They're whatabouting the fact that Hamas do, in fact, represent the views of most Palestinians. Comparing them to the Aboriginal tribes is a grave insult to the latter.
Imagine only supporting oppressed peoples when they don't fight their oppressors.
If your support is conditional you are not supporting.
A bunch of teenagers at a music festival are not "their oppressors".
A bunch of rich kids partying on land pissing distance from the walls erected to lock in 2 million Palestinians, which was stolen from those Palestinians grandparents, are most definitely the fucken oppressors here mate.
Especially when you throw in compulsory military service
Or, as the Bolshevik who bayoneted the Romanov children put it, “nits grow up to be lice”
OK, wow.
It wasn't stolen from them, what is currently Israel was British territory prior to ww2.
Administered by Britain but owned by Palestinians
@Ilovethebomb @0ddysseus
And Britain never stole anything from anyone, right?
If you go back far enough with that line of reasoning, you end up back at Jewish territory anyway.
So really, they just gave it back to the original owners.
Oh I suppose then it should be given back to the native British then.
