On Wednesday, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights published a report alleging that Israeli forces carried out a mass execution of civilians in Northern Gaza, separating 11 men from their families and summarily shooting them.
Calling Hamas a resistance faction is like calling the Klan an equal rights organization.
When mass demonstrations break out under your rule under the tag “Bedna Na3iish!”, or, “WE WANT TO LIVE!”, you are not an organization acting in the interests of those people.
These monsters are literally the ones who caused the Arab Spring remix of “I can’t breathe!” to happen, calling them the resistance to Israel instead of the equal partner to the oppression of the Palestinian people they are is offensive to the nth degree and reeks of redwashed white savior westsplaining.
Was Native American raids on “Settlements” terrorism? Was Nat Turner’s rebellion terrorism?
Hamas is evil and the acts they have done are evil. But they weren’t created in a vacuum. Peace and a one or two state solution needs to be agreed apone by all with a right to self determination for the cycle of evil to stop.
Do you like this group of people? If yes, freedom fighters; if not, terrorists
Do you like this state? If yes, government; if not, regime.
I bet you’d call the Viet Cong terrorists during the Vietnam war too lol.
This is similar to that in some regards too; similar guerilla tactics, and they’re also fighting to drive away an occupying force and reunify their country.
Their attack on Oct 7 was brutal, but it’s nothing compared to the shit Israel has been repeatedly doing for the last half century.
You know it’s whitesplaining because their response to the Palestinian telling them to stop lionizing Hamas is to admit that all PoC militant groups look the same to them
