    I… no, honey, I wasn’t actually talking about men there, I was talking about how you’re deflecting criticism of Israel by equating it to criticism of individual israeli’s, by connecting your comment to the MRA movement’s constant cries of “not all men” when feminists say things like “1 in 4 women have been sexually assualted”. It’s not an incorrect statement in itself, but it isn’t any more relevent or helpful than me saying I wasn’t involved in the 1943 Bengal Famine, so it’s not fair to say Britain killed millions of Indians.

        Sorry, not sorry.

        Shut the fuck up you reddit brained fence sitting debate pervert liberal.

        You are an unimaginative impotent weasel and should save us all the trouble and shove yourself into a fucking locker.

        the right-extremist government, the child murdering military and the illegal settlers of Israel,

        …who the fuck else do you think there is in Israel? Government, military, civilians, what?

        Secondly, criticising Hamas is pretty problematic: they have lived their entire lives as second class citizens under a white European occupation, often literally under siege from an unprofessional military, losing their parents, siblings, and children to random attacks by settlers, snipers, bulldozers etc and being forced out of their homes into more and more crowded refugee camps. If you’d condemn people for fighting back under those circumstances, what would you say about resistance forces in WWII, Irish forces fighting the British, or Haitians throwing off the chains of their enslavers? Israel has not given them a choice about harming civilians - civilians are literally its first line of defence, spread out across Palestinian land to maintain their hold, moved into houses as soon as they are taken so any attempt to regain land necessarily involves them. You can be critical in your support, but it is a moral prerogative to condone and support Hamas in their fight against European colonialism and white supremacism.
