    I must have missed history class where the Warsaw Uprising attacked a peace festival.

    Being oppressed is not a license to become a monster yourself. I refuse to condone cold blooded revenge (both Hamas and IDF).

      That the festival was for peace in Gaza is an onboarding lie spread by the IDF. The festival was simply in celebration of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The motto was “friends, love and infinite freedom”, so just about a regular rave.

      Sadly mandatory: This doesn’t make it okay to slaughter and abduct the attendees.

      Alright what about warcrimes committed by resistance fighters and the allied forced during ww2?

      If you support those groups even though they have done bad shit then you’re a hypocrite and you should try and understand why you consider them differently.

        Hamas wants to get Palestinian’s killed by Israel, that’s their goal. They want their own people to die so Israel looks bad and maybe Hamas can get Saudi Arabia to attack.

        That’s worse than what the allies did.

          Hamas wants hostages to do a hostage swap for Palestinians that Israel is holding hostage in their prisons.

          This is true of any organisation fighting a nation state.

          The IRA did hostage swaps with the British government and this was one of the reasons there is peace in northern Ireland.

            Just anti terrorist.

            And Hamas demanded a 4 day caesefire as part of the hostage swaps, and only offered a small number of hostages.

            And I have Israeli friends who had to live under Hamas rocket fire.

              So your issue is that Israel couldn’t negotiate better or at all?

              And I have Palestinian friends that have lost tens of family members.

                What’s there to negotiate, one side won’t give up hostages without a ceasefire that will greatly strengthen them.

                Then why do you seem to support Hamas? Hamas is a cancer to Palestine.

                Get rid of Hamas and Nethenyu, then maybe the sides can actually go about negotiating peace.

                But here on Lemmy so many of you just scream only Israel bad, Hamas are “good freedom fighters” despite Hamas literally stating they want Israel to kill Palestinians. It’s fucking exhausting the shit you people spout.

                  So no ceasefire till every Palestinian is dead? IOF has a 99% civilian casualty ratio, to take out Hamas fully the civilian death toll would be massive.

                  A cancer is something that spreads and kills the host. Oh I’ve just described isaerl, funny that.

                  Resistance to oppression is always justified. You can critically support groups like Hamas because they are the only ones fighting the oppressor. If the UN was actually stopping Israel I wouldn’t need to vocally support the next best thing.

                    Hamas has come out and said they use tactics that put civilians in the line of fire intentionally. So no, I cannot support the disgusting terrorist group Hamas.

                    And it’s fucking appalling that you can.

        You’re demanding to view this as “good team” / “bad team”. Fix that first because it stops any hope for peace.

          Did looking at Nazis as the bad guys stop peace?

          But no I’m asking if you support critically or uncritically the allies in ww2.

          If you support the allies even though they committed war crimes and you don’t at least uncritically support an oppressed peoples struggle then you are at best a hypocrite and at worst a racist.
