Reason: Ya'll are gonna reap consequences for allowing pro-terrorist messages and nurturing pro-hamas sentiment. We can be better, we can have conversations about how bad people are bad without supporting other bad people.

I want Palestinian people to be safe and unharmed. I want Israelis to be safe and unharmed.
Guess that makes me an antisemite. /s
You also can be against the IDF and against Hamas and still support Palestinians.
Can you? How are you supporting Palestinians?
By supporting the Palestinian Authority and the PLO
I assume you're joking
You can support hamas at the level of their resistance to colonialism. Just like you can support Maduro at the level of the resistance to imperialist aggressions.
Support doesnt need to be absolute. But just supporting the palestinians without support for their flawed means of resistance is pointless, demobilising, weakening...

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.
You would have condemned Nelson Mandela and the ANC

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?
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

Really happy to see the white “progressives” finally come around on this.
Hamas has my support as the only armed resistance against Israel, sorry they’re not very nice about getting genocided and it hurts your feelings lmao
