Whatever you have been told about Hamas is almost certainly false. Zionists lie all the time and they conjured Hamas into a such a ridiculous boogeyman to scare the populace into compliance that when you compare the "Hamas" the israelis believe in and Hamas the way they are you begin to wonder where they even came up with this stuff. It's not just really far away from reality, it's complete fiction. Made up. Not even based on anything that has happened. Like usually with this kind of propaganda there is some story or kernel of truth that got blown up, distorted, twisted and ripped out of context, but with Hamas it's just straight fiction and atrocity porn.
I e been told they attacked innocent people on October 3rd 2023, was that made up?
They took innocent citizens from their armoured tanks :(
That accusation could not be more vague lol. I assume you mean october 7 and counter with that the IOF also killed a lot of "innocents" on that day. Probably more, they were firing indiscriminately at all the cars going towards gaza. They ordered helicopters to just empty their ammo by the hannibal doctrine. I mean it's a war, not a war the palestinians started mind you, they're the defensive party. Whatever death occurs is first to be blamed on the zionists who instigated it and who are keeping the native population in concentration camps and ghettos. Whatever mistakes hamas may have made, you have to weigh against what pissrael does. And since hamas is the only movement resisting the genocide it's that or no resistance at all. Who would you rather see prevail hamas or the IOF?
Personally I'd like to see Israel drop their weapons and leave Gaza and all occupied territories, Lebanon, let Palestinians exist and give full israeli citizenship to those who'd want it.
When you have people with rocks and sticks in a fight with a high tech military, I tend to take the side of those with the sticks. That doesn't mean I support everything Hamas is doing, and that everything we hear about Hamas is misinformation.
I draw the line at killing civilians. Hamas does it as well as Israel.
I think you can be pro Palestine without condoning the death of civilians. If Europe and the US stopped supporting what Israel has been doing for the last 60 years, there might be a chance for a Palestinian state. For this to happen, politicians need to speak up: this is what Platner did, so I think it's a good thing.
