    I don’t think the Netanyahu regime are the good guys, but I didn’t think the Trump regime were the good guys either. I don’t endorse blaming a nationality for the actions of shitty leaders, especially shitty leaders who have directly undermined democracy in their countries.

      Wild to me that you conflated Netanyahu and Trump, rather than Israel and Hamas. But either way, I agree.

      I don’t think what Hamas has done is “cool, chill and dope”, but I certainly understand living under the violence of apartheid and becoming violent yourself.

      Especially when your prayer, worship and protest are met with military action by your “supervisor”(?)

      What else are you supposed to do if you’re a Palestinian? They can’t even live a normal day of peace, that doesn’t exist for them.

        I consider Netanyahu and Trump to be elements of the modern international neofascist movement, aka “illiberal democracy”.

          I think a defining moment of your comment was at the end, when you said, “ they’re either strong enough to defend themselves or they all get killed - I wouldn’t want to be in either sides shoes. “

          One IS strong enough to defend themselves and the others are the ones getting slaughtered.

          The one that can defend themselves? Israel

          The one that can’t? Gaza
