But you see, in a dialectical analysis, far-right terrorists like Hamas serve a progressive role by not being the US, and therefore deserve critical support by leftists who are definitely not crypto-fascists. —Marxist-Leninists

Note: This is sure as shit not meant to downplay or deny Israel's ongoing genocide. Only to point out the absurdity of some online leftists in simping for Hamas and expressing disbelief that far-right theocrats with a history of committing terrible crimes would commit terrible crimes.

I saw that, which is why I didn't label the character "OP." It was intended more of a response in general, not a specific criticism of you.

I don't get too worked up by right-wing religious nuts harming other right-wing religious nuts.

Sadly, there are many innocents who are caught between the two.

Yep, thats my Main issue. Also there seems to be a group oft people that can make out the good guys in this conflict, which isnt a thing i think.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But the IDF is the most moral army in the world, they said so.

oh, okay then. if people say they are something they just are, right?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

Obviously, no one is allowed to lie on the internet

The only thing I can say is that both have no problem with harming combatants and civilians alike, but one side is disproportionately killing civilians with the resources at their disposal (Israel) just because they can.

I'm not convinced that Hamas wouldn't do the same if the tables were turned, but one side needs to be better if we're ever to see an end to this conflict.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ehh, Hamas would have killed just as many if not far more civilians by now if Israel didn’t have such good defenses with things like the iron dome.

Hamas and the Islamic brotherhood have only fired 12,000 rockets at Israel since 10/7. I'm sure they don't want to kill indiscriminately, just give the Israelis a fireworks show! /s

We can guess they would, as they are backed by iran, who has declared they want to wipe Israel off the map.

(Not Zion posting, Israel is commiting genocide, just saying Hamas is no better, just less capable)

I always thought the IDF was supposed to be super skilled and tactical. I expected surgical strikes to take out terrorists and minimize civilian casualties. They had a reputation for strength.

Turns out they're either incompetent or they're genocidal or both. Hint: both.

Unfortunately, for those in the know, the IDF's callous and sadistic operations in Palestine have been known for some time. They had a good PR arm making themselves out to be super careful in the occupied territories, but it was always at odds with their actions.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If their good pr looks like that, I can’t imagine the bad pr arm

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, the good PR arm is pre-October 7, back when they were 'just' doming American citizens and tying Palestinian children to their vehicles as human shields. Right now I'm pretty sure their entire PR team is either on vacation celebrating that their job is over now that Israel is going mask off, or have chosen to eat a bullet over seeing their work whitewashing all these atrocities pissed away by Netanyahu.

They weren’t that great before. lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just needed to be good enough to convince a significant portion of the American electorate to back them to the hilt.

Yeah. Hamas doesn't have any moral high ground, but the one that needs to be restrained at this moment in time is Israel.
