Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

If you took a poll it wouldn’t even be close in terms of Palestinians supporting Hamas’ goal of committing genocide vs American Jews supporting the same against Palestinians. That’s why you don’t see voices of Palestinians in the diaspora calling out Hamas while tons of American Jews are extremely critical of Israel. Apparently it’s racist for me to say that?
The fact that you think a group of people are bound by genealogy to "denounce hamas" reeks of bigotry. Additionally, the oppressed do not have the same responsibilities as the oppressors.
Idk people are bound by geneaology to "denounce white supremicist terrorist groups,” seems to me that's the standard, people assume you support the bad people that are the same color as you unless you go "no no no se I don't like them either, look I'm doing the good thing see? Look at me I'm one of the good ones!"
Not saying it's right, it just seems to be par for the course.
Btw, I'm not one of those white supremecists or anything like that, I support everyone's right to do whatever they want so long as they aren't hurting people or stealing their shit, just to be clear.
So were the kids and babies that were intentionally killed and abducted last week by Hamas militants “the oppressors”?
Do you mean the fake baby beheading story? Seriously, are you as passionate when Palestinian children are murdered daily by the IDF and settlers as you are for imaginary Israeli babies?
No I don’t mean that story which is of questionable veracity. However are you denying Hamas targeted and killed and abducted children eight days ago? Because they have said so themselves.
