Linkerbaan is generally less skeptical of Hamas claims and motivations than they probably should be, but calling them pro-Hamas is definitely ridiculous. Signed, someone who clashes with Linkerbaan a lot.
Yeah that was my feeling too. I think there is a push to label people as "pro Hamas" to cast doubt on people they don't like. As if calling the US response to 9/11 over the top means you support Al Qaeda.
But of course if the person had a valid reason for saying this I would be happy for them to explain it to me
Every Palestinian is Hamas. Every hole in the ground is a Hamas Tunnel. Every critic of Israel is pro-Hamas
Those are the foundations of every single piece of Israeli Propaganda out there, directly or indirectly.
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world standard of evidence is...flimsy at best. If something aligns with their narrative, a declaration or statement from an important elected politician is all that is necessary for proof. I fail to see the need to engage with individuals who's standard for evidence is lower than the Mariana trench. But then again, that's par the course for most discourse on social media. Evidence is...just a nasty sidenote you need from time to time to uphold the narrative you've already formed.
I still wouldn't call that pro-Hamas.
