So many people running whataboutism interference for the apartheid regime in this thread π€¦
We get it! Nobody sane is saying that the atrocities of Hamas are excusable! That doesn't free the Israeli government from responsibility for their decades of oppression, genocide and systematic displacement of the Palestinian people, though.
If you live in a country ran by terrorists and you support said terrorists, donβt be surprised when you get labeled as a terrorist.
So I guess that would make all Americans fascists from 2017 to 2019 at the earliest? π
Newsflash: there's absolutely no proof that Hamas enjoy majority support, let alone the universal support you seem to assume. If they did, they'd probably have had an election much more recently.
Their argument is terrible, but it would actually apply better to Americans than Gazans, because at least Americans have some freedom of travel. (Of course, most couldn't just emigrate to Canada or Mexico due to many issues, the biggest of which is money, but they wouldn't be held back by the USA because they were never granted a birth certificate, for example.)
