Technically, Hamas aren't Palestinian in origin to begin with, they're from a group that once controlled Egypt and their power over Gaza Strip was maintained by the Israeli Government via various means including directly being funded by them and neighboring nations. So, it isn't their people. The don't give a fuck if Palestine faces genocide, never have.

This MF thinks Hamas is an ethnicity.

Nah bro Hamas is an organization. From Egypt.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol, in the same way the Democratic Party is an organisation from Greece.

If Greece sent radicalized people to the USA and created an explicitly radical Greek organization a few decades ago and somewhere inbetween they changed their name, then yes it would be exactly like that.

Lol. Alright man; the government of Palestine, which is made of Palestinians, led by Palestinians, andbased and operated in Palestine, is actually Egyptian. Makes sense, and doesn't at all come across as a weak conspiracy to justify the further oppression of Palestine.

That's like saying any socialist country is necessarily Prussian

The Society of Muslim Brothers who controlled Egypt in the late 60s formed a charity in Gaza Strip in 1973 called Mujama al-Islamiya Islamic who then became known as Hamas in 1987.

You're an absolute idiot if you think those two organizations are completely unrelated.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No one said they are unrelated.

That’s like saying any socialist country is necessarily Prussian

So you legitimately think every socialist country is essentially directly caused by Prussians? That's your take?

I would suggest you read it again.

No thanks. I have better things to do than play your game

Then you shouldn't reply to my comments in the first place. I never said a thing to you first.

The Society of the Muslim Brothers first founded in Egypt in 1928 was able to establish in the neighboring nation in 1973 as Mujama al-Islamiya Islamic charity affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which later became Hamas in name in 1987. They also were the most prominent political group in Egypt from 1967 until 2013, when their president over Egypt was overthrown.

Hamas is from Suuni Islamist Egypt, for Suuni Islamist Egypt.

Yeah but that doesn't support your claim.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My claim is that Hamas' Origins were outside of Palestine, that Hamas doesn't give a fuck about Palestinian Genocide. I gave you a concise uncontested timeline of their formation. Maybe you're just too stupid to get it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If that was your claim then you phrased it quite poorly. You said they aren't Palestinian in origin, which is blatantly false. I reocmment you rephrase your original comment so that the rest of us stop misunderstanding you.
