    Anarchists are not tankies.

    Campism is support, usually largely uncritical, for imperialist powers opposed to the US, in spite of such supporters identifying as leftists, who oppose all imperialism. Critical support for a tiny, oppressed resistance movement fighting apartheid and genocide is not campism.

          Hey now, Instance rule “be respectful,” buddy – As per your report

          Are you defending Hamas or are in support of Hamas? Should be a pretty easy answer, yeah?

            I sympathize generally with the posted comment.

            Hamas is currently the only credible resistance against the genocidal apartheid terrorist entity of Israel.

            Whether your mind is capable of parsing the nuance is beyond my control.

              Hamas is currently the only credible resistance

              I’m sick and tired of seeing this shit. What fucking credibility does Hamas have? They’ve been in power for 20 years and what have they achieved? Their only acts of “resistance” is terrorist attacks against civilians, that’s it. They quite literally haven’t done a single thing to resist Israel whatsoever.

              This entire debacle is their doing. They spent a long time planning the Oct 7th attacks, broke the status quo, declared a holy war, and now tens of thousands of Gazans are dead because of it. Those terrorist attacks that led to this current situation is their crown achievement. The result? Israel bombed the entire strip into the ground, the IDF marched right in unopposed, they started massacring civilians, and now they control everything. Where’s the opposition? Where’s the resistance? Hamas has resisted shit since their inception.

                There is no other faction with comparable capacities, limited though theirs may be, fighting in Gaza for Palestinians.

                  What fucking capacity? People like you keep parroting this like it’s some gospel truth when it’s nothing more than made up nonsense. They have showed ZERO resistance to Israel. They can’t even do as much as to even scratch an IDF tank.

                  Literally all they were able to muster in 20 long years is launch weak rockets that hit nothing and a few terrorist attacks against civilians, and every time Israel beats the shit out of them in retaliation. Their existence is literally a net a negative on the Palestinian population because every time they instigate something new, it’s the Palestinian civilians that suffer.

                  It’s been just a bit over 2 years since Oct 7, 2023 when Israel started raining hell on Gaza… What has Hamas done to resist since? Seriously, tell me. I’m giving it to you because I don’t see it.

                    You are being obtuse.

                    Hamas and Israel are opposing factions in armed struggle.

                    Israel seeks occupation, apartheid, and genocide over Palestine.

                    Hamas fights for the liberation of Palestine from Israel’s barbaric oppression.

                    It should not seem complicated.

                    Because it’d mean you’re power tripping? You made a strawman argument and rightfully got told off for it, completely ignoring your own rule of “be respectful”. You have a responsibility as a mod of this community to be better than that.

                    At this point, I don’t think there is anything you can do that doesn’t make you look even more ridiculous.
