Highlights include: having been well fed while Hamas fighters skipped meals and could not eat, seeing/hearing the struggle of the Palestinian people and their families and feeling deep sympathy, and being baked a birthday cake on their birthday which is now being reported as a “cynical gesture.” As we all know, it is very easy to acquire the ingredients to bake a cake in Gaza right now and there is plenty of time to spend baking it just so you can dunk on somebody. Israel’s barbarity knows no end. It will simply not allow Palestinians to be portrayed as human beings who have emotions, human connection, and empathy for even a moment.

When Russia went to war with Ukraine, the Ukrainians were horrifically maiming the enemies they took hostage, all to the cheers and drools of a Western audience. The Russians haven't committed even a 1/100th of what Israel has done to Palestine over the course of almost eighty years and these guys are forgoing meals and baking birthday cakes, all while in the middle of being genocided.
Why the hell are we still supporting colonizers?
Just a reminder: The Taino people that Christopher Columbus conducted horrific atrocities upon actually saved his life when he arrived.
God damn it I'm tired of this; in war people commit horrific atrocities against the people they're at war with, that's what always happens, but here we have people actually trying to abide by the scams of international law and Geneva convention that's used as a cudgel by Western powers against their political rivals and we're supporting the side actually conducting a genocide. They're even going above and beyond the expectations of international law and the Geneva convention.
These are good people, and I'm not just talking about the average Palestinian, I'm talking about Hamas; do they have an Abu Ghraib? No, and yet everyone expects they do. Twenty years from now we'll have the same damn libs telling us they were lied to by the experts that they won't stop listening to. God damn it, it doesn't benefit any of us to continue supporting this damn occupation; these are good people, these people deserve to win like the ANC did against South African apartheid and for their heroes to be remembered like Nelson Mandela, but our government and Israel is fighting even the propaganda war to make sure that never happens.
Fuckin’ A
I commend Hamas
I think part of that phenomenon is that resistance is defined against injustice, necessarily being more empathetic and recognising of others lives, whereas colonialism is defined on lines of hatred, subjugation, and dehumanisation.
