You can support hamas at the level of their resistance to colonialism
How about supporting anti-colonialism without supporting murderers on either side. Seriously, you don’t need to latch onto bad people to fight bad people.
I don’t know who needs to read this affirmation out there but here we go, repeat after me:
Whats your great moral plan of action for the people dying in gaza?
You can say that pro-terrorist sentiment is bad without having all the answers for how to fucking solve the middle-east conflict that’s going on longer than either of us have been alive. This is a bad-faith response because you don’t know how to actually defend the idea and I won’t see another response from you. Go ahead and play to the crowd, maybe you’ll get an updoot.
edit: I find it absolutely fascinating how only in posts about Gaza/Israel, both on larger sites like reddit and here on lemmy, you can make a statement or appeal for peace and humanity that gets popular support immediately, but then as days stretch on, the same comment or post will continue to gain downvotes without any actual response or pushback, just like they’re on some kind of ticker… you know, spreading it out so automated bot-catchers don’t catch on.
You might almost think some wealthy superpowers are working to frame a narrative and control what people feel and think.

You would have condemned Nelson Mandela and the ANC
So your plan is
I dunno but not like that
Great thanks.
Good is good. Bad is bad.
No middle ground. No shades of grey. No nuance.
Turns out it’s a shit affirmation.
