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.

      I was quite clear on what both sides are. Didn’t dance around anything.

      If you think not being a formal state, and firing rockets into a civilian area doesn’t make you a terrorist group, then you are insane.

      If you think systematically running an open air prison, and using massively greater military power to suppress and murder a vastly weaker, ethnically distinct “enemy” doesn’t make you a genocidal ethnostate, then you are insane.

        “Terrorist” is nothing more than the 21st century cracker’s version of “savage”. You just don’t like that your hegemon is getting violently defended against.
