Why would I support violent nationalist militants propped up by Netanyahu?? It's time to move on from controlled opposition if you want to be a real leftist.

...Wait, sorry I didn't get the memo on which hamas narrative we were pushing today

Calling an armed militant group that gets blown up daily “controlled opposition” is some of the most pathetic leftist larping I’ve ever seen in my life.

Calling them “violent” is the liberal cherry on top 🤣

Americans deserve everything they’re getting right now.

Why would I support any group who's resistance looks like a rounding error?

Well at least the had that bump of resistance on Oct 7. Oh wait sorry, I forgot that that was actually a false flag and Israel allowed it to happen or shot their own civilians or whatever. So I guess you can scratch that off for them.

Well let's just look farther back, I'm sure they were fighting the good fight since they took over in 2007

Oh... Hmm... That's... Unfortunate... Seems like their resistance hasn't been doing much against their oppressors.

And sure their popularity is currently plummeting within Gaza itself, but I'm sure that will turn around once everyone is dead. Palestinians will be scrambling to hop right back on the bandwagon. They just need more Critical Support and everything will turn out great! Here's to 20 more years of progress! 🍻
