I know the comments are immediately filled by these assholes but I'm glad they are being down voted and OP is being up voted.
Its so akward to engage with people like that... it's like people supporting russia because ukraine is supported by america. 2 can be shit at once. Its not that hard.
If isis starts attacking israel, that does not mean you need to support isis...
if in some bizzare, hypothetical fantasy world, isis somehow invaded israel and stopped the ongoing genocide there and delivered a perfect two state solution overnight, would you be morally against specifically that action because it was isis who did it?
to be clear, i'm not asking whether you'd be against isis as a whole: just whether you'd be against isis ending the current israel-palestine situation peacefully
If they did that I'd be grateful to them. And if I had wheels I'd be a wagon.
Wagon dat azzz
so you agree that a group can do bad things, or even be on the whole bad by a very wide margin, but still do something good worthy of praise?
Yes? Is that supposed to be a gotcha?
it was a response to this, which in the context of the original post, has a sentiment that directly contradicts what you just agreed with
Acknowledging that a terrible organization has done something good doesn't mean I support them.
the meme never mentions supporting houthis, it says praising them
acknowledging somebody has done something good is praising them
hence "If isis starts attacking israel, that does not mean you need to support isis..." is a bad response
