Comment on Through the Voice and Eyes of Hamas

I’m a child of a country colonized so many times they can’t be counted, which is currently in a state of war and deprivation due to ongoing colonial influence. I too was indoctrinated into this narrative lens at an early age, and know it’s merits and limits. The difference between us is that I have that perspective and more thanks to travel, study, thought, and friendships around the world. You on the other hand cling to it as a point of personal heritage because you enjoy the sensation of absolute righteousness. And that last part is why you’re impervious to discussion here.

And you say this based on what ? I do travel and have friends from all around the world and of different religions . My field of study is language didactics and do programming as a hobby. You aren’t special.

What ? My points are based on real history of my own country. Delegitimizing the fight for freedom is the first thing the colonizer did. Bringing someone to delegitimize the freedom fighters was done repeatedly. Hamas are palestine freedom fighters. When palestine is free, Palestinians will choose how to handle hamas which consist of broken mens who lost their children and wives or orphans, survivors of isreali strikes.

Freedom fighters will do what they need to do to free their country. My country freedom fighters weren’t saint since forcing freedom from the colonizer require doing a nasty things you may call WAR and now thanks to them we are free.

Tldr; acting like both sides are horrible when one side is literally commiting genocide toward the other isn’t the smartest take.
