        So you think Israel should never have been founded, and think they’re massacring villages, but simultaneously say Palestine should just sit there and keep “peacefully protesting” because the Great Moral Westerner™ said resisting oppression is bad?

        How does that make any sense?

        After watching the way liberal scum reacts to Hamas, I'm convinced Black folk should've been had a Hamas analogue. Grandmaster Jay didn't go far enough.

          I know it's a bit strained, but in terms of "faction of organized armed resistance" wouldn't either the Panthers or whatever Malcolm X was involved with in terms of community defense count as "a Hamas"?

            From what I remember, while the Panthers were absolutely armed, they also weren't primarily about violent resistance against the oppressor, they were primarily about mutual aid for the hoods they operated in. I also wouldn't have considered them large enough or widespread enough to count as a "Hamas". They're also currently only existent in splinters, mostly due to the state department's continuing genocide.

              Yeah, I spoke of them in the past tense for a reason, but fair enough on the rest of it.
