Haven’t surveys shown that a majority of Palestinians support Hamas?

[–] commiewithoutorgans@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Yes, we must understand that not only do Gazan Palestinians as a majority support Hamas, but Hamas is a force for good and they are correct for doing so. Sure, after decolonization, start fighting for a better representative, but for now Hamas is the best shot they have at not being genocided.

This same framework is used every time there is a broad movement which chooses, with good reason, for a strong group which can accomplish their goals. "Socialism is fine but Stalin did it bad" but then the purity fetish prevents the original goal from ever being achieved. Don't bother convincing people socialism is good but Stalin bad. No Stalin is good and so I socialism.

You should go to the olympic games in paris next year, you could probably win a lot of gold medals with these mind gymnastics

You should read a goddamn book about any of these topics or begone ye LIB

Edit: ah shit I'm outside of Hexbear. Ok then let's engage a bit here. What about these things seems contradictory to you? That there is an active genocide for about 100 years in Palestine or that Stalin is good?

How are they not the best chance they have at not being genocided? They're the only ones fighting to make it not happen lol.
