    Weird, didn’t know that people thought well of Hamas…

    I kind of hate this meme format though because it’s normally used to erect straw men, in my experience.

      American conservatives think that any criticism of Netanyahu’s genocide is actually support for Hamas.

      Some of these conservatives are Republicans.

        Not even just American conservatives, western conservatives, liberals (often times) and a good portion of Germans from all across the political spectrum that I had the displeasure of meeting seem to think that even remotely suggesting that perhaps bombing civilians is bad even when Israel does it means you’re an antisemitic hamas supporter

      Strange folk. “October 7th was a false flag, Hamas would never perform atrocities, and if they did, they were justified, there are no civilians in the Zionist settler state” sort of things. I can dig up a few if you’re really skeptical, but honestly each time I read one I take a little SAN hit.

        Those people certainly exist but the opposite is far more numerous and vocal in positions of power, making all the anger directed towards “Hamas defenders” seem misplaced.

        It’s like watching a cat bite a bear and start fighting, destroying everything around them, and getting angry at the few people defending the cat while most people are either cheering on the bear or trying to stop the fighting.
