Eh, the IDF is a terrorist group too, so Israel isn't off the board.
Hamas is not a terrorist group, the IDF is. What the fuck is it with this both sides bullshit?
They both can be, but Hamas is a terrorist organization that has committed terrorist attacks. Al Qaeda is terrorist group and committed many terrorist attacks, but the U.S. war on terrorism killed and displaced many innocents in Afghanistan, Iraq and other middle eastern countries.
Yeah, according to the US and Israel—which, I cannot stress enough, are terrorist states—Hamas is a terrorist organization, but that does not make it so. Western governments and Western corporate media can designate anyone to be anything, but that doesn’t make it so. They are not the arbiters of truth, they are propagandists for empire.

Sure two groups can both be bad. That doesn't make Hamas and Hazbollah saints.
