    It’s hard to believe there’s so much apologetics for Iran here. But hey, there are entire swaths of people saying Hamas are “freedom fighters”.

    I’m tempted of blocking all politic communities on lemmy but I’m not letting these crazies hijack yet another reddit alternative.

      Hamas are the resistance in occupied Gaza. Resistance will always be labelled “terrorism” by the occupying force. Or would you disagree that the résistance in France under Nazi Germany occupation was preceived drastically different depending on which side you were on?

      And as for Iran, I think that if you’d be interested in helping them get over their regime, it has to come from within. Because if we look at Afghanistan, beside years of suffering, what has improved thanks to the western intervention?

        Show me another resistance group that invaded, kidnapped, tortured and murdered hundreds of concert goers. I’ll wait, go on.

          Show me another country occupying and oppressing people they see as animals.

          Unique circumstances lead to unique actions.

          But I think we can all agree that october 7 was not a good thing. Resistance shouls always be directed against the state, not civilians.

      Political tribalism has destroyed their minds and turned them into reactionaries. Their takes are whatever is opposite to the other teams take, and they’ll die on that hill if they have to, even if it’s not logical, even if the opposite team is right.

        It’s a new era of underdog propaganda and it’s so effective.

        I never thought I’d actually see people cheer for Hamas ever. I’ve been rooting for Palestine since before most of these commenters were even born and Hamas has always been incredibly evil organization that somehow managed to get support through the biggest terror act of this decade. Insanity.
