Wtf I can't even...
Do I read it right that Hamas isn't responsible for the atrocities they committed?
No more than a thief who is starving is responsible for stealing from the society which is starving them. They created Hamas through their devastating genocide and continued subjugation slowly made them more popular than their local government. I don't even need to get into conspiracies (like that they were created to give the Zionists an excuse to continue ramping up the violence) to put the blame solely on the government and material conditions that created them through their pure savagery.
Basically, it's just fucking ISIS all over again. You see all the shocking shit they do but you never look into why they're like that, just take what the empire says at face value when they were quite literally the people who formed/funded/developed ISIS into what it is today. Would I like to invite either group over to my house? As they are now? Fuck no. They need to chill out and become normal people, and let me tell you that is never going to happen when their people are being slaughtered for the sin of existing. They're violent in direct reaction to the violence being perpetuated on them on a day to day basis. This is just their normal, and the empire made it that way, and if you actually want to reduce the amount of harm being done in the world, you have to create a world where they can genuinely heal from all the trauma that was forced onto them.
EDIT: And all you have to say to that is a downvote and leave. God fucking damn it I am so sick of that nazi bar instance why do I even try to reason with any of you.
