Five jailed for taking direct action against Israel’s war crimes in Gaza

When the problem is that Hamas only exists in the context of isreal's genocide of the palastinian people, yeah. Calling for their defeat is calling for a continuation of that genocide dumbass. Maybe if you hopped off your murder train for 5 seconds to consider the history of why a terrorist group like Hamas exists in the first place you might have a human thought on the matter. But that requires empathy. Empathy for a people who have been murdered, displaced, and put behind a wall. Empathy for a people you have been told your whole life are brainless, heartless, brown terrorists with no goal but the elimination of Jewish folk instead of what they really are. People. People who have been abused by a colonist state for 80 years, fighting back against that state in the only way they can anymore.

Hamas shouldn't exist, but Israel made the conditions where a group like Hamas will exist. And as long as the palastinians continue to exist and exist under apartheid, then Hamas or similar groups will continue to exist. This leaves you with 2 options. A. Give them their God damn land back and let them have their own independent state. B. Genocide.

Calling for anything other than option A is to call for genocide. Even if you don't see it that way, that's the reality of these situations. There's history to show this, it isn't the first apartheid state in existence. It isn't the first ever genocide. We know how this goes. And history will remember it as such.
