    You recall that Hamas attacked Israel in the bloodiest assault in history, right?

    You guys make me embarrassed to call myself a lefty.

      Well gee, that sure does give Isreal the right to do ethnic cleansing. It’s self defense after all so everything is permissible. /s

          But you Hamas supporters

          I don’t support Hamas.

          and only care about Palestine because they’re brown

          No, I’m just against ethnic cleansing, which is what Isreal is currently doing and getting billions of dollars in support for.

          Isreal shouldn’t be doing ethnic cleansing, nor should Hamas.

          Your white guilt is so fucking lame 😂

          It’s really a sign of intelligence to assume things of people you don’t know and have only ever spoken to on the internet.

          And you inserted your own pro-Hamas

          Saying that Isreal shouldn’t be killing civilians and doing ethnic cleansing is not pro-Hamas.

          Neither party should be doing those things.

          You can be against the Israeli government’s war crimes AND against Hamas’ war crimes.

          I am.

          Try it, having principals instead of an agenda is freeing and might feel good to you.

          Perhaps you could try not assuming the worst out of people you don’t know.

              it reads like whataboutism.

              If you have problems with me saying ‘Isreal’s crimes are wrong’ without clarification about Hamas being bad as well then you should have first had problems with the guy saying “Hamas attacked Israel in the bloodiest assault in history”, implying everything Isreal is doing is morally permissible.

                  Why do you pretend everybody is stupid? People know the history. They know the attack didn’t happen in a vacuum. They can also think it’s bad.

                  As a result of this they can tell when somebody is doing atrocity propaganda to defend and aid in Israel’s impunity to kill thousands of Palestinians.

                    This person regularly engages in insidious faux-intellectual Islamaphobia and then hides behind a “hurr durr I also think Netanyahu bad, why do you love hamas so much” when pressed at all. Every single time I’ve seen them call out a specific user for antisemitism it’s been them conflating anti Zionism with antisemitism. It’s simultaneously excusing genocide and watering down antisemitism to being a meaningless term.

                    It’s blatant, embarassing, and morally bankrupt.

      Hamas doing something horrible doesn’t make it OK to starve the entirety of Gaza though, not everyone inside Gaza is Hamas
