Both suck to be fair but Israel for me suck less. My reasoning mostly stem on their Ideology. Israel leans more to the US. Israel though recently leaning more to the extreme right, is still liberal compared to the rest of the nations in middle east. Woman has more freedom under Israel it seems. LGBT is more supported in Israel. For Hamas on the other hand has the same vibe for me with Taliban it doesn't help that it is supported by Iran and Russia. As for Ukraine I support them since they lean more to the West (EU and the US) and they are more democratic than Russia. That's my thought anyway.

So you support Israel committing genocide in Palestine because they lean west. Way to go lil bro

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

No surprise, given that genocide is the foundation of the western civilization.

Curious, Tell me why should I support the Hamas instead?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should not. But you should see the conditions under which Hamas has formed and how the Occupiers are at fault for this. The greater Palestinian cause is far more in the moral right than Israel has ever been.

Thanks appreciate the answer.

"I support the fascistsdoing a genocide because they're aligned with us and do our bidding" is the kind of honesty we're looking for from liberals on foreign policy.

Genuinely, thank you for your honesty. Can you please tell the rest of the libs to communicate like this and we wouldn't be as mean to them.

To be fair that is what both sides are doing China, Russia, US, EU, India and Iran. They all support those who do their bidding. Though I have a feeling everything is fascist on your dictionary that does not align with your view.

Counterpoint: aligning with the west/the US is bad.

Counter-counterpoint : alternative is WAY worse. Unless you count EU as dissimilar to US?
