(67,078 posts)Hamas is a terrorist organization that should be wiped out to its last member, but that has nothing to do with Bibi's ongoing campaign of deliberate mass murder of civilians.
The number of people defending Hamas on DU is vanishingly small, so it's intellectually dishonest (to put it kindly) to imply that "Israel defenders" (of which there are a great many) and "Hamas defenders" (of which there are almost none) are in some way equivalent or equally in the wrong.
What you're doing sounds like the standard lazy shorthand of equating Hamas and all Palestinians, which is simply a regurgitation of Bibi's genocidal gaslighting bullshit. The other side of that coin is to pretend that criticism of Bibi and the IDF is the same as attacking all Jews, which it obviously is not.
Bibi's defenders have nothing to offer but false accusations of antisemitism and baseless claims that the critics are pro-Hamas sympathizers.
