If you are expecting to read my usual Left Coast column, I tell you now that you will be disappointed.

  • The romanticization of Hamas’s killing spree by one small subsection of the left, the argument that the shedding of innocent blood is somehow forced on the killers by their victims, is the same one that far-right murderers, such as Anders Beivik or Dylann Roof, have been making these past several years before they open fire with their high-velocity rifles and spray supermarkets, schools, music festivals, churches, synagogues, and mosques with their murderous ammunition.

    These clowns do be having the same talking points. Anders Beivik or Dylann Roof weren't trapped in an open air prison for their entire lives. They are very privileged 'people' (white, male, middle income etc) who hate minorities because they want it all for themselves. Meanwhile, people who join Hamas do so because they are frustrated of the repressive colonial force treating them like they aren't humans. Comparing the two is ridiculous.

    • Comparing Palestinians to far right persons like Breivik and Roof is so disgustingly vile.

    • OK comparing Beivik and Roof to the Palestinian struggle is definitly one of the most disgusting and vile arguments I've seen through all this. Fuck the author of this.

    • Well the propagandists are just im-doing-my-part in desperatly trying to tie the word [terrorist] to Hamas and thus brainworms magica dooba now palestine-heart = terrorist subhuman animals deserving to be wiped off the face of the earth.

      maybe-later-honey Why you no frothingfash are not also scratched :lib: ? Why you no scratched?

      :maybe-later-kiddo: That's it! You're out of the wine cave meetings!

    • Ah yes, the fact that the right appropriates left-wing arguments is proof that they're both the same, rather than that left-wing arguments are popular and the right is parasitizing them
