Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Man, I'm not pro-Israel. I'm not even pro-Palestinian pacifism. I've gotten accused of antisemitism numerous times in the past because of my vitriol against the state of Israel and its apartheid regime.
In any case, Hamas are a bunch of shitheads, and this attack was just another data point on it. Collateral damage I understand - but there's no excuse for targeting random civilians. Of course, Hamas doubtlessly knew it would escalate things - how better to continue the conflict which keeps them so entrenched? And of course, what a boon to the Israeli far-right it is as well.
What a shitshow.
if anything, Hamas has done us the favor of NOT considering their side with these warcrimes. Palestine/Gaza needs to find new leadership, these fucks saw the warcrimes in Ukraine by russia and said "ooh let's try that, it'll win friends!"
the only friends they're winning over are Iran and Russia.
Fuckwits.
All apologies if it sounded like I was painting you as something you weren't. That was not at all my intention. It sounds like we're both on pretty much the same page. Shitshow, indeed.
