Hamas and the GOP are both terrorist groups — it's just a matter of degree

Most Americans understand the truth about Donald Trump and his followers: They're deranged, violent and dangerous
Israel is an apartheid state
Doesn't change that Hamas is a terrorist group. They're literal militarized islamofascists.
These are the MENA equivalent of if the OneSixers were composed entirely of paramilitary hate groups.
It's almost like, for once, both sides are bad for real.
The Israeli government and Hamas are both terrorist forces, and the people among their civilizations (at least those that do not support them) deserve better than them
Middle East is such a clusterfuck tbh. Mfers are wasting their potential to have a union like EU.
Two things can be true at once.
Whataboutism at its finest.
To protect the most discriminated ethnic group on earth.
There's a reason why Evangelical groups this week are making a big new push on the Republican Party to promote politicians that are as massively pro-Israel as possible.
They are salivating for the apocalypse to happen.
Israel's apartheid regime is terrorism
They're basically committing blood libel by lying about decapitated babies. Their settlers paint the star of David on Palestinian homes to intimidate them into leaving the way Germans or Americans would paint swastikas on the homes of Jews. It's beyond terrorism, Palestine has no exit route and no endgame. Israel is the fourth reich.
yeah, but that wasn't the Topic here?
i swear to god, why is the go-to answer in these Topics always "but what about x?!"
Why are you bringing up X, formerly known as Twitter?
The headline is framed to make us forget Israel and the daily humanitarian abuses it commits by using the "GOP==bad" duopoly logic to reinforce the liberal readership's worldview.
If Hamas use terror, if the GOP uses terror, then what of Israel? Is apartheid not a form of terrorism? Was Jim Crow not a form of terrorism?
It's just a matter of location*
FTFY
So is the Likud.
35°E or 81°W
so is the israeli government
And their supporters
it's like the circle of life gop funds israel who funds hamas whose actions drive fear fundraising to the gop
It’s just the matter of color
FTFY
What do you mean? The USA has plenty of people of co-oh…
Last night I was thinking how what is going on with Isreal-Palestine is exactly what the fundies in DC want, they couldn't have it better. Tons of Jews and Muslims are going to die horribly and also they will probably get an Isreal that's up to their apocalyptic standards and even a third temple and whatever else it is they want for their prophecies.
Third temple?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Temple
TL;DR: The Dome of the Rock, an Islamic temple, is in the place where some fundie Christians and Jews want to build a temple because it says so in some texts that are 1000s of years old because they think it will make Jesus come back or the Messiah come.
GOP are deranged, violent and dangerous. Don't join them by making bullshit statements. The GOP is not a terrorist group, and there are enough international terrorist groups around to make it worth it to not devalue the term.

Seems like we are all guilty to some degree.
Didn’t read the article. Probably even agree with it. But what a conflation of ideologies. It’s like someone started their doctoral thesis and switched midstream. Maybe Likud and the GOP would be better.
Comparing the GOP to Hamas.. wow, you idiots really have gone off the deep end...

Actually the Saudis were part of the problem there
"Daddy's War" started because Saddam made no secret of his intentions to annex KSA's Gulf regions at the minimum once he was finished chewing on Kuwait.
Yeah, Israel is the better comparison. Both want an authoritarian government that will exterminate the minority they don't want around. Both like to use the violence of the system to do it, but aren't afraid to let the MIC bomb them to bits
"Slow the testing down, please."
Trump should he in the fucking Hague.
Seriously this is one of the stupidest takes I've seen lately, and I've seen a lot of stupid takes this week.
