Reminder that Hamas rose to power with the backing of Israel as a counterweight to popular secular left wing parties in Palestine. The Hamas that exists now is far from what it was then and is not the anti-Semitic boogieman they created, but rather a larger popular front that has liberalized in some ways to the point that they are conducting the current defense against the Zionist entity as a united front with the left.
In one case their doctors even performed surgery on a wounded Israeli, in other instances they are shown protecting them from gunfire from Israeli soldiers, in others they are seen taking care of children, and in many posing for pictures with the elderly, one specific picture shows and elderly lady with a Palestinian fighters gun in her lap while she smiles and they both wave piece signs.
This fight is not as complicated as western media is trying to make it out to be.
I’m not a Zionist, but I’m also not a fucking moron
Actually you’re both.
See a therapist.
Very cool ableism. I disagree with you and think you are a liberal centrist both sides-ing genocide therefore I must have some mental disorder. Fuck ooooofffffffffffffff!
You are also flattening this conflict by claiming that Hamas are the only ones fighting back. This is not “Hamas” this is a popular front of several militant liberation organizations fighting for the existence of their people against a genocidal settler colonial project and you’re painting them all as terrorists under a blanket label that you yourself demonstrably do not understand. You are also being manipulated by imperialist media but you have to be letting yourself believe this shit at this point because it is so incredibly blatant.
By the way those people that the Palestinian fighters are defending include Palestinian Jews that Israel is bombing all the same.
To elaborate on what @ShimmeringKoi said, as a landlord they must collect rent. That is inherently an extractive and exploitative relationship and they can only extract rent with the implicit threat of violent removal from your home if you do not pay it. And the arm of the state with the monopoly on said violence is the police, ergo landlords are cops.
I don’t care what you have or have not a problem with. You have thus far done apologia for Zionism, misinformation about the Palestinian struggle, and posted unsolicited gore pictures without a source or a content warning all in THIS thread and you call me an asshole? Cool.
