The title doesn't convey what the tweet is saying.

Also, Hamas is dead weight for the Palestinian cause.

And also no Hamas is not based.

The state of where we are as a species: you got mixed votes on this. In Lemmy. A place that's supposed to be an absolute den of progressive values.

Are you saying that without Hamas occupation would end?

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

No. The occupation will end when the apartheid regime is defeated.

When I say they're dead weight, I mean at this point they are more useful to the apartheid regime as a stick with which to hit the Palestine liberation movement, than they are useful to the Palestine liberation movement.

That is why Bibi helped fund them.

Which is the real liberation movement? The real dead weight are those major countries that continue to have a normal relation with the colonial power despite 57 goddamn year of occupation
