Hamas are freedom fighters and not terrorists

You need to analyze why you think there is any universe where militants defending themselves from a genocide are the bad guys and be prepared for an answer you don't want to hear.

Hamas is a far-right authoritarian fundamentalist group.

All revolutionary movements are fundamentally authoritarian in that they aim to exercise the right of one group over another. This term has no meaningful value and throwing this word around is common for liberal pseudo-intellectuals like you.

Yes, The Islamic Resistance Movement is not ideologically Marxist and does not uphold Class Struggle as primary however the contradictions between Islamic Fundamentalism and Marxism are currently not primary in Palestine.

This insane “I hate X, and Y is the enemy of X…so I must love Y!” shit is fuckin infuriating. Like…THAT is what liberals do. It’s what conservatives do. This kind of one dimensional thinking IS liberalism and it’s such a telling symptom of growing up under the two party American system.

The Islamic Resistance Movement aims for the destruction of the Zionist Entity and is an ally of all Palestinian Resistance Movements. It is an integral part of the Joint command of various Palestinian Resistance Movements fighting against the Zionist Entity. Revolutionaries the world over and all progressive peoples support Hamas in their united struggle along with the Palestinian Masses against the Zionist entity. Your arguments however make it obvious that you yourself have a failed understanding of Revolutionary Proletarian Politics and ironically are another comical product of the Yankee Empire.

Not to mention, Israel LOVES framing this as “Hamas/Israel” because it completely ignores the Palestinian people, (and because Israel funded Hamas…)

Many Oppressive Regimes have applied this tactic historically, to propagandize that they are fighting not the oppressed peoples themselves but an alien group.

Hamas might not be perfect, but as of right now, it's the best-organized force in Palestine. Also, you're the lib for accusing both sides of being bad when one side is committing genocide on the other. Most Palestinians have a positive opinion about hamas btw.

Stopped reading after "authoritarian"

I thought we had all agreed this shit doesn't exist.

Have you actually bothered to ask a Palestinian person whether they think Hamas is on their side or not, or have you in your infinite cracker wisdom decided how it is? There are many resistance groups in Palestine and beyond, both Marxist and non-Marxist, both Islamic and secular, and Hamas is just one of these groups, and you know what? At the moment they are all united behind the cause of liberation, because it turns out they know how to recognize primary and secondary contradictions, and they are done letting the colonizers and their western "leftist" useful idiots divide them and pit them against each other.

The reality is that at the moment Hamas is the militarily strongest Palestinian resistance group, it is the most numerous and most well armed and it has the undeniable support of the population of Gaza whom they protect and are protected by. Why do you think the Zionist regime is collectively punishing the entirety of Gaza instead of - if Hamas was so unpopular - letting the people of Gaza betray Hamas and deliver them to the Israeli authorities? Why do you think the Zionists are so furious about the fact that Hamas was elected by the people of Gaza?

And do you realize that the Palestinian Authority in the occupied Palestinian West Bank territories - who are nothing more than a tool that the occupation uses to enable its colonization of the West Bank - has much less popular support than Hamas and if they were to run against Hamas in elections tomorrow they would lose? Of course none of this means that we support or endorse the reactionary and religiously conservative ideological position of Hamas. We have our ideology and they have theirs and there is a time and a place for resolving that contradiction, but it is not while a war of national liberation and resistance against apartheid and genocide is being waged.

If Stalin himself could see that it is strategically useful for communists to support national liberation struggles against imperialism and colonialism even when they are led by bourgeois and monarchist forces, and if Mao Zedong and the CPC were mature enough to realize the necessity of joining forces with their bitter nationalist enemies to expel the fascist, imperialist invaders, then why do you refuse to listen to the secular and Marxist-Leninist Palestinian liberation groups like PFLP when they tell you that the tactical alliance with Islamic resistance groups makes sense in the context of their struggle?

Do you know the material and social conditions of Palestine better than them? Maybe show a little humility and try learning from the groups who are actually involved in the struggle over the future of their homeland and their people. I know westerners look down on the people of the global south, particularly on Muslims, and think they need to be taught by the enlightened and civilized Europeans how not to be mindless fanatics and authoritarians, but do try and be a little less of a chauvinist while you're on this platform. Please? If you could tone down the paternalism and Orientalism that would be cool.

The absolute gall to call us usians in such a vat of ignorance is fucking appalling.

You want to see a Palestine without Hamas? Look at the West Bank. There's no Hamas there. What a utopia it is, right?

Genocide? Bad

Resisting Genocide? Also Bad

Enjoy your ban.
