People support Palestinian's, not Hamas. (unless you are a le epic edge lord)
Hamas is not a “good” organization. They are a fundamentalist, anti communist organization that would repress women’s and LGBT rights if they had control. While you can sympathize with the reason for their existence, actively praising them is objectively bad. Endorsing a reactionary org that seeks to impose it's fundamentalist views on everyone in the region they control is not something leftists advocate for
Militant action against Israeli - good
fundamentalist, reactionary anti-communist ideas the group hold - bad
sadly some ppl get into leftism to simply be against the status quo or to be edgy. The same ppl prolly praise how effectively China is rooting out extremism and fundamental beliefs in Xinjiang
(The point is the contradiction, not saying China bad)
I’m not saying many do, I’m just saying while some ppl get into it for good reasons, some, like Obama, are just trying to get with that long legged socialist :blob-no-thoughts:
I think that's the case. IDF being considered analogous to Hamas is an easy mistake to make if most of what you've heard is that they're fighting one another. It's shaking off those last bits of both-sidesing.
It is in the interest of the Israeli state to portray all Palestinian resistance from Hamas. It’s part of what makes this meme and type of thinking, which is pervasive in Democratic circles. You let them conflate Palestinian militancy with Hamas and you know these things about Hamas being a fundamentalist essentially right wing org, and you certainly wouldn’t want to support that, so you say nothing, which is effectively supporting the status quo.

I’ve seen some “Hamas good” takes on here which made me cringe.

Or people get into leftism for good reasons, but occasionally slip into lazy oversimplifications.

are you referring directly to me or just lib twitter?
like obviously I support militant Palestinian resistance
The kind of viewpoint represented in the meme, not you saying the obvious that Hamas is bad!
