Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I dare you to go read their current charter. Not the one from the 80s.

Do you want the section where they declare their dedication to violence? Or perhaps the section where they use "from the river to the sea" as an explicit call for genocide?

The charter was toned down. Instead of saying they want to kill all Jews, now they only want to kill all the Jews living in Israel.

But their leaders say it best: we will repeat October 7th until Israel is destroyed.

Calling for Israel to be destroyed is not antisemititic, it’s antizionist.

How about this section?

  1. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

I'm sorry that you're so down with colonialism that resistance groups fighting against oppression make you so uncomfortable. You're whining about "Hamas calling for the genocide of Jews" yet you're watching the supposed "Jewish homeland" (read: Jewish ethnostate) commit genocide on the people of Gaza. This to me says that you care only about Jewish life and very little or not at all about Palestinian life. You're a racist, as all true Zionists are.
