I hope this post fits the content and format of this community, if not I’m sorry.
I’m just incredibly shocked by the fact that an admin of the instance lemmy.dbzer0.com is openly supporting Hamas.

As if Hamas were just reacting to Israels oppression and have no agency of their own? As if they aren’t fighting for a fundamentalist islamist state!?
Hamas emerged from within the context of a brutal occupation.
Before Israel, there was no Hamas.
Before the Nakba, there was no Hamas.
Hamas is fundamentally a construct of colonial resistance.
It is not seriously a threat to any interests except Israeli atrocities. Even if it did threaten Palestinians, the threat would be dwarfed by such atrocities of Israel. Palestinians are far safer through Hamas than they would be without Hamas. It is easy to imagine a superior alternative, but none actually exist in the present.
