• 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.

      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).

          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.

          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.

          I usually try not to criticize them because such criticisms are being used to justify genocide

          Yeah, they are.

            Bro, they are misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic, radical Islamist, fundamentalist terrorists. They are the exact opposite of every value leftist stand for.

              made-it-the-fuck-up “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.
