That's just their PR to the west For them, just like the zionists, it's purely a religious contest permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago* So you think the Hamas Charter, an Arabic-language document, was made entirely for western PR? Also, religion is orthogonal to Zionism; most Zionists are American Christians like Joe Biden. Israel is a settler-colonial project first and foremost, and religion is simply a tool it uses for that purpose. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago yeah hamas sucks. it's important to understand though why people are turning to hamas right now: it's that, or die. so there are a lot of people with hamas right now who don't hate jews, but are fighting alongside or even under a terrorist group who does genuinely and deeply suck. permalink fedilink source parent
