Says the fellow carrying water for the regime that kicked this all off nearly 80 years ago
How old do you think I am?
It is a distinctly fascist trope to use history books as a justification for present day violence and authoritarian rule. There are right now Russians dying in Ukraine to restore a Soviet Empire that never existed in their lifetime.
Do you think the ethnic makeup of a region should be restored to how it was before any of us was born? I think if a person was born in a place they have a right to continue to live there. More than 80% of of Israelis were born in Israel. So they have a right to live there, no matter what happened in the past. Thinking a baby should be judged for events of 100 years ago is why atrocities like October 7 occur.
Hamas has very fascistic blood and soil style beliefs where their ethnicity is entitled to remove people of other ethnicities from a region because the history books say they weren't there a hundred years ago or whatever. They coat this with a thin veneer of religion (as fascists often do) but at the heart of Hamas is a fascist ideology.
We're seeing these fascist beliefs spread into the west. It's an odd thing where people claim to be leftist but support a fascist organization in another part of the world. This puts into question whether leftism in the west is actually leftism, or just fascists in socialist clothing. It's fairly common in history for fascists to claim to be socialists. See National Socialism or present day China for examples.
But you’re not arguing earnestly or in good faith, anyway. If you were, you couldn’t crying about Hamas attacks and oppression of Palestinians while still defending Israel
You can't be crying about fascism while defending Hamas. Hamas is fascist, considering Hamas and Palestinians to be one and the same (which is something Netanyahu often does too BTW) is legitimizing fascism. I actually support Palestinians, but I see Hamas as a cancer, the same way I see all fascist movements. You're trying to spread the cancer, which is obviously harmful to Palestinians. I want both Netanyahu and Hamas gone. Because they both have fascistic character and neither respect the right of people to live where they were born.
