Hassan never denied that the murder of civilians during october 7 is wrong

    Yeah fair enough. I think Hamas and Israel are both run by bad people with blood on their hands, although yes it looks like Israel currently has more blood on their hands, since they have killed far more civilians since October 2023 than Hamas has.

    Do you think hamas still have the right to fight the colonial army despite the attrocities they commited?

    I think if they were fighting the IDF and not harming civilians that would be better. And I also think things would be better if Israel were to stop harming Palestinian civilians, stop colonising the West Bank, recognise the state of Palestine, and have productive relations with Palestine.

    It was a yes or no question. Does hamas lose the right to resist colonization by targetting the occupation force because of the atrrocities it commited during october 7?

    Okay I will answer the question differently. No I don't think Hamas does "lose the right to resist" because of Hamas killing civilians. But I still think killing civilians is wrong, and preferably war crimes (such as harming civilians) should have legal consequences, whether those crimes are committed by Israelis, or Palestinians, or anybody.

    Edit: just to clarify, when it comes to "the right to resist", I don't think that includes the right to harm civilians. But if Hamas were to attack IDF infrastructure and try to push the IDF out of Palestine then I could see the case for that. If it's acceptable for Israel to use weapons to defend Israeli territory then it should be equally acceptable for Palestinians to use weapons to defend Palestinian territory.
