Many leftists are extremely idealist and get swayed by Western opinion a lot. They dont support Hamas because Hamas are not the perfect MLs freedom fighters. This is childish and just gives ammunition to the liberals to discredit Hamas’ stance. This criticism of Hamas goes against the global decolonization cause. Every time a decolonial group fights against their oppressor, they are criticized even by leftists. Is this what Lenin referred to as left-com?

It sucks that people who one thought were comrades end up doing this. Like are we even on the same team or are you just a closeted liberal? It is crazy, unscientific and unmaterialistic to not consider Palestinian material conditions, and to not consider who they made their champions for this cause, but instead to apply your idealism to the situation.

    Terrorist organizations are those without standing on the global stage, without independent financial or structural elements, without “normal” elections (corrupt or not), essentially the non-governmental organizations.

    Yes, Israel is acting very terroristically, but they have the labels and standing to be called a “state”

    If Hamas wins their every hope and dream, guess what they’ll become?
