Comment on Does anybody actually care that a dude chanted "Death, Death to the IDF" at Glastonbury?
Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoAfter seeing what isreal is doing, Hamas doesnt seem so bad. The only thing I heard about them to begin with was that they launched a supposedly unprovoked attack on isreali citizens and kidnapped several. Well, in retrospect, yeah, kinda seems jusitifed.
I don’t actually support Hamas, I just don’t know anything about them. But at this point I know theyre fighting isreal so that makes them at least not the worst people involved in this conflict.

Hamas and the IDF are joint worst people involved in this conflict. As usual it’s the regular people who suffer.
Hamas is a fundementalist Islamist group. Their charter states the role of women is to raise men, and rejects notions of sexual equality as being introduced by foreign “saboteurs”. It also runs through the boring old antisemitic tropes with claims that Jews were the instigators of the French Revolution, WWI and Russian Revolution, and that Jews control the UN. It also claims that the “Jewish plan” is contained within the hoax The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Hamas enforces strict sharia law. As such, they torture and kill homosexuals, even if they’re their own decorated commanders. Some Hamas members raped male Israeli hostages before themselves being tortured and executed for the crime (not the rape)
It rejects secularism and intends for a Palestinian state to be governed by strict adherence to Islamist laws.
