I don’t think any right-thinking person has any sympathy for Hamas, and rightly so.
However, Palestinians are not automatically members of Hamas. This would be like saying you’re “done with” Americans and we should bomb every major American city because of the actions of the Proud Boys and other right-wing militias.
The support for hamas is 57% in palestine, Islamic Jihad has 71% support, people with Palestinian background are celebrating the executions, the rapes, and the murder of children on the streets in the western world even.
A more reasonable comparison would be to feel completely done with USA because of the republicans or democrats, but not even that compares since the support of both parties actually are lower than that of Hamas or Islamic Jihad in Palestine
Just a few things thats come up in Sweden in “support of palestine” after the 7th october attack.
Big number of cars driving up and down the streets honking and waving flags hours after the terrorist attack. In the comments people are discussing how big this demonstration was, and how several streets were completely shut off, aswell as some Danish commenters explaining how it was the same in Copenhagen.
The most important part of this is the support level. I have 2 points about this. First is that 43% of Palestinians in Gaza that don’t support Hamas are entitled to not be blown up or displaced, the second is that out of those 57% there’s a big difference between material support and just ticking a box in a poll. Does someone who says “Hitler did nothing wrong” deserve execution? I would argue they should be deplatformed, but not starved, tortured, shot and/or bombed.
People will support anyone who fights their oppressors, whether the means used are moral or not. Since oppression and killing are immoral as well.
The support for hamas is 57% in palestine, Islamic Jihad has 71% support, people with Palestinian background are celebrating the executions, the rapes, and the murder of children on the streets in the western world even.
Holy shit, way to misrepresent an article. I urge anyone who thinks the above commenter had a good point to click through and at least read the headline of the article.
Lost any sympathy with Palestinians
In other words… your sympathies always lay with the white supremacist settler-colonialist project and not their victims.
How is Israel a white supremacist settler-colonist? Do you know anything about Israel?
I guess you thought it a complete coincidence that all of Israel’s traditional supporters were countries that all had deep histories of white supremacism, antisemitism and colonialism, eh? France, Germany, the UK, Australia, Canada, Apartheid-era South Africa and, of course, the US - just a complete coincidence, right?
Israel has never been anything else.
Last drop in the bucket was how they dug up the water pipes that europe paid for, to make rockets out of them.
Ah yes, silly of me to be against humanitarian aid to be dug up and used as weapons by a terrorist group, extra silly since that terrorist group and their actions have a majority supported by their population.
