Yes, and they claim the right to do what they did to innocent people. They are innocent , as much as my neighbors in America are innocent, even though they are from all races and nationalities, they still are occupying First Nation land as defended by American colonizers and upholded by colonial capitalism. My neighbors are colonizers as much as I am, a half Filipino. My mom is a colonizer and is full blooded Filipino. She, and all of my neighbors deserves anything she gets if First Nation people wanted America back the same way Hamas wanted Palestine back for the Palestinians?

I do not disagree that I would not at all be surprised if First Nation people were so fucking hateful towards Americans, but would I defend that act? I couldn’t, I love my neighbors. They are beautiful Muslims, Christians, black, Mexican, white, old, young, etc. What Hamas does to innocent people like them, I just can’t do it. There has to be other ways.

I know what it means, I understand it means to struggle. They use it in a violent context, it is not misinterpreted.

Look at the other replies here, I posted sections of Hamas’ 2017 peace document which explicitly states their right to jihad and I got “yeah, jihad is fine” from someone. People defend Hamas here.

Luigi killed an oppressor. Teenagers and old ladies that Hamas targets in their atracks are not oppressors. I’m not unaware of Israel, but Hamas does use human shields. This is a fact. Hamas cannot ever do this. It is inhumane. It shreds them of innocence. It makes removing Hamas impossible without innocent loss, and I hear you on wanting thay. If oct 7 resulted in only oligarchs and military leaders and politicians being targeted I’d be having a different discussion. If any intifada by Hamas had desired peace instead of total war, we’d have a different discussion. Hamas is as evil as Israel is, I agree.

Their self-claimed right to religious jihad? The spreading of an Islamic ethnic state? Nothing wrong the the spread of Islam or the Arabic ethnicity, but i disagree on violent means (jihad and by establishing a state). Do you?

Their end goal is to jihad Israel until they are gone, wiped off the earth. We’ll just assume the Jews will be safe, I guess? I don’t like the state of Israel, but I don’t want the world to lose the Jewish people, and I don’t trust Hamas to be the protector of so many Jews. I have seen zero evidence that Hamas will be willing to risk their lives to protect and save the lives of innocent Jewish people. Again, I just want a better option than Hamas for the people of Gaza and the West Bank. I want a better option for the people of Israel/Judea too, than their current state.

I’d love any source on Hamas’ peaceful intentions towards the Jewish people

No, but there’s nuance. Hamas is not worth supporting under any circumstance. I believe the Arabs and Muslims in Gaza and the West Bank should be able to live peacefully with all non Arabs and non Muslims in the region. Hamas does not want that. Hamas does not want peace with non Muslims, especially Jews.

You think the Taliban and Pakistan and Afghanistan are… Arab? Why don’t you believe that they are Pashtuns?

What do hamas think of women?
