Hamas is a dictatorship, they have not allowed an election in near 20 years, and they do not hesitate to endanger the people of palestine intentionally to further their cause. You can condemn the Israeli government and their actions while also condemning hamas, it's not a fucking sport where you pick sides and cheer for a team.

But that's a tangent. You did that to the person before me too, just picking out a small section of a comment and responding to that as though everything else said wasn't there.

I acknowledge the horrific things comitted by Israel towards palestine and palestinians. But i'm sorry, i find it a bit too hard a pill to swallow to cheer the other force intent on genocide launching rockets indiscriminately into civilians. Just as horrific a thought as cheering the IDF levelling another apartment building, no?

Do you think that if Hamas were to win that you would feel good supporting the genocide that would follow?

You're jist buying into a political bandwagon. Support condemning the idfs actions and sanctions on israel for stolen land. But dont fucking cheer mindless violence. And its ok to acknowledge that everything isnt black and white. Somebody telling you not to support hamas isnt telling you that the people of palestine deserve death and misery.

The fact that a cause is just does not make all of its participants good.

Nobody said Hamas was any good. If there was anything good about them, Israel would not have funded them back in the late 80s.

while also condemning hamas

Again... who else is there that is willing to fight Israel? Superman? Captain Planet? You?

Get this through your head, liberal - people undergoing brutal colonization does not have the luxury of adhering to your limp-wristed armchair pearl-clutching. If you are going to condemn them for resisting, you might just as well take off your mask and join the pro-colonialism side - you're not all that far removed from them ideologically, anyway.
