I hate the framing of Hamas as terrorists, if they are considered terrorists, The IOF should be too.

I was reading the 1988 charter and there are parts of it that are sketchy and contain anti semitic stuff, like saying that Jews control the world and media and that they use groups like the Freemasons to push the Zionist agenda. I think there is one quote about killing jews. But in the same charter they talk about aoming for Muslims, Christians and Jews to live peacefully together as they had after the Islamic conquest in the 7th century. And I recognize that the formation of Hamas is a reaction to colonization, displacement, murder and torture. Also I know they did re-write the charter in 2017 to explicitly state that they are militantly against the Zionist occupation and not Jews. It’s interesting and evokes a lot of different conflicting feelings for me, I just would be super curious to see an interview with someone who has been part of Hamas for decades speak on this

Edit: I’m working on a very brief history of Palestine and I’m finally working on 1988-1995 so there is probably a lot of context I’m missing at this point in the history too and am really curious to keep moving forward and learn about it.

unarmed Palestinians did peaceful Great March of Return throughout 2018 and were cut down in the thousands by IOF snipers who were having competitions to see how many people they could maim

so done with this historically ignorant moralizing shit about nonviolence from liberals

peaceful protest? yeah hooray let me march with you haha

UH ERM VIOLENCE? THAT’S NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GET THINGS DONE !!!1!!!1

all it takes to piss off a liberal is telling them that actual real change doesn’t happen with signing petitions and holding hands. no government gives a single shit or fuck about your lip service and will continue to steamroll oppressed groups regardless
