Hamas has begun cracking down on Gazans who participated in recent protests against the group’s rule, executing six people and publicly beating others, according to Palestinian activists and residents.

just a reminder for anyone who says being pro-Palestine is being pro-hamas. Palestinians want to be free and to not be killed. this genocide is not about hamas. hamas is a pretext and a justification. the genocide is really about hate
Your comment might carry more weight if this thread wasn’t full of people being outraged and claiming that anything that suggests Hamas aren’t good guys must be “zionist propaganda”.
You may not support Hamas, but maybe ask the people in this thread that are clearly pro-Hamas whether or not they consider themselves to be pro-Palestine.
The contents of this thread suggests there are a lot of people that are part of the pro-Palestine movement are indeed pro-Hamas. And there is little push-back within the pro-Palestine movement for people that take pro-Hamas and even anti-semitic stances. Anyone who does gets labelled a zionist and gets harassed and threatened.
Sure not everyone in the pro-Palestinian movement are pro-Hamas, but Hamas is a significant part of that movement. And when you have violent extremists in a movement, they are the ones that control the movement, not the pacifists. Because as we can see, the violent elements of a movement are willing to kill the pacifists if they speak against them.
I agree. Almost no one is pro-Hamas. They are definitely evil.
Still, doesn’t justify starving kids, bombing kids and withholding medicine which forces doctors to amputate kids without anaesthesia.
I’m anti Hamas as I’m anti IDF. Both for Oct 7th and the 16 month collective punishment / cleansing and settlement.
Hamas is a reaction to evil.
Hamas is an exploitation of reactions to evil.
Hamas is not evil dawg lmao I would be hamas if the shit happened here. Any reasonable person would take up arms in defense of their land whether they agree with the organization fully or not.
If American bombs destroyed your entire neighborhood and killed your entire family along with all your neighbors and everyone you went to school with you would rightfully seek out a way to fight the party responsible.
It’s disingenuous to call hamas evil. Israel broke a ceasefire, killed 500 people(mostly children), kidnapped rescue workers and executed them, and has refused to allow aid into Gaza for over a month. That is evil. Any resistance to that in any form is just and righteous.
To call it evil is covering up Israel’s decades long war crimes against Palestinians. A hundred thousand deaths on Israel’s bloody hands? That is evil. Reducing an entire civilization to rubble for giving you a well deserved black eye after 70 years of oppression and apartheid is evil. Any evil you percieve from hamas is an in-kind response.
Resisting is human nature.
Stop playing their game.
Any time you feel tempted to condemn hamas, condemn Israel for propping them up and creating the conditions for Oct. 7th. Anything less is giving them cover to continue this genocide. If hamas is evil then killing all Palestinians is rational and necessary. You are unwittingly manufacturing consent for genocide when you do this.
