Seriously, imagine typing "there is often only 'anti genocide and pro genocide' in online discussions" and thinking "yes, I will post this and look like a very good and moral person". Yes, if you're not against genocide you're for genocide. Yes, if you think supporting the resistance to genocide is antisemitic, you are a genocidal zionist. This type of "nuanced" "anti-zionism" (liberal zionism) is also widespread on feddit.org.
What I think they meant was that people here only think about the genocide and thus declare the perpetrators evil (which they are) and the victims the good guys (hamas are not).
One side's atrocities don't justify the other side's. Excusing your own group's actions because they're the good guys is far right thinking.
In reality there's more factors to this than just the genocide, and both hamas and israel are the bad guys in their own way. One is just worse than the other, but that doesn't make the other good.
Correct.
You're wrong, Hamas are in fact "the good guys" in this conflict. The resistance to the genocidal settler state are good even if they don't measure up to whatever arbitrary standard of perfection you have in mind.
Bullshit framing designed to try to equate between the invading settler state (with overwhelming firepower) and the (often barely adult) native resistance just trying to survive and protect their homes.
"Hemming and hawing over genocide is disgusting."
The world will be better when humans will be able to escape this manichean thinking.
"I proudly stand for neither the genocidal maniacs or for the armed resistance against them". Most enlightened centrist
"Slaughtering civilians and shielding behind the people victim of genocide is what I call resistance against genocide". Most enlightened extremist
Lol, imagine pretending to be anti-genocide while repeating the "human shields" Hasbara.
Zionist scum
Resistance to genocide is the correct position to take.
100% agree and that's not what Hamas is trying to do or I miss the part where they protect the palestinians in their actions
Hamas is the main force of the Palestinian resistance, a coalition force actively fighting against genocide.
"I don't condemn resistance to genocide, I just happen to condemn every single group that engages in resistance to genocide"
"Hemming and hawing over genocide is disgusting."
Copy pasting this shit doesn't make you look smarter
I apologize, you're not hemming and hawing over genocide. You're supporting it to "look smarter".
