You can support the liberation of the Palestinians and the end of the Israeli apartheid without having to support a terroristic and ultra religious regime who's only solution to the problem is to "kill every jew". I mean at least you can say that Hamas are more honest about what they want, but that is not an acceptable thing to support. If you support either regime you are advocating for genocide one way or another.
Hamas would have much more support from the Western world if they didnt target innocent civilians. They are completely justified in fighting for their future, the problem is that their way of going about it is deeply flawed. If you can't see that then I guess I will just agree to disagree.
I also know that you are going to say, "but Clyde! Israel targets civilians too. They are starving them to death." Yea I know. Fuck them. I wish somebody with some real power would actually do something about it, but the world sucks. Hamas is accomplishing nothing but accelerating the Palestinians genocide, though. They aren't helping their people, they are making their lives worse.
I also don't see how constantly going to bat for Hamas on social media is helping their cause in anyway. It just sounds like it would be draining to be the constant contrarian, but idk maybe you are just a bot.
How does your liberal handwringing "support" Palestinian liberation, Clyde? "Thoughts & Prayers" does not magically turn into AKs and RPGs last time I checked.
Really? Is this what you are referring to?
It's really funny to me that you think the west has ever cared about innocent civilians.
If it wasn't for Hamas you wouldn't even have noticed the Palestinian genocide.
