I dislike the “but they are religious extremists” argument.
How the fuck is a country supposed to progress if they are being actively colonized and exploited?
Also still doesn’t justify killing civilians on the other side of the planet.
Hamas ≠ Palestine but they are doing more to stop Palestinian deaths than most organizations.
Thank you, it baffles me how many people who think of themselves as “leftists” fail to understand these things.
One of the several issues western shitlibs tend to suffer from is that they expect a perfect Netflix style resistance™. They don’t understand that resistance is an imperfect process done by flawed individuals who sometimes do bad. Yet through it all even a deeply flawed resistance is better than a genocidal occupation.
So yes unironically I do support Hamas and I support every resistance group to imperialism regardless of how flawed they are because morality means nothing to the dead.

THANK YOU, you see it all over this very thread. It’s unbelievable (well, sadly believable, but it shouldn’t be) at this point in time that people who think of themselves as “leftists” would still behave this way.

It’s literally just this simple and IMO all the pearl clutching people do to avoid saying this comes from a place of western chauvinism.

This especially pisses me off, this western centric idea that specifically the western definition of how things should be done (which the west literally never follows). The western shitlib will say “terrorism is always bad” yet will support terrorism by the US. They will say “dictatorship are evil” yet will support the dictatorship of capital.
I think this in paeticular does fit the comm, since it plays with the fucking over used braindead “Do you condemn Khamas?!!1!1!!1!”
Also they are the main force in the united front of the Resistance against the occupation, which includes Palestinian communists (such as the PFLP whose logo is in the meme as well).
Can’t say I do. But until israel has become wasrael, they’ll have my support.

Well… it sounds like you do commend Hamas for their resistance to the genocidal colonial occupation (complimentary, I mean this as a good thing, of course).
It might be my ND brain taking “commend” too literally, but I’d rather frame my support as acknowledging Hamas as a proper resistance movement, and doing my best to contextualize their actions when talking about them. All the shit flinging for whatever ideological divergence is better left for later.
I see where you’re coming from. I personally understand “commend” in this case to mean “acknowledge their resistance and give them credit for it” (which I see you do), but I understand what you’re saying, especially when sometimes people will see you agree with “commend” and then gladly use whatever definition they like and put it in your mouth.
An open dialogue discussing the nuances of each other’s interpretations to come to a common ground? On my political memes sub?
What heresy is this?
Don’t worry, there’s more of what you would expect further down the thread.
Yea, I see that thread too.
No
Care to expand on that?
I also don’t commend Israeli government.
Wow, you oppose both sides, the perpetrators and those who resist them. Would you like a medal to take back to your mind palace, where unlike in reality that opinion might actually mean anything?
See. The point of this post is to create a false dichotomy. I hope you fucking wise up. I support the Palestinian people and most of all their poor children.

Enjoy the mind palace while the rest of us exist in reality, where Hamas are in fact the main resistance group and are in a united front with every other relevant resistance group.
Sounds good I will, enjoy supporting people for no real reason, who have also killed people using religion and hate to justify their actions

Opposing colonialism = “no real reason” lmao.

“My source is that I made it the fuck up.”
And blocked OP plus this whole community.
So nice for the trash to take itself out. Go ahead and do me too, bootlicker.
Nice, thank you for doing it yourself!
I don’t see what’s so funny about a radical Islamist terrorist organization?
If that’s your impression of what Hamas is, you are either severely misinformed or you harbor racial/religious bias. I’m assuming it’s the former, so I will let you know that that is not an accurate description of Hamas. If you are interested in finding out more about them, you should read their updated charter from 2017.
They pursue a deliberate strategy of killing and kidnapping civilians. They brutalize and repress any autonomous political movements within Gaza. Violent repression of queer or otherwise nonconforming Gazans is commonplace. And their disastrous political and military strategy was a large contributor to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Gazans over the past several years.
I usually try not to criticize them because such criticisms are being used to justify genocide but I don’t know how else to respond to a ridiculous post like this.
Have you ever heard the term “critical support”? Resistance doesn’t need to be perfect to be valid. Read “Perfect Victims” by Mohammed El-Kurd.
They pursue a deliberate strategy of killing and kidnapping civilians.
They “kidnap” civilians (among also many military members) in an attempt to do prisoner exchanges in response to a much more large-scale strategy of the same employed by “Israel”. Unlike “Israel” they are working with few resources and very little intelligence data, so it’s not surprising their actions aren’t always surgically precise (whereas “Israel”, of course, constantly target civilians deliberately).

Literally victim blaming, lol. You’re not only assuming that they could have predicted the exact course of events (including the scale of their success in Al-Aqsa flood and the scale of the “Israeli” response), but softly absolving the actual perpetrators of much of the blame. There is one and only one party responsible for this and for all other violence within Palestine since 1948. That’s what colonialism is.

Yeah, they are.
Resistance doesn’t need to be perfect to be valid.
Bro, they are misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic, radical Islamist, fundamentalist terrorists. They are the exact opposite of every value leftist stand for.

“My source is that I made it the fuck up.”You also don’t seem to understand the concepts of colonialism and resistance to colonialism. Opposing colonialism is a value every leftist should stand for.

Hamas are responsible for the worst killing of Jews since the Holocaust.
Damn, I didn’t realize the 1976 right-wing military coup in Argentina (the actual largest massacre of Jews since the holocaust, committed by people who “Israel” continued to arm before, during, and after) was Hamas.
Holy fucking misinformation.
You should see them when they drag murdered people around and cheer for their death. Or just watch them stream it if you don’t want to actually be there and get killed too unless you happen to have the right skin color/language/religion.
Excellent comment about the “IDF”, but I’m not sure what it has to do with anything I said.
Ah yes, the classical kindergarten argument. Will played, I am defeated. And Hamas is great because there are other evils too, makes sense.
No, I didn’t mean “both sides bad”, I meant that your comment literally only makes sense if you were talking about the “IDF” lmao.
