    Condemn the Israeli government and IDF for the monsters they are, and support the Palestinians for the victims they are.
    But you don’t need to glorify hamas.
    The Palestinians have a right to defend their land, but the organization that came in to organize the defenders happens to be a problematic one.

    That said, it’s a tough spot because there isn’t really a good way to materially support the defenders without also supporting Hamas, and the defenders absolutely need support.

    I aint gonna say I support Hamas but under international law, Palestinians have all and any means available to them to fight Israeli occupation and genocide.

    Israel is a disgusting abomination that destroyed rules based international order US tried building.

    I hope Israel was worth it, dear “leaders”

      Israel is the embodiment of the “rules based international order” the US built. Remember, the phrase itself is designed to invoke the moral connotations of “International Law”, while not actually expressing any intent to actually abide by international law.

      Literally “we make the rules, and we give the orders”

      What if you put your thumb all the way in your butthole and sang National Anthem by Lana del Rey? 🤔

      Equal condemnation for unequal sin minimizes the greater and exaggerates the lesser. That ceases to be an answer and becomes a cover for genocidal fascists against a national liberation movement.

      That is true, but hamas has a far better reason to be an asshole. If I were in their situation, I wouldn’t be the most agreeable person either. My hope is that if their impending doom is eliminated, their more problematic behavior would go with it.
