Hamas is the government of Gaza
Sure. When’s the last time they’ve allowed elections to occur, though? Dictating that you’re the government isn’t something someone who cares about their people does.
Calling them terrorists is using racial “Israeli” propaganda directed at all Palestinians
Nope. You can clearly see I differentiated Hamas from Palestinians. Yes, the Israelis look at all Palestinians as Hamas, as do many people in the West, but I’m not Israeli nor do I care what they think - so what they think doesn’t matter. There’s no Israeli propaganda in my comment, that’s your assumption based on…?
If your entire argument boils down to “Well you’re saying the same stuff as Israel is so you’re just spreading propaganda” then maybe you don’t have thoughts of your own, it’s all just the opposite of what Israel says. Israel is a terrorist state but that doesn’t mean every single thing they say is wrong. Hamas are terrorists, plain and simple. They invoke fear through violence.
Please educate yourself before sharing opinions
Let me know of all the benefits Hamas has brought to the Palestinian people and educate me. Nothing you wrote was educational or convincing. Hamas are still terrorists who are holding their own people hostage.
Sure, we can agree on that depending on your definition of evil people. To target civilians indiscriminately is not a good thing, though. It’s bad when the IDF does it and it’s bad when Hamas does it. Resistance is not killing random people because of where they live, that’s terrorism. Resistance is fighting your oppressors.
I very much doubt that Hamas hand picked their targets on Oct 7. I doubt that those who died, or were taken hostage, were all evil people hellbent on eradicating Palestinians. They died and were taken hostage simply because of where they were at the time.
Especially when you realize that March 15 is a Saturday.
No doubt this was organized by a Monday-Friday worker who would face no repercussions for this. It just screams “I want to do something without sacrificing anything” while expecting those working weekends to likely sacrifice their jobs and stability. Most people work Monday to Friday. Do it during the week for maximum effect.
I support the idea behind it but until people stop waiting for others to make the sacrifice nobody is mobilising. Even then it’ll be hard to convince people. If somebody wants others to make a sacrifice and stand behind the cause then they should be setting the example and making that sacrifice first. I haven’t really been seeing that.
Hi, I don’t think it’s crazy to think the CCP owns (or rather controls) it, but I don’t think it even matters. They’ve clearly chosen to operate a certain way.
Big tech companies (fuck you Reddit) and governments will shout about the CCP and how nobody can trust that their privacy is respected on Chinese platforms (not disputing this), or how they censor dissenting speech, but then you see how those same invasive measures are implemented in a more subtle way on non-Chinese platforms.
I have an easier time imagining that it’s just lessons learned from the CCP and others regardless of the organization’s (fuck you Reddit) nationality. It’s a matter of money, or power, or both, because they (fuck you Reddit) have no values and will bend the knee to authoritarians so that they can operate in those countries and feed off of their people too.
