      I just took a look at the pinned article but didn’t see any pro Hamas tweets, just anti-zionist and pro Palestinian.

      Can you quote it for me, I admit I did kinda skim it.

      Well to be fully honest, freedom fighters and terrorists are the same thing, just from two perspectives. The average afghani villager probably won’t consider their current government terrorists, even if a large part of the western world does.

      One man’s terrrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

        An example of what you’re saying is the pkk in Turkey. Turkey calls them terrorists, while a lot of people still view them as a party fighting for freedom. But the pkk and it’s armed wing have never committed indiscriminate mass massacres of civilians. The endgoal of the pkk is also not the total destruction of the Turks, but rather the self determination of the Kurds.

        Hamas on the other hand has as endgame the total genocide of Jews and has no qualms in indiscriminately massacring civilians.

        About Hamas there is no nuance: they are genocidal terrorists.

        Yes, those freedom fighters bravely raped and murdered a music festival full of people for the glory of Palestinian freedom.
