Free Palestinians from Hamas

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hamas and Israel are two sides of the same coin. Hamas knew exactly what the demented Israeli government would do, and they knew it would bring sympathy to their cause. Israel walked into the trap because they are also consumed with ethnic hatred. There is plenty of evidence that Israel even supported Hamas just to get them an excuse for a genocide.

The Netanyahu government, yes.

Unfortunately, it's not just the government. There are mobs preventing aid from getting in, and almost half the country supports what's happening in Gaza.

True. And it's also true that some Palestinians are allied with the Hamas terrorists. Also unfortunate. The victims are Israeli and Palestinian civilians.

Free yourself from propaganda

[–] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm free. That's why I am able to see that Hamas are terrorists.

Hamas is not Palestine as Israel is not all Jews.

Hamas is a cancer that must go for peace to have a chance

The people fighting to defend Palestinians from their imminent ethnic cleansing are a "cancer", but the same is not said for the occupying nation committing the cleansing.

Interesting!
