And some online loons, but yes.

Nah I'm fine with backing Hamas in this case, it doesn't mean I'm home with entering they've done or do but I can say that for literally every country including my own.

I don't think there is any world or any set of circumstances that would have me backing terrorists, but you do you I guess.

The ANC? Partisans during WW2? The Warsaw ghetto uprising? The American founding fathers? John Brown?

People like you who unquestioningly side with oppressors are worse than any terrorist.

When did I say anything positive about the Israeli government?

You are just looking to fight on the internet aren't you?

"When did I say anything positive about the apartheid government? All I said was that Mandela and the ANC are evil terrorists who should be condemned!"

Pretty sure he was referring to Hamas.

You get that Israel was created by terrorists correct? It's like a very perfect pot kettle situation.

It is though. They're both terrorist states that opportunistically attack each other but one thing is factually different Israel has killed more civilians even before the festival attack and subsequent "self defense" ethnic cleansing.

Funny how you immediately assumed I approve of the actions of the Israeli government. Even more funny: given the choice between which baby killers to back you pick a side. I'm against killing babies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't at all do that, I simply mentioned the other combatant. Everyone picks a side, I might just be more honest about that than most.

Just pretend that Hamas are AZOV and that instead of Islamic hardliners trying to reclaim their country, they're neonazi hardliners trying to reclaim their country. I'm guessing you'll suddenly lose your aversion to picking a side.

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

I don't care who they are or what they claim to stand for, you kill babies you're a bad guy and I won't be picking your side.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, you're lying; you absolutely don't apply that standard to the Russia/Ukraine conflict, let alone to something like WW2 (a lot of dead babies in Hiroshima)

Also, let's see your evidence of Hamas killing babies.
