Reminds me how some special person on reddit described October 7 as a "minor provocation".
I mean, we can all agree that Israel are no saints, but anyone who supports Hamas or downplay the way they operate are in my opinion either stupid or ignorant or both OR they have no fucking morals and should stop pretending to ride around on that high horse when they cry about dead Palestinians.
Yes, Israel are fucking horrible for killing civilians, but Hamas are the ones who uses the civilians as meat shields. If Hamas played by the war handbook, there would not have been this many dead civilians. At the very least Israel gives out warnings for civilians to evacuate and area before they bomb it while Hamas build their entire base of operations right in the middle of where little kids are playing.
I don't fucking want to defend Israel, but I want idiots who support hamas to understand what the fuck it is they are supporting. And if they still support Hamas after that, then they might as well support Israel too. They both have Palestinian blood on their hands. Ffs. Why does this conflict always attract the dumbest people among us? It's like the war version of all those antivaxxers that popped up under covid.
- the IDF murders people coming for food rations in cold blood, no warning. Another 72 dead yesterday by that same strategy.
  
  be wary of what headlines you read
- Hamas are the ones who uses the civilians as meat shields.
  Half true, Isreal also uses civilians as meat shields, and often execute them afterwards.
  Not defending Hamas doing it, just clarifying that Hamas is one of the ones doing it, not the ones.
How insane does one have to be to openly write "We support Hamas"?
- As a supporter of Palestine and their right to exist, their own state and to defend themselves I stop short of support for what happened that day. I understand how it got there and Israel's role in oct 7th but it cant be condoned.
- tankie insane
- why shouldn't people pick the underdog?
  
  ISIS were underdogs.
  Things are a lot more complicated than david v goliath.
  
  Just because hitler is evil, doesnt mean I have to support ernst röhm in the Night of the Long Knives. Enemy of Enemy can still be Enemy.
get back to work dessalines
Do you ever think about what you're gonna do when you win the fight against fascism on Lemmy? Like what to do with that Nobel prize money?
- Might as well stop fighting against faschist since there is no noble price in the end then.
  
  You think this is a noble fight against fascism? It's not, this is for your entertainment!
- Probably pivot my time and effort into general promotion of the Lemmy-verse. Kinda hard these days when, inevitably, someone is going to come in and ask "Isn't that the place that's full of tankies?"
  At least if defederation is achieved against the whole triad I can say, "Yea they're there, but most instances have disconnected from their instances, so you won't see their BS unless you specifically want to"

  An anecdote I've shared before a time or two on my lemm.ee account was that I almost quit Lemmy specifically because of how insufferable the Hexbears were.
  I can't speak to whether keeping me around was good, but I genuinely only remained because I learned how to block the instance.
  
  I don't think you'll do any of that. The second you don't have this to grind against, i think you're gone or you find a new fight.
  Like this was cute at first, I hate the tankies too, I just had 10 solid paragraphs about how Hasan is a left wing grifter modded off. This is gonna seem like cry bullying, but was this the person you always were, or did Lemmy turn you into this? Fucking tankies.
  You kinda remind me of Mozz, pretty sure that dude worked for the DNC cause he was gone weeks after the election.
