    this comment right here is why zionism is antisemitic. it poisons people who don’t know any better into thinking israel represents judaism.

      Even Hamas, who is getting bombed by people saying “We’re doing this because we’re Jews and this is Jewish land” sees through that and makes a distinction between Jews and Zionists. Some guy living in the imperial core who has never been victimized has no excuse.

        No they don’t. That’s just their PR to the west

        For them, just like the zionists, it’s purely a religious contest

          So you think the Hamas Charter, an Arabic-language document, was made entirely for western PR?

          Also, religion is orthogonal to Zionism; most Zionists are American Christians like Joe Biden. Israel is a settler-colonial project first and foremost, and religion is simply a tool it uses for that purpose.

          yeah hamas sucks. it’s important to understand though why people are turning to hamas right now: it’s that, or die. so there are a lot of people with hamas right now who don’t hate jews, but are fighting alongside or even under a terrorist group who does genuinely and deeply suck.
