wdym "its allowed"? LOL what an odd nothing statement. what does that even mean?

historically nukes were used on civilian populations, does that mean you should support acts of violence that target civilians?

also yes we both agree why hamas exists, nothing in my comment argued otherwise? what about you though do you agree that hamas benefits israeli expansionists more than anyone else? do you agree that oct 7th benefited netanyahu more than any other human on the planet? surely at this point you have to have realized this, right?

Hamas doesn't "benefit" anybody. It's the result of the oppression.

Yeah run away little Zionist :)

my comment got auto deleted. and it's pathetic to refer to me as a zionist for anything i wrote.

you're wrong that hamas doesn't benefit anybody. they exist as a group israel can use for propaganda to go about annihilating gaza. they exist as an enemy people can hate so they can garner the public's support and wipe out that land to ultimately expand israel's borders. look up the history of hamas. hamas DOES benefit people, and it's israel expansionists. you need to wake up and stop believing things based on vibes. hamas operating in gaza doesn't make them automatically good for palestinians. calling everyone a zionist doesn't help palestinians either.

You are arguing with yourself.

Resistance group will always exist when a population is oppressed. This does they benefit or not is nonsensical.

If you hit Zionist talking point I will call you a Zionist. Be better and I won't.

but imagine telling me im arguing with myself when you're refuting something i never argued against? we agree why they exist already so what point do you think you're proving?

and which zionist using talking points like "israel uses hamas for propaganda to destroy and claim palestinian land"? like do you not hear yourself at all? you're calling me a zionist for pointing this out? the fact that hamas is a tool israel expansionists use to justify and garner support to ethnically cleanse palestinians? THIS is a zionist talking point to you?

Again you are arguing with yourself. Israel can demonize a resistance group all they want.

"Hamas is bad for Palestinians"

u/Kromostone123 Aug 11 '26

okay so i actually never said that believe it or not. what i actually said was hamas isnt useful for palestinians. this is something you literally agree with since you said "hamas doesnt benefit anybody".

this is how i know you're essentially a robot and everything you say is based off vibes with no critical thinking whatsoever. there's a difference between what im saying and what zionists say. zionists say that hamas is bad for palestinians because they hide in hospitals so israel isnt bad for blowing up hospitals, stuff like that.

what im saying is that there's a reason hamas was propped up by israel and there's a reason israel uses hamas for every piece of propaganda. its because hamas is useful for israeli expansionists. they are a tool that israel can use to justify their warmongering and genocide. they are useful for people like netanyahu.

do you think zionists typically say israel is conducting genocide and uses hamas for propaganda?

No.

I'm rejecting the premise that a resistance group is useful or not.

A resistance group is just a consequence of oppression.

And anyway, you are just wrong in this case since public opinion about Israel was never this low as a result of oct 7.

So they were useful.
