I’m a child of a country colonized so many times they can’t be counted, which is currently in a state of war and deprivation due to ongoing colonial influence. I too was indoctrinated into this narrative lens at an early age, and know its merits and limits. The difference between us is that I have that perspective and more thanks to travel, study, thought, and friendships around the world. You on the other hand cling to it as a point of personal heritage because you enjoy the sensation of absolute righteousness. And that last part is why you’re impervious to discussion here. If your worldview doesn’t allow for critique of Hamas then you really are lost.

And you say this based on what ? I do travel, have friends from all around the world and of different religions thanks to being polyglot. My field of study is language didactics and do programming as a hobby. You aren't special.

What ? My points are based on the real history of my own country. Delegitimizing the fight for freedom is the first thing the colonizer did. Bringing / coercing someone influential to delegitimize the freedom fighters was done repeatedly. Hamas are palestine freedom fighters. When palestine is free, Palestinians will choose how to handle hamas which consist of broken mens who lost their children and wives or orphans, survivors of isreali strikes.

Freedom fighters will do what they need to do to free their country. My country freedom fighters weren't saint since forcing freedom from the colonizer require doing a nasty things you may call WAR and now thanks to them we are free.

Tldr; acting like both sides are horrible when one side is literally commiting genocide toward the other isn't a good take.
