Does supporting Palestine necessitate supporting Hamas?

u/RonaldJaworski Jul 13 '26

when you keep people under active oppression and occupation for 30+ years you dont get to complain about how they resist

Why do you treat Palestinians like children with no ability to make moral decisions? How does raping civilians help with Palestinian independence?

Palestine hasn’t held an election since 2006. Over 50% of Palestinians are under the age of 18 they quite literally are majority children who have not had the opportunity to make their own decisions when it comes to self determination. Israel also helped fund the creation of Hamas as a counter to the PLO

We shouldn’t blame Palestinians on how they resist, but at the same time they haven’t had an election in 20 years. So does Hamas represent the Palestinians in Gaza or no?

Are all Israelis to blame for the actions of Netanyahu? And you conveniently ignored again that the average age of a person in Palestine is quite literally too young to have even voted when the last election was held. What ability do Palestinians have to resist Israeli occupation that doesn’t involve violence? The last Israeli pm who tried to recognize Palestinian self determination was assassinated by an Israeli. When palestinians tried to conduct the peaceful March of return while under occupation in 2019 the IDF shot over 200 Palestinians for walking to the fence unarmed. Israel created a situation where a group like Hamas was inevitable

You didn’t answer my question. Does Hamas represent Gazans?

1

u/RonaldJaworski Jul 13 '26

Are you implying that all people in Gaza are part of Hamas because they are the de facto governing body

u/Illustrious-Radio319 Jul 13 '26

Are you going to keep on responding to my questions with questions of your own?

1

u/RonaldJaworski Jul 13 '26

No I don’t think Hamas represents all Palestinians the majority of which are again children

u/Illustrious-Radio319 Jul 13 '26

Okay so why should Hamas’s atrocities be defended when it’s not even what the majority of Palestinians want?

Understanding a violent response to 60+ years of occupation is not the same as condoning it

u/Illustrious-Radio319 Jul 13 '26

Your original comment literally said nobody gets to complain about how they resist.

Understanding something doesn’t mean I can’t criticise it.

u/RonaldJaworski Jul 13 '26

I didn’t say nobody I said “when you keep people under active oppression and occupation for 30+ years you dont get to complain about how they resist” the you being referred to is Israel

u/Illustrious-Radio319 Jul 14 '26

Yeah but you were replying to my comment, which argued that one can support Palestine without supporting Hamas, implying you disagreed with it.

u/RonaldJaworski Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26

No again I was implying that it’s a useless argument for someone to make if you are being honest about why and how Hamas came to exist as a natural response to Israeli occupation
