    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.

        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.

            The ANC? Partisans during WW2? The Warsaw ghetto uprising? The American founding fathers? John Brown?

            People like you who unquestioningly side with oppressors are worse than any terrorist.

            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.

                    I didn’t at all do that, I simply mentioned the other combatant. Everyone picks a side, I might just be more honest about that than most.

                    Just pretend that Hamas are AZOV and that instead of Islamic hardliners trying to reclaim their country, they’re neonazi hardliners trying to reclaim their country. I’m guessing you’ll suddenly lose your aversion to picking a side.
