Don’t worry, there’s more of what you would expect further down the thread.

You’re an irritating ass that spends way too much time on the internet.

This is LeftyMemes

I think this in paeticular does fit the comm, since it plays with the fucking over used braindead “Do you condemn Khamas?!!1!1!!1!”

• @alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com, moderator of the comm.

Also they are the main force in the united front of the Resistance against the occupation, which includes Palestinian communists (such as the PFLP whose logo is in the meme as well).

• Me, further explaining my reasoning.

Furthermore, it should not be surprising to you that leftists would be interested in opposition to colonialism in general. Groups in the imperial periphery don’t have to be “leftist” to do good work opposing colonialism which leftists should acknowledge and support.

You are praising Hamas for all kinds of things in the comments here.

[Citation Needed]

If Hamas was in power though I imagine they as an organization to do the same exact thing to Israelis

Projecting like a movie theater + “my source is that I made it the fuck up”.

If the post had said “do you oppose colonialism?” I of course would have said yes.

You literally said you do not support Hamas or “Israel”, by definition you do not oppose colonialism.

You’re lying to yourself buddy. Hamas is not a leftist organization by any means

I think the part where I claimed Hamas were socialists also happened in your mind palace, because it definitely didn’t happen in reality.

Would you have not supported (for example) the UK during WW2 because they weren’t “leftists”? What’s the difference between these two situations?

Yes, I commend Hamas for opposing colonialism.

commend /kə-mĕnd′/ transitive verb

1. To express approval of; praise: synonym: praise.

I praise Hamas for opposing colonialism.

Thanks, I’m glad you recognize the moral superiority of opposing colonialism.

Sounds good I will, enjoy supporting people for no real reason

Opposing colonialism = “no real reason” lmao.

who have also killed people using religion and hate to justify their actions

“My source is that I made it the fuck up.”

See. The point of this post is to create a false dichotomy. I hope you fucking wise up. I support the Palestinian people and most of all their poor children.

Enjoy the mind palace while the rest of us exist in reality, where Hamas are in fact the main resistance group and are in a united front with every other relevant resistance group.

I see where you’re coming from. I personally understand “commend” in this case to mean “acknowledge their resistance and give them credit for it” (which I see you do), but I understand what you’re saying, especially when sometimes people will see you agree with “commend” and then gladly use whatever definition they like and put it in your mouth.

Wow, you oppose both sides, the perpetrators and those who resist them. Would you like a medal to take back to your mind palace, where unlike in reality that opinion might actually mean anything?

But until israel has become wasrael, they’ll have my support.

Well… it sounds like you do commend Hamas for their resistance to the genocidal colonial occupation (complimentary, I mean this as a good thing, of course).

One of the several issues western shitlibs tend to suffer from is that they expect a perfect Netflix style resistance™. They don’t understand that resistance is an imperfect process done by flawed individuals who sometimes do bad. Yet through it all even a deeply flawed resistance is better than a genocidal occupation.

THANK YOU, you see it all over this very thread. It’s unbelievable (well, sadly believable, but it shouldn’t be) at this point in time that people who think of themselves as “leftists” would still behave this way.

So yes unironically I do support Hamas and I support every resistance group to imperialism regardless of how flawed they are because morality means nothing to the dead.

It’s literally just this simple and IMO all the pearl clutching people do to avoid saying this comes from a place of western chauvinism.

Bro, they are misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic, radical Islamist, fundamentalist terrorists. They are the exact opposite of every value leftist stand for.

“My source is that I made it the fuck up.”

You also don’t seem to understand the concepts of colonialism and resistance to colonialism. Opposing colonialism is a value every leftist should stand for.

No, I didn’t mean “both sides bad”, I meant that your comment literally only makes sense if you were talking about the “IDF” lmao.

Care to expand on that?

Have you ever heard the term “critical support”? Resistance doesn’t need to be perfect to be valid. Read “Perfect Victims” by Mohammed El-Kurd.

They pursue a deliberate strategy of killing and kidnapping civilians.

They “kidnap” civilians (among also many military members) in an attempt to do prisoner exchanges in response to a much more large-scale strategy of the same employed by “Israel”. Unlike “Israel” they are working with few resources and very little intelligence data, so it’s not surprising their actions aren’t always surgically precise (whereas “Israel”, of course, constantly target civilians deliberately).

And their disastrous political and military strategy was a large contributor to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Gazans over the past several years.

Literally victim blaming, lol. You’re not only assuming that they could have predicted the exact course of events (including the scale of their success in Al-Aqsa flood and the scale of the “Israeli” response), but softly absolving the actual perpetrators of much of the blame. There is one and only one party responsible for this and for all other violence within Palestine since 1948. That’s what colonialism is.

I usually try not to criticize them because such criticisms are being used to justify genocide

Yeah, they are.

Hamas are responsible for the worst killing of Jews since the Holocaust.

Damn, I didn’t realize the 1976 right-wing military coup in Argentina (the actual largest massacre of Jews since the holocaust, committed by people who “Israel” continued to arm before, during, and after) was Hamas.

Excellent comment about the “IDF”, but I’m not sure what it has to do with anything I said.

If that’s your impression of what Hamas is, you are either severely misinformed or you harbor racial/religious bias. I’m assuming it’s the former, so I will let you know that that is not an accurate description of Hamas. If you are interested in finding out more about them, you should read their updated charter from 2017.

Also they are the main force in the united front of the Resistance against the occupation, which includes Palestinian communists (such as the PFLP whose logo is in the meme as well).
