Same when people started calling Hamas "freedom fighters".

I refuse to believe these people are really tbh. Or they're just mentally deranged vocal minority

I'm sorry but that's just idiotic. Gazans were terrorized by Hamas for years themselves. They're not freedom fighters no matter how you look at it.

Would you say Putin is a freedom fighter?

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

They are. Slave rebellions in the US ended up in situations where civilians were killed. That doesn't change peoples view today that they were rightful today and that they were fighting for their freedom.

Not even remotely the same thing. More apt comparison would be Iranian government or Putin or do you forget that Hamas brutally ruled Gaza for years?

Yeah, next people will be saying the ANC were actually freedom fighters!

They're terrorists fighting a terrorist state. The problem here is the Palestinian people being caught in the middle and being used as human shields by both sides. And one side has a certain extra burn to it because they should know better than to just openly commit genocide. Even the Nazis hid it better. All Israel is doing is just murdering journalists. At least have some shame in your genocide, ya know?

You're still repeating that "human shields" hasbara?!.

God, Zionists are shameless

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, it's an intentional genocide here, but neither side cares at all about the people being hurt the most. At all.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 day ago

No, you don't care, and you're projecting that onto others. Don't try to tar others with your own callousness

Sorry I don't follow. How is that relevant to my comment?

When did "I'm thick as mud" become a viable political argument?

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

What? What's even the point of these replies if you just spam me in bad faith. Go write a diary or something if you're looking for an outlet
