Libs: “THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION THAT THERE’S GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG, AND IF YOU DARE TO BRING UP THE LACK OF EVIDENCE OF ANY SORT OF ABUSE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS YOU’LL GET BANNED!!!”

Also libs: “Didn’t you know that 15k of the 40k humans murdered in Gaza were actually terrorists? it-is-known Also, lots of civilians die in wars like the one happening in Gaza, it’s sad but inevitable”

    You did, though. You took an anti-Hamas stance, condemning them for October 7th, without providing any analysis of what they should have done otherwise in your opinion.

    You could have just as easily said “I am uninformed on the subject and refrain from speaking on it until I am,” and that would have been better.

        I did. You said Israel was committing genocide, but “2 wrongs don’t make a right.” The conclusion is, therefore, that a hundred hostages against a genocidal oppressor is equivalent to a century of settler-colonial genocide.

        This is nonsense, unless you believe Muslims to be worth less than Israelis.

              Not really. I observe actions and observe response. Hamas acted by abducting 251 people from different parts of the world due to Palestinian oppression in Gaza, and it’s been like that ever since WWII where the allies supported a Jewish state in the Israel region and then pretended like giving uprooted people Gaza was enough even though zionists want and currently are taking all the land to the Med under the claim “It’s our holy land. We had it first”

                So then take a firm stance supporting Palestinian liberation and dissolution of the Zionist entity. Refuse to say “two wrongs don’t make a right” and recognize that oppressed peoples have the right to use violence against their oppressors, especially when all other paths are exhausted and in the face of active genocide.
