I genuinely do not know who the bad guys are. S lot of my leftist friends are against Israel, but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.
Enlighten me. Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?
And dumb it down for me, because apparently I’m an idiot.
Because you’re unable to distinguish between a state and a people, you’re unable to imagine anything but the eradication of a people, even though the example of the state of South Africa was just given to you.
No, I was more pointing out that exact conflation of state and people that Hamas’s ideology clearly makes, as evidenced by how they conducted their resistance on Oct 7 by largely targeting and slaughtering civilians in their homes. If Hamas wants to dismantle Israeli oppression through activism, negotiations, and political reform great. IMO, it’s disengenuous to say Hamas believes in this approach, given their actions and rhetoric.
