    Hamas has committed terrorist acts. It’d be naive to think they don’t support terrorism. Frankly it was the spark that started the most recent developments with the conflict.

    • Again, more ignorance. Not only being racist to 87% of the world population who don’t see Hamas as terrorists. But also completely disregarding and ignoring the context that led Hamas to respond on October 7th. Do you even know why it was called Operation Al-Aqsa Flood?

      This happened on October 4th! Worshippers were attacked in Al-Aqsa Mosque https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/4/israeli-settlers-storm-al-aqsa-mosque-complex-on-fifth-day-of-sukkot

      Typical racists, always ignoring that they attacked first, and only focusing on the response.

        It’s clear the intentions were to strike terror in an effort to bring attention to the apartheid. This does not detract from the fact that it was still terrorism.

            US policy towards the apartheid in South Africa changed over the years. This highlights the importance of being open minded!

            • The US supported apartheid in South Africa until the bitter end, even when the rest of the world stood in opposition to it. Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist until 2008.

              Your government gets a lot wrong. So I can safely ignore it.

                The beauty of a democratic government is the nature of shifts in policy. It may not be able to act as swiftly as an authoritarian regime, but it does allow all sides to get their time to share input. I’ve never claimed the US to be the arbitor of morality, they’ve made their fair share of mistakes. Fortunately the democratic process allows us to Garner a better understanding as a whole, and thus work towards the solutions that being forth the most common good. Very utilitarian in nature.

                    High Speed Rail is in a Renaissance phase here in the US, it’s incredibly exciting! I’m not sure how this fits the current discourse here though.
