    As a comfortable American whose tax dollars support the Israeli war machine, it is not my place to condemn Palestinian resistance, no matter what form it takes.

      Hamas is more foreign proxies than actual Palestinian people’s resistance though.

        I think liberation struggles often require international support. It’s not as if the Israeli occupiers don’t have foreign support either.

          The difference is that Israel is acting to further the interests of Israeli citizens. Where as Hamas couldn’t give less of a fuck about their own civilian population.

            I’m not sure if that’s true, but even if it is, I don’t see how it’s relevant. There were also fair criticisms to be made against the IRA and the ANC, but at the end of the day, someone has to fight the fight.
