    Do you like this group of people? If yes, freedom fighters; if not, terrorists

    Do you like this state? If yes, government; if not, regime.

      I don’t like Hamas. They are nothing more than bigoted murderers. But they are created from a system of hate. This isn’t an argument of viewpoint. It’s just facts

        What’s bigoted about them? They want to kill their oppressors they don’t care about race or religion.

            There’s a church in Gaza full of CHRISTIANS that was shot by who again two days ago? Was it Hamas? Oh no it was the IDF!

            Because Hamas fights against oppressive Nazis not people of a different religion.

              Because the IDF commits war crimes Hamas is not a theocratic dictatorial regime? How did you manage to infer the one from the other?

              I’ll readily grant Hamas that it doesn’t oppress Christians more than it oppresses Muslims. They’re still oppressors, though.

                When you call the guys committing literal genocide and the Americans backing them the “freedom fighters defending human rights” and the natives resisting genocide “the bigoted oppressors”.

                    Reminder that while abortions laws are very strict in Gaza, women with medical emergencies can actually get abortion!

                    So is Hamas now less bigoted than the US? Did the Allies have their LGBTQIA+ rights in order before they decided to fight the Nazi’s

                    Your whataboutism is irrelevant they are being oppressed by a genocidal regime.

                    The only reason Hamas is in power in the first place is because the population wants to resist genocide. Else a more moderate government would have been in place for a long time now.
