Early this summer, Amin Abed, a Palestinian activist who has spoken out publicly about Hamas, twice found bullets on his doorstep in northern Gaza.

Then in July, he said he was attacked by Hamas security operatives, who covered his head and dragged him away before repeatedly striking him with hammers and metal bars.

“At any moment, I can be killed by the Israeli occupation, but I can face the same fate at the hands of those who’ve been ruling us for 17 years,” he said in a phone interview from his hospital bed, referring to Hamas. “They almost killed me, those killers and criminals.”

The unfortunate fact is that Hamas's brutality is rightly put on the back burner until Israel's current level of genocide is no longer killing hundreds of people per day.

It’s likely that if Israel stops and leaves Palestinians alone (including not meddling in their politics!); hamas will get taken care of by Palestinians themselves.

Israel’s actions are what gave hamas power (funding during the last election, a decade or two ago,) and what keep them in power (genocide.)

Whoever's running the vote manipulation bots doesn't like this post:

I normally don't concern myself with such pettiness, but someone is clearly doing this with an agenda and thinks they're operating in the shadows. So just trying to add some context to the downvotes where I can.

Update: Lol, they just spun up https://ttrpg.network/u/umwagkpn to give it another downvote.

Update 2: https://lemdro.id/u/dybyzgnn spun up and tagging in.

Update 3: https://lemmy.cafe/u/evtmowdq reporting for duty 🫡

Thanks for the heads up!

Well at least it gives us some idea of their politics.

How Artificial Zionist State (aka Israel) uses brutality to maintain power?

[–] Omegamanthethird 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's okay to hate both terrorist organizations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

It’s also okay to hate the one actively engaging in genocide even more.

[–] AshMan85 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You mean Isreal. You know, the same Isreal that launched a genocide against innocent civilians.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just because Isreal are bad guys, does not make Hamas good guys.

That's the worst part for the Palestinian people - no matter who wins the conflict, they lose.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'm gonna keep repeating this.

There are no good guys in this fight.

There are only sides.

You can choose a side, but you have to realize that that side has done terrible things to innocent people for terrible reasons.
