"Do you denounce the actions of Hamas?"
"Do you denounce the actions of Hamas?"
If you are ever asked this question, or any variation of it, by someone who supports Israel, do not dignify it with an answer.
It is nothing but an attempt to distract from the obvious fact that for the best part of a century the Palestinian people have been living under the boot of an oppressive apartheid regime that is guilty of crimes that far exceed anything Hamas could ever even dream of committing.
Do not give the zionist fucks an inch.
I don't denounce a god-damn thing
Israel says that the Palestinians are "human animals;" that's exactly backwards. Animals are what they want. Docile cattle who will allow themselves to be penned up, half-starved, whipped, branded, and culled by ol' Farmer Zion.
Standing up, breaking the fence, and fighting back is exactly what proves the Palestinians are still human, despite Israel's best efforts to the contrary.
A little bit to my surprise, ol' Norman Finkelstein, in his media appearances since this latest development in the occupation, has refused to condemn Hamas. In his interview with Chris Hedges yesterday, he explained this decision with reference to slave revolts in the US, John Brown, and the Haitian revolution. I think it's a sound comparison.
Look, if Jeremy Corbyn can still piss off literally every single rightist on the planet by refusing to dignify this question with an answer, so the fuck can you.
“No and I don’t denounce the IRA either”
It’s all pretty much the same argument about the IRA, religious ideological differences with Hamas aside. Yes of course I support the IRA. Innocent people losing their lives is a tragedy, absolutely. And 100% of the blame falls on the UK colonizers, not the IRA though.
I denounce Hamas for not being similar enough to the PFLP and I denounce the PFLP for not being as strong as Hamas.
I denounce Hamas for not making it all the way to the River.
Master class in subverting the "will you condemn Hamas?" question:
I denounce their failure to eliminate Genocide Joe
in the pretty shitty Andrew Whatsisname video where he goes to a palestine rally in america somewhere, he lets organizers and other people talk and they're all good but then of course he has to bothsides it by letting some israeli rapper dudebro speak as well.
said dudebro turns to the organizer and asks "do you denounce hamas tho" and she's like "not the right question to ask right now" and he's not having it. then he goes on to ask the camera "what if your cute sister was at a music festival..."
so an otherwise OK segment where people get to voice actual shit gets overshadowed by dudebro essentially drowning them out with fart noises. and half the comments predictably are "oh she didn't engage with him in the marketplace of ideas, the left can't comprehend this nuanced and complex issue"
"Not nearly as much as I denounce the actions of Isreal and the United States."
"no"
What did mushed garbanzo beans ever do to you?
“I think more fucking crackers should have died on 9/11 including you bitch death to America” is my answer uwu
Denounce deez nuts
No, and I never will say otherwise
do not dignify it with an answer.
I will.
If hamas is the root of all evil, then why is the same thing happening in the west bank which is hamas-free? It’s literally a tacit used by imperialists to shut down criticism, its only okay to criticize IF you play by MY rules.
My response is "why"
Permanently Deleted
No, I encourage them
Would you not uphold and glorify the attempts of an oppressed people struggling to achieve freedom from an apartheid state?
no?
What if they were wearing powdered wigs?
I denounce bad guys and endorse good guys. Don't be such a silly goose; it's really that simple.
“They shall not be mentioned like Voldemort”
Libs nod
Fuck it, at this point might I want to do the opposite, but for some reason "renounce Hamas" means roughly the same thing.
"Yeah lmao"
Fuck nah, lmao
Of course I denounce Hamas, they're no better than Nelson Mandela.
I always answer this question with an unquestionable “no I do not denounce Hamas”
I would not denounce black South Africans for rising up against apartheid, I would not denounce Jewish people for rising up against the Nazis in WWII, and I will not denounce the Palestinian people for rising up against their apartheid government.
I worship an altar of blood, so naturally, yes
Why would I condemn an organization propped up by Israel at the request of a Zionist?
