      Yeah that’s not what you said in the post, but okay. You are praising Hamas for all kinds of things in the comments here. If Hamas was in power though I imagine they as an organization to do the same exact thing to Israelis which is why I’m not commending them in general. If the post had said “do you oppose colonialism?” I of course would have said yes. You’re lying to yourself buddy. Hamas is not a leftist organization by any means

        Projecting like a movie theater + “my source is that I made it the fuck up”.

        You literally said you do not support Hamas or “Israel”, by definition you do not oppose colonialism.

        You’re lying to yourself buddy. Hamas is not a leftist organization by any means

        I think the part where I claimed Hamas were socialists also happened in your mind palace, because it definitely didn’t happen in reality.

        Would you have not supported (for example) the UK during WW2 because they weren’t “leftists”? What’s the difference between these two situations? us-foreign-policy

          Ok, ok I get it. You’re an irritating ass that spends way too much time on the internet. No reason to keep repeating yourself. This is LeftyMemes

            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!”

            07 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).

            • Me, further explaining my reasoning.

            Furthermore, it should not be surprising to you that leftists would be interested in opposition to colonialism in general. Groups in the imperial periphery don’t have to be “leftist” to do good work opposing colonialism which leftists should acknowledge and support.
