The thingis that often siding with the people in Gaza who are living in hell rightnow is intentionally misunderstood as siding with Hamas.

oh 100%!

and there are so many disingenuous arguments going around like “they voted for hamas! fuck around and find out!”… well, if you think that then you don’t get to complain about american politics (as most people do): https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/11/01/majority-palestinians-gaza-elect-hamas/

they voted for hamas…

The fact that a lot of people ignore that the Palestinians fought a civil war precisely to not have Hamas in power and lost Gaza to a Hamas takeover after the last election (2006) tells you that the zionist propaganda engines are well oiled and working.

Plus, that there was a protest against Hamas before the pandemic that had to be forcibly suppressed.

Maybe in the future, the citizenry should kill religious extremists that take over their government instead of just protest? I could think of a few places that might be warranted right now to curtail future violence. I just can't legally give a good example right now.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Top tier victim blaming.

Lol, if they don't like their violent autocratic dictatorship, why don't they just don't.

Who's doing that? I think people universally are against baby killing, but some feel there is no other option to root out combatants using them as human shields.

We can disagree but we aren't being shot at or have boots on the ground.
