Also the comment at the bottom is criticizing both IDF and Hamas.
I mean second there absolutely is not news… donno what rule 1 is, but this doesn’t seem that crazy
Saw a great article that was critical of the Uyghur labour camps and their relevance to China’s dominance in cheap tech just silently disappear from Worldnews@lemmy.world the other day. I don’t know how to find the modlogs, and I’ve been wondering about that ever since. I expect that kind of shit from the fascist triumvirate instances but I found myself wondering who has their thumb in the .world pie.
I was banned from an .ml instance for criticizing both Hamas and Israel. You’re not allowed to say anything that goes against the narrative in .ml. They act just like the authoritarian states they jerk off to.
I consider myself a socialist but shit like this is an absolute deal breaker. Both Hamas and Israel have fucked over the Palestinian people, as far as I can tell. I’m completely open to the possibility that Hamas is a good organization but I have yet to see any evidence of that.
The thing about the common move of “israel and hamas are both bad” is that imo you should always add the qualifier of “But also Hamas is used as a cover and justification for Israeli atrocities, and also likely would be either significantly weakened or not exist at all if it were not for the ongoing genocide of palestinians.”
Makes sense. Israel is certainly significantly worse than Hamas, and Hamas only exists as a reaction to the crimes of Israel. Saying “both sides” sounds like one is arguing that their crimes are equal. They’re not even close.
But I look at the actions of Hamas on October 7 and I struggle to see how they’re doing anything other than making everything worse. I don’t know what they should be doing, but what they have done just isn’t it.
