  • Sadly there aren’t “good guys” and “bad guys” in real life. Just people and their actions, for which they must answer.

    Being part of the oppressed group doesn’t make Hamas free from criticism and judgement.

    There are Palestinian groups working for peaceful solutions.

    There’s also a far right terror group that decided to carry out a random attack on Israeli civilians that was instated by the Israeli government and rules through fear.

    One group isn’t good just because another is bad. Figure it out


  • War crimes War crimes include torture, mutilation, corporal punishment, hostage taking and acts of terrorism. This category also covers violations of human dignity such as rape and forced prostitution, looting and execution without trial.

    Crimes against humanity

    Crimes against humanity are acts committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, such as murder, deportation, torture and rape.

    I’m not interested in your whataboutism. War crimes are war crimes whether it’s oppressor or oppressee.


  • Armed struggle against foreign occupation usually doesn’t involve shooting up music festivals AFAIK. Both sides are in serious breach of international law and it’s kinda important to recognize that.

    Yes I understand the power dynamics and history. No that doesn’t make Hamas equal to the Palestinian people or make them symbolic of their struggle in any way. Hamas was literally brought to power by Netanyahu so that they’d do something like this so that Israel could eventually displace all of Gaza and the rest of the Palestinians.

    It’s like if Ukraine decided to bomb a Russian music festival near the border before Russia invaded and committed dozens of war crimes. They still did a war crime too that cannot be overlooked.

    This is terrifyingly similar to the denial of the Kosavan genocide by leftists just because the government that did it was the last communist one in Europe. (Looking at you, Chomsky)
