You can support hamas at the level of their resistance to colonialism

How about supporting anti-colonialism without supporting murderers on either side. Seriously, you don't need to latch onto bad people to fight bad people.

I don't know who needs to read this affirmation out there but here we go, repeat after me:

Good things are good, bad things are bad.

Great, lets fight colonialism by repeating tautologies out loud. Whats your great moral plan of action for the people dying in gaza?

You can say that pro-terrorist sentiment is bad without having all the answers for how to fucking solve the middle-east conflict that's going on longer than either of us have been alive. This is a bad-faith response because you don't know how to actually defend the idea and I won't see another response from you. Go ahead and play to the crowd, maybe you'll get an updoot.
