A super funny thing I saw was a group of LGB students holding a sign saying they supported Palestine etc.., probably without knowing they support folks that would literally kill them for being gay. 1 1 Link to comment

I think realizing that life in Palestine is harder for normal folks that live there largely due to the Israeli government is a far cry from supporting Hamas. Stupid people think that doing one means they have to do the other. They are dumb. 4 Link to comment

Just with the lack of civil rights and all, it seems odd some of the people/groups that would be supportive. 2 Link to comment

Stupid people think that doing one means they have to do the other. They are dumb. We're seeing it in real time even in this thread. Supporting Palestine is supporting the normal human beings who, despite any disagreements or different ways of seeing the world, have been denied any hope or ability for self-determination in their lives and have to fight like hell just to survive, because of nothing they did other than exist. It's not supporting terrorism, or brutal and unjust rulers, or war, and it's also not in conflict with supporting Israelis. 1 1 1 Link to comment

There is a big % of Palestinians that "support" Hamas though, so I could see where there would be some grey area when it comes to supporting. 3 Link to comment

They don’t mess around and their responses aren’t typically limited to any injustices done to them. I’ll be very surprised if this doesn’t result in all out war with Iran. My guess is Gaza will not exist as a Palestinian governed territory after this. Whenever Israel is attacked they take whatever territory they think they need for security. I bet they take and govern Gaza now. Just like Golan Heights. 2 1 Link to comment

This is true, and it's another layer that's complicated. Some support Hamas because plenty of people in the world are either idiots or a$$h@!es or both. Some support because they believe in redemptive violence the same way most Americans do and see Israel as the party at fault to which they are responding and resisting. Plenty of other good and bad and understandable-even-though-its-wrong factors at play. Ultimately folks who support something bad have the same right to liberty and freedom and self-determination as those who don't, regardless of where or who they are. 1 Link to comment
