woke DSA comrades: "noooo, I'm not a settler anymore!!!! indigenous people have already been genocided so I'm innocent little baby who you must respect". I always hear these hipsters say their finance imperialist hive is innocent, but I have never once heard them demand for the recognition of indigenous treaties. Worthless opportunists are slime clinging to the sewer of the empire

      It's not, they are explicitly anti-communist. But they're "good" in that they are fighting against colonialism and imperialism, IMO the primary contradiction.

      Freeing Palestine is a left project. It not like we are literally giving Hamas weapons (like the IDF did decades ago lol), we aren't that important, we're all just clammering on the internet, in which case Hamas deserves your critical support in their resistance against ethnic cleansing since they are the biggest organization fighting against Israeli colonialism and apartheid. Israel sabotaged the PFLP and Fatah so as to give Palestine a "scary" islamist face with Hamas, so getting all liberal about guerilla fighters resisting their annihilation is literally you falling for an IDF op. Don't worry, Hamas isn't going to form an Islamic Caliphate over Israel and kill all the Jews, they are simply fighting to save their nation and people

      The general anti appartheid-colonial-settler liberation movement from the side thats being genocided is, even if it isnt spearheaded by a left org rn ( it has been for large parts of its existance tho)

          whining about Hamas without mentioning that Israel backed it specifically to weaken the Palestinean liberation movement is pretty disingenuous

          the article's right that Hamas isn't a perfect, unproblematic, proletarian resistance movement, but they're the only real option Gaza has at the moment
