The timing of this is especially awkward since the régime recently redeployed chemical weapons in Gaza, the same régime that taught U.S. police the asphyxiation technique that Derek Chauvin used on George Floyd, and the same régime that treats black lives with contempt.

We have not been able to breathe for 20 years now, during which we have been compelled to suffer and somehow live with missiles and rockets falling on our children, and this in order to avoid insofar as possible harming innocent people in the Gaza Strip.

The lack of self‐awareness is baffling. If Zionists truly wanted to know how any reasonable being could support Hamas, all that they have to do is spend a few minutes looking at the merciless destruction of Gaza and the more than 7,000 Palestinian civilians that the régime has massacred this month. There is really no excuse for them to keep scratching their heads at this point.

And before a Zionist responds with DARVO: again, look at the context. It isn’t the Palestinians’ fault that the Zionists decided to colonize their land and impoverish them. Claiming that Hamas were the ones who ‘started it’ only makes you look even more ignorant.
