    ANY Documentary that shows Bibi in a Negative light or those HAMAS BABIES in a Positive light is ANTISEMITIC!

      HAMAS is still a terrorist group that wants the destruction of Israel and its citizens, often invoking religious imagery and themes concerning such. Let’s not pretend there’s good guys in this situation, whether or not you believe in the idea of HAMAS as freedom fighters.

      For example, the founding charter contains lines like this: The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,’ except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews.

      There’s no room for religious extremism in a leftist worldview regardless of who the extremist is.

        No they’re not the good guys, but it’s also important to understand radicalization doesn’t manifest out of thin air. Like a child who suffers abuse and abuse and abuse, there can often come a breaking point, whether that’s suicidal or homicidal ideation. Oxford shooter comes to mind. Radicalization/terrorism is effectively this at a larger collective scale. People don’t just suddenly wake up one day wanting to murder a bunch of civilians. Such animosity is trans-generational and deeply rooted.

        What are some of the ingredients to radicalization?

        • Lack of opportunity. (infrastructure in rubble)
        • Lack of education. (schools now in rubble.)
        • A deep feeling of being oppressed or a perceived injustice unresolved. (lack of free travel, blockades, territorial annexation)
        • Pure desperation or loss of all hope. (orphans, parents who lost their kids).

        That isn’t to excuse it, but to understand it and hint at solutions.

        Ultimately religion to paraphrase Seneca is a source of hope for the downtrodden, a tool for the powerful, and an excuse for the wicked. It’s why you see such an overlap with extremism.

        I’m pro-civilian above all else. When Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, I condemned it. When Israel inflicted dozens of October 7ths upon civilians of Gaza, I too have continued to condemn it.

        The Palestinian children suffering and being murdered are not Hamas and they deserve the right to live. They can’t even vote.

        I want Hamas gone but not at the expense of innocent children, humanitarian workers, journalists, and hostages.

        Do you think this person was referring to actual Hamas members when they said “HAMAS BABIES?”

        After watching 11 months of children being dismembered by the IDF and starving to death while Israelis cheer and have music festivals to celebrate, I wouldn’t mind the destruction of Israel tbh.

        The destruction of a genocidal state is a good thing.

        Doesn’t matter if it’s Rhodesia or Israel, from a leftist worldview all should fall.
