried peaceful protest and nothing changes you only have one option left.

The only people on Hamas' side are Netanyahu, the former Muslim Brotherhood, and Iran who all worked hard to keep Hamas well funded and in a position of authority. The important thing is to side with Palestine, not with Hamas.

And some online loons, but yes.

Nah I'm fine with backing Hamas in this case, it doesn't mean I'm home with entering they've done or do but I can say that for literally every country including my own.

I don't think there is any world or any set of circumstances that would have me backing terrorists, but you do you I guess.

You get that Israel was created by terrorists correct? It's like a very perfect pot kettle situation.

It is though. They're both terrorist states that opportunistically attack each other but one thing is factually different Israel has killed more civilians even before the festival attack and subsequent "self defense" ethnic cleansing.

Funny how you immediately assumed I approve of the actions of the Israeli government. Even more funny: given the choice between which baby killers to back you pick a side. I'm against killing babies.

That part supporters of either group fail at is that neither Hamas or the Israeli government are worthy of support or in the right. One behaves worse than the other at the moment. But there can never be peace with those two in power. It's a really fucked situation and my heart really hurts for the people caught in the crossfire of it all.
