I am finding I like Mastodon the best. Lemmy has potential, but I think the political extremism and lack of hobbyist culture here currently, mixed with the incredibly confusing on-boarding process beginners have to navigate, along with the name, all contribute to making it DOA.

So if I send it to people who aren’t you… it’s okay?

If you don’t want to be called out for being a propagandist for a terrorist organization, the simple solution is to stop being one.

And there it is, little buddy proving that this is not a Pro-Palestinian, but rather a pro-Hamas movement.

Don’t be a coward who runs away after taking the mask off. Actually stand by what you said and be willing to discuss it.

If you weren’t suggesting that Hamas is merely armed resistance and legally protected by the international courts, what was your last sentence in reference to?

Terrorism is not protected by international law.

Lol I am not a conservative, but yes, block if you are unable to defend a position.

You shpuld have no trouble finding a single positive word against the IDF then.

Defending the innocence of a right wing Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organization is absolutely bonkers.

So until Hamas confirms the claims, you are just going to not trust that they did this?

Oh, were you not insinuating that a terrorist organization could be capable of murdering hostages?

The French “terrorists” weren’t trying to provoke Germany into killing as many French as possible to win a propaganda in the US, for starters.

These are not even vaguely the same situations.

“Hamas could never do something like this. Kidnap and take hostages? Sure. But they would never cross this line. They are the good guys.”

Fuck off.

Well I am glad you see a distinction between Gandhi and Hamas. Some of you guys I don’t think are capable of making that distinction.

But no, nothing Israel has ever done justified Oct. 7th. Hamas did not do that to liberate the Palestinian people. They did it because Iran paid them to and they knew it would kill a lot of their own people.

Gandhi’s goal wasn’t to get as many Indians killed as he could. Imagine if Hamas actually took inspiration from Gandhi though.

I wasn’t sure you were. It seemed like you were trying to suggest that Oct. 7th was a legally protected action.

What specific actions done by Hamas are you attempting to claim are legally protected?

I’m sure it emotionally feels better for you to pretend I am down with genocide than it is to actually confront and respond to anything I said.

Kind of seems like fox News level intellectual cowardice on your part though.

The Palestinians elected Hamas, did they not?

International law does not protect terrorism against civilians.

Were you not aware of that?

No, the actions of Hamas were not inevitable. That is absolving them of moral culpability.

But thank you for proving my point that this is not a pro-Palestine movement, but rather an anti-Israeli movement.

So if the political goals of the Palestinian government are to kill as many Palestinians as possible, why are the anti-Israel protests not a joint protest of both Israel and Palestine?

Why is the role of Hamas minimized?

You may not know the answer or be willing to say it, but I certainly know the answer and am under no obligation to not say it.
