If only people could understand the basic concept that hating a government is possible without hating the people living there.

One of my favorite quotes:

If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.  - Marjane Satrapi

Different situation, same idea.

Exactly. Hamas is a monstrous organization based on the most corrupted religious fundamentalism, but I have nothing but love for the people of Gaza.

Reminder that Hamas is widely supported by most Palestinians

53% of Palestinians believe Hamas is "most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people"

Israel claims to be a democracy and also commits genocide.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone -1 points 11 months ago

  1. Democracy and genocide are separate

  2. Israel is by definition obviously not committing genocide, the Palestinians population is only going up
