    Same when people started calling Hamas “freedom fighters”.

    I refuse to believe these people are really tbh. Or they’re just mentally deranged vocal minority

      They are. Slave rebellions in the US ended up in situations where civilians were killed. That doesn’t change peoples view today that they were rightful today and that they were fighting for their freedom.

        Not even remotely the same thing. More apt comparison would be Iranian government or Putin or do you forget that Hamas brutally ruled Gaza for years?

        I’m sorry but that’s just idiotic. Gazans were terrorized by Hamas for years themselves. They’re not freedom fighters no matter how you look at it.

        Would you say Putin is a freedom fighter?

      They’re terrorists fighting a terrorist state. The problem here is the Palestinian people being caught in the middle and being used as human shields by both sides. And one side has a certain extra burn to it because they should know better than to just openly commit genocide. Even the Nazis hid it better. All Israel is doing is just murdering journalists. At least have some shame in your genocide, ya know?

          No, it’s an intentional genocide here, but neither side cares at all about the people being hurt the most. At all.

            No, you don’t care, and you’re projecting that onto others. Don’t try to tar others with your own callousness

            What? What’s even the point of these replies if you just spam me in bad faith. Go write a diary or something if you’re looking for an outlet

      It’s sad really, people who only see things in terms of black and white tribalism.

          Me pointing out people shouldn’t cheer an evil state because theyre fighting a different evil state is black and white tribalism?

            You were perfectly happy to cheer on Israel’s brutal attack on Iran just a day ago. I also remember you going extremely hard defending oligarch paediphile oligarch Bill Gates, and the genocide supporters of the US Democratic party. And I’m betting you’re not being to condemn people who celebrate the British Empire.

            Your black and white tribalism is literally that, you will always side with White Westerners.

            I’ve been saying this about people supporting the US for ages.

            US empire is a world historic evil so maybe supporting them or their proxies just because you don’t like their enemies is black and white tribalism?

            Incredible that people are protesting trump waving US flags, he’s the most American thing ever
