    AOC prescribes to the idea that Hamas is exclusively a terrorist group.

    Question honestly from a place of ignorance: is it not?

    I don’t know much about that group other than the attack a couple years ago. I do know that IDF is a terrorist org because they’re currently committing a genocide.*

    Hamas is the government of the Gaza strip. They have a military and they do military operations. If you call them terrorists, you might hold that same opinion about other governments

    i don't consider Hamas to be a legitimate government since they haven't held any elections in Gaza since 2006, nor do they provide services or international negotiations. Fatah, comparatively, is a legitimate government but lacks the ability to resist Israeli genocide

    I think this might be a legitimate use of “both sides” but I don’t know enough about them to say for sure.

    Terrorism is just a propaganda word for common military strategies, which "civilized" nations like to pretend they don't do.

    EVERY nation with a military is automatically a terrorist organization by definition. That's literally the primary job of the military - to terrify the opponent into surrendering, or not getting froggy in the first place.

    Because fascists don't care about the law? What even is this question?

    The party line is that he is a terrorist. It is implied by the arrest, not by the tweet.

    They never implied that he's a terrorist, only that he supports terrorists.

    Arresting him says otherwise.

    I know they think he's a terrorist, but I just wanted to point out that technically the tweet never actually calls him a terrorist or Hamas or anything of the sort. It's more of a minor nitpick than anything.
