- There are no good guys in this war.
  This is not a war, it’s a genocide of an open-air prison, where most of the prisoners were born there and have never seen the outside of it their entire lives.
  The Palestinians have a right to armed struggle against their occupiers, and their occupiers have no right to self-defense.
  
  This is the take that makes people feel like they can shoot grandma's and burn children. You can run an effective resistance without targeting civilians ask the ANC.
- Erdogan is a fascist who's responsible for genocide in Northern Syria. He doesn't give a fuck about Palestinians or the genocide Israel is carrying out against them. He is aligned with Hamas and terrorism because disrupts regional power and gives him opportunities. This is an opportunity for him, and nothing more. His government backed Isis before. This is the same.
  It has nothing to do with the very real need to end the genocide of Palestinians or the legitimate desire of Palestinians to resist their oppression. He aligns himself with horrible people because he is himself horrible.
  
  On the contrary. Erdogan is aligned with America and israel. Aside from lip-service this man does not help Hamas nor Palestine.
  2022- Israel’s Benny Gantz relaunches defence ties with Turkey
  After months of warming ties, Israel and Turkey announced on August 17 the full restoration of relations and the return of ambassadors to both countries.
- ANC apologizes for deaths in anti-apartheid fight,
  But says struggle was justified
  May 12, 1997 CAPE TOWN, South Africa (CNN) -- The African National Congress formally apologized Monday for the killing of civilians by its guerrilla forces during the ANC's three-decade struggle against apartheid.
  The ANC repeated its position that the armed struggle against the country's white-ruled government, which began in 1960, was a just war and that civilians had not been deliberately targeted.
  But the ANC statement said some of its guerrillas weren't sufficiently trained and "were never thoroughly under the discipline of the ANC."
- Interesting reading the mod log and seeing what got your comment removed and you banned.
  
  Yeah, that comment was based and tame to get a ban for it.
iirc Turkey has some pretty close arms trade with Israel, but I mean them saying this already places Turkey morally ahead of literally every middle eastern country par Iran and Yemen.
- Morally ahead? maybe if they would have said that they would back the Palestinian people instead of hamas leadership.
  
  Anything is better than outright banning Palestinian protests and killing dissenters (cough cough KSA)
- Most middle Eastern countries do not have arms trade with Israel. This places them morally ahead of Turkey.
- Amazing how you completely contradict yourself in one sentence. Much like Erdogan.
All talk but no action.
