    A nice quote from the FUCKING CHARTER of Hamas “ The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: 0 Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! “

    The organization is designed around genocide. You play with the idea that everyone is equally bad- that because the U.S. has done terrible things then all terrible things are equal. But Hamas was founded with the goal of eliminating a population. It’s not a fucking resistance movement fighting for survival- it’s a terrorist organization intended to wipe out another population.

    How you equivocate the two is beyond me. If the Declaration of Independence had a line describing the death of Mexico or Canada then sure. But only one group has specifically called for the elimination of the a population- and that’s Hamas of the Jews.

      1- Israel has been killing Palestinians and stealing their lands decades before Hamas was even a thing.

      2- Yes, the US is much much much worse than Hamas since they invaded several countries and killed millions of innocent civilians, they’re even the only country to ever nuke another country, so yeah, the US is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than any other entity on Earth, it’s probably a tie with Israel too.

        Your response is nothing but theatrics and exaggeration. The US worse than North Korea, where no free will or choice exists? Or how about china, with ongoing Uyghur concentration camps? Or nazi Germany and the holocaust?

        This is not to say the US is blameless- it’s to say that there are degrees of evil- and founding your organization on the death of someone else puts you at bottom of the barrel, by default.

          How many innocent civilians has North Korea killed compared to the US? How many countries have they invaded?

          founding your organization on the death of someone else puts you at bottom of the barrel, by default.

          I agree, and since the US was built on annihilating native Americans and stealing their lands, they are at the bottom of the barrel. Glad we finally agreed on that.
