    Funny how when it comes to Israeli extremists we all discuss nuance and how complicated and messy politics and language is but when it comes to extremists in resistance organizations it’s immediately assumed that what they say colours the entire resistance.

          Lol it’s always so fun that they’ll speak in code but never acknowledge the actual abhorrence of the things they support.

              Everyone who supports Hamas, like the poster above is doing by referring to them as a “resistance group” with “a few radicals.”

      That’s because they’re politicians in a political structure where different views exist and matter.

      As opposed to a group of insurgents where their level of extremism is irrelevant. If you’re a part of the group willing to resort to mass murder and kidnapping you’re in the “too extreme” group already.

      Asking for a nuanced view of “resistance fighters” is like asking for a nuanced view of serial killers, they’re all a problem. Trying to identify which serial killer did it for the correct reasons or doesn’t really want to kill people but does anyways is a ridiculous concept.

        So mass arrests of protestors and holding them without charge is what?

        And they’re literally committing genocide in front of your eyes.

        At what point do you figure it out?
