Hamas lies. It’s what they do. Im not letting Israel off the hook but the discussion is so one-sided it is ridiculous. They (Hamas) don’t give a flying fuck about the deaths of their own people just like Iran doesn’t either. Theyll happily sacrifice women and children and other innocents to the extent it gives them sympathetic PR in the western media, especially among the “de-colonizer” elite that makes up the majority of people like the DSA.

NYT: After Michigan Loss, AIPAC Weighs a Second Effort to Defeat El-Sayed The pro-Israel organization spent $32 million in an unsuccessful effort to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary. It might try again in the general election. (m) - By suede August 5, 2026 at 08:09:13 PM

  - Theyve done a fabulous job, along with Netanyahu, making ordinary people fucking hate them and, by associati8n undermined supprt for Israel. Helluva job, Brownie!* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 08:37:38 PM
    - Yes even setting aside the genocide I can hate them on just the American political support and funding. * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 08:44:09 PM
      - It’s not a fucking genocide. That is ridiculous. Words matter.* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 08:46:25 PM
        
        Ir is brutal force and killing many many many women and children without media or justice or consequences. * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 08:49:46 PM
        
        Yes, it is probably excessive. That doesn’t make it genocide. - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 08:54:25 PM
        
        I think it's clear that Netanyahu's decisions after the first few months post 10/7 were motivated by a cynical desire to cling to power and avoid scrutiny of how his government utterly failed in its mission to maintain security. (m) - By suede August 5, 2026 at 09:02:15 PM
        
        Agree with both of those contentions* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:04:03 PM

        I am sorry...i Have to weigh in here. Probably excessive?! Hmm. They lose *ANY* benefit of the doubt when they unilaterally prevent news coverage from what is going on.... - By Pal August 5, 2026 at 09:37:54 PM
        
        We can agree to disagree on things. But I find it interesting that many ppl who are offended by the term genocide simultaneously use words that in essence trivialize the atrocities being committed by Israel daily nearly 3 years later * - By Pal August 6, 2026 at 01:45:35 AM
        
        I think that takes a very charitable view of the actions of Hamas* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 10:06:11 PM
        
        yes no one is pro Hamas. * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:13:25 PM
        
        Yikes. You sound like Kurt. By any measure Gaza has been decimated (realizing western media is prohibited to report)*. - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:11:53 PM

        I have not accused anyone of supporting Hamas.* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:57:19 PM
        
        but you equate Gazans (women and children) as a non entity. You are building an argument of Israel’s vs Hamas. I do not think that is happening. Like Trump is building an argument against violent immigrants so all hands on deck * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 10:15:17 PM
        
        The women and children are caught between two warring parties. They are not a non-entity but they are far more beholden to the actions of Hamas than of Israel - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 11:00:50 PM
        
        No I am not pro Hamas. No I do not support their harm on the children of Gaza. I also do not believe scientific journals are getting facts from Hamas or the press is making up lies to make israel look bad * - By Cincywolve August 5, 2026 at 09:34:11 PM
        
        I’ve never accused of being pro-Hamas - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:55:16 PM
