    The issue is nobody is saying Hamas attacking civilians are justified

    They do, but they word it like this:

    We hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence

    And this:

    Hamas is not a terror organization, it is an organization of liberation, of mujahedeen, who fight to protect their land and citizens.

        My first quote is from a group of Harvard students immediately following the attack on Israel. The second is from Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkey. Do heads of state count?

          So

          1. nobody here, on Lemmy, where this discussion is happening.
          2. nobody in the article being linked, which started the discussion.

          Just because somebody, somewhere on the internet, might be defending Hamas doesn’t mean I have to preface everything I say with “Hamas bad”.

          “Trump’s latest tirade is an embarrassment. Also, just so no one thinks I’m defending them by attacking Trump, Hamas Bad.”

          To be clear: Hamas Bad. Israel Bad. Stop Both.
