Thank you for being one if the few that rip into Hamas at the same time as calling Israel out. I disagree on downvoting them as they contributed to the conversation, but points don't matter.
On point 1, outside of a few extremists I don't think anyone considers all of Palestine to be a part of Hamas - its just how we talk.
America isn't becoming a backwards, puritan and corrupt country - the Republicans are and they held the power. But we don't say that, we just say America is turning to shit. China doesn't have aggressive expansionist goals, the CCP does. Russia isn't a warmongering state, Putin and his running party are.
I think if you're going to criticize Hamas you also need to point out that their extremist views were funded by the state of Isreal not only to create the conditions to justify their genocide but also to push out moderate leadership within Palestine.
Because God forbid anyone in this conflict be held responsible for their own actions, rather than blaming everything on who came before them.
You know what, maybe don't steal people's land and murder them and they won't have to defend themselves?
Quick question- going back as far as we currently know - is the land you are living on right now stolen from someone?
