Condemn the Israeli government and IDF for the monsters they are, and support the Palestinians for the victims they are.
But you don’t need to glorify hamas.
The Palestinians have a right to defend their land, but the organization that came in to organize the defenders happens to be a problematic one.That said, it’s a tough spot because there isn’t really a good way to materially support the defenders without also supporting Hamas, and the defenders absolutely need support.
I aint gonna say I support Hamas but under international law, Palestinians have all and any means available to them to fight Israeli occupation and genocide.
Israel is a disgusting abomination that destroyed rules based international order US tried building.
I hope Israel was worth it, dear “leaders”
Full support to the comrades in the PFLP, kicking ass even after no longer having the USSR to support them.
Hamas wouldn’t kill me because I’d be killed by an Israeli sniper for daring to be there
what if the answer is that hamas and israel are assholes?
Equal condemnation for unequal sin minimizes the greater and exaggerates the lesser. That ceases to be an answer and becomes a cover for genocidal fascists against a national liberation movement.

No, this is just chavuanism. Israel is genocidal because it is founded on settler-colonialism, it isn’t an intrinsic racial issue.
Close your eyes and pretend hamas has the US’s arsenal. What happens in the next few months or so?
Why bother engaging in impossible hypotheticals?
You’re saying Israel is genocidal but hamas isn’t. They simply don’t have the means. Yes, Israel is the bad guy, but by their decades of settler colonialism have cultivated a group literally dedicated to their eradication. Fighting a bad guy doesn’t automatically make you a good guy. They’re just less awful by comparison.
National liberation against settler-colonial genocide is a good thing.
Hamas might be genocidal.
Israel is genocidal.I’m not gonna go so far as to say Hamas are good guys, but treat people according to what they have done and not what they may do. They’re not currently on the same level.
That is true, but hamas has a far better reason to be an asshole. If I were in their situation, I wouldn’t be the most agreeable person either. My hope is that if their impending doom is eliminated, their more problematic behavior would go with it.
