    Hamas are the resistance in occupied Gaza. Resistance will always be labelled “terrorism” by the occupying force. Or would you disagree that the résistance in France under Nazi Germany occupation was preceived drastically different depending on which side you were on?

    And as for Iran, I think that if you’d be interested in helping them get over their regime, it has to come from within. Because if we look at Afghanistan, beside years of suffering, what has improved thanks to the western intervention?

      Show me another resistance group that invaded, kidnapped, tortured and murdered hundreds of concert goers. I’ll wait, go on.

        Show me another country occupying and oppressing people they see as animals.

        Unique circumstances lead to unique actions.

        But I think we can all agree that october 7 was not a good thing. Resistance shouls always be directed against the state, not civilians.

            I justify Palestinians defending themselves and revolting against their oppressors, I acknowledge their right resist, including armed resistance, but I do not think that civilian targets in any conflict are a good thing.

            So long story short, I think Palestinians are fully within their right when they pursue armed resistance, but I condemn harming civilians, no matter the party doing it.
