  • I think we’re more or less on the same page here. I don’t refer to the Israeli forces as terrorist for the same reason I don’t refer to the Russian army as terrorist, as they are both a state organization.

    By that definition, if, (and it does seem to be the case) Hamas is the legitimate political lead of Palestine, that does make the ‘terrorists’ the ‘Palestinian forces’.

    I also agree the label of ‘terrorist organisation’ is heavily politicised as ‘terrorist’ and ‘rebel’ are relative labels.

    We’re on the same page here, the difference being the extent of emotional investment each of us may have.


  • Are you suggesting that Hamas has suddenly redeemed themselves and are now, no longer internationally recognised terrorists, and instead are resistance fighters?

    Are they both?

    I don’t deny that the people of Palestine have the right to self determination, and all human rights as is to all people.

    But to conflate Hamas as the same as all Palestinians is a slippery slope.

    It is indeed shameful and more needs to be done to completely rein in what the Israeli forces are doing. That however, does not change the nature of Hamas as an organization that is themselves also bent on committing genocide against Israel. They were literally want to genocide each other. One side is just more capable.

    Hamas can be serving their own agenda and appear as resistance fighters through their action. But when the dust clears, you can be sure their manifesto is far from noble. They are as intolerant as the Israeli forces are right now.

    The people of Palestine are caught in the middle and the cycle of hate and pointing continues.
