    That is absolute nonsense.

    What people don’t do is feel the need to criticize Hamas every time Israel is criticized.

      It’s always the same disingenuous bullshit. I’d wager most people on here couldn’t care less about Hamas. All Hamas members could drop dead right now and I wouldn’t lose a second of sleep.

      But somehow we’re all Hamas supporters because we don’t put a “I hate Hamas”-disclaimer above every comment about Israel. It’s so terribly low-effort and transparent.

        Me: I don’t want to see children and civilians dying over this war.

        “What about children and civilians in Israel?”

        I said ‘children and civilans’. I don’t want to see any such people die. I did not qualify with a nationality.

        “Yeah, but you didn’t say ‘Israel’.”

        I don’t need to. I don’t care where a person is born, or what’s on their passport. I just don’t want them being killed. I want to stop seeing innocent people killed.

        “You think people who support Hamas are innocent?”

         

        There’s no winning, I’m afraid.

        It’s a standard Fascist trope to claim that “those who aren’t with us are against us” and Zionists are hard-Fascists, only beaten by the Nazis.

        So of course they constantly, relentlessly, mindlessly use that trope by, amongst others, accusing those who criticize the Zionist Genocide of supporting those they claim are their enemies (which, funnilly enough, they actually financed), Hamas.

        If you pay attention to Zionist arguments, every single one of them is a propaganda trick out of Himmler’s little book of tricks.

      I see a lot of Hamas criticism in threads about Israel. I can’t remember the last time I saw a post about Hamas though.

        So make one. Problem solved.

        But mainly, you don’t see posts about Hamas because they main thing they’re doing right now is dying and that isn’t exactly news.
