The way y’all are so eager to equate Hamas raping, kidnapping, and murdering civilians to the plight of Ukraine when Russia is literally the Hamas in this situation  the cognitive dissonance is real!

 

 

Anyways, I’ll continue to support both Ukrainians and Palestinians without glorifying Russia or Hamas.

How is Russia the Hamas of the situation if they're defending their territory (and its people) that's been occupied for 75 years??? You can disagree with the methods they're implementing (I do), but they are not the occupying force trying to murder a less powerful people into submission. You acted a lot more diplomatic in that other thread and went all kumbaya, let's all go into DMs and have meaninful conversations, only to turn around and make the most idiotic comparisons ever elsewhere.

Pages of comments of people being outraged at a "not wanting to be associated with a terrorist organization" joke  

 

Istg ATRLers can't keep pretending that this isn't just antisemitism after reading this thread.

ATRL being offended over a terrorist organization being mocked was not on my bingo card for 2023, but here we are. It’s giving when the far right MAGA crowd was constantly offended by SNL making fun of them  Alas, in the real world; people can support Palestinians without glorifying Hamas.

I hope European ATRLers who make disingenuous posts like this realize the propaganda is not working and it just is becoming clearer how deeply rooted white supremacy is rooted in the heart, mind and soul of your average European national. 

 

The contorting and willful ignorance over the fact that the deaths of hundreds of Ukrainians in the immediacy of the invasion was met almost instantly with widespread mourning - to where even SNL did a literal candlelight vigil - while a month of carpet bombing and over 10,000 Palestinians can only force out of the SNL writers some quirky joke to be seen as culturally relevant.

 

We get it. European lives matter more than non-European lives. Christian lives matter more than Muslim lives. 

You don't consider Palestinians to be humans because your rhetoric argues 1 Israeli is worth 1,000 Palestinian lives. Own that.

Ukrainians are not dying because their government decided to invade Russia. Palestinians are dying tragically-

Why? Why have over 100,000 Palestinians been killed by Israel over the last 75 years? Explain. What is the difference between Russia saying there was never a Ukraine and Israel saying there was never a Palestine? What is the difference between the expansionist policies? You're a fraud and should genuinely feel bad deciding this is how you want to spend your time online. 

 

Cosplaying as a freedom fighter then suddenly deciding geopolitics is ~complicated~ despite yourself *3* years ago not knowing anything about Israel, based on your own posts on this forum, and even yourself saying it seemed Israel looked like a genocidal apartheid state. 

 

There's literally no other explanation for someone to post as much of what is objectively wrong misinformation as you continue to do besides that you've decided "West (White) = Best" and whatever side you view as against that whiteness to be in the wrong. 

 

There is literally NO MATERIAL REALITY where Ukrainians and Israelis are of a shared struggle besides a reality ROOTED IN SKIN COLOR. 

ISRAEL LITERALLY SIDED WITH RUSSIA IN THE INITIAL MONTHS OF THE INVASION AND WANTED TO HOARD MILITARY SUPPLIES!! 

THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT DOES NOT EVEN SEE ITS "STRUGGLE" AS ONE COMPARABLE TO THE UKRAINIANS THEY VIEW BENEATH THEM!

Yeah It's a funny joke. If you are made for a joke about Hamas there Is still that Hamas fan base thread in the forum when you people can stay safe 

[oscarscheller]

I mean.. I too wouldn't want to seem like I am supporting HAMAS the organization. I relate with people who go out and March for the Palestinian people, but this skit is nothing different than saying HAMAS is bad and does not represent the entirety of the Palestinian people.

[truthteller]

Not this thread is full of Russian, Hamas and IDF stans. I’m screaming 

[diboy]
