Are these Hamas supporters in the room with us at the moment?
They’re not in any room, because they don’t actually exist.
This is false.
There are a lot of people who are afraid to say they support Hamas, because they know that this is something to be ashamed of, and might be illegal in their area.
And according to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas (reduced for TL;DR):
- Allies
- State allies:
- Afghanistan
- Algeria
- Iran
- Qatar
- Syria (until 2011, again since 2022)
- Turkey (partly)
- Venezuela
- Non-state allies:
- Hezbollah
- Islamic Jihad
- State allies:
Is North Korea in this Lemmy right now?

Hamas supporter comment: https://lemmy.one/comment/5470637
The comment you linked:
Fuck Israel, they need to end the apartheid, but that does not mean I support terrorism or sexual assault. You dense cabbage
How exactly is that supporting Hamas?
“Hamas called me a cabbage!”
The IDF initialize phone calls, text messages and send leaflets before targeting military targets across the Gaza Strip to dismantle the Hamas terrorist organisation.

I also feel sorry for these people to have terrorist military cells in their buildings.
Does anyone calls, sends messages or leaflets to Israeli citizens (including non-jews) before attacking them? No, because THEY are the target.
Hamas has maybe a few million dollars worth of weapons and military hardware and some dumb rockets they aim in the general direction of Israel … they’re also capable of launching a minor military invasion that can kill 1,200 Israelis … compared to Israel which has nuclear weapons, the support of the world’s largest military, the support of the world’s military corporations and billions of dollars of funding support that lead to the deaths of 17,000 people (and counting).
Israel can spend a few decades steadily terrorizing Palestinians by penning them up in an open prison and limiting their resources and killing them on a regular basis … about 3,000 Palestinians over the past 15 years … compared to 200 Israelis in the same time period.
This is like saying someone took revenge for the killing of their sister … by slaughtering the family of the murderer, his neighbours, and a few extended family members as retaliation.
There are bad actors on both sides … a third party should step in to cease hostilities … negotiate everything and stop the death and killing. This isn’t medieval Europe … the world can figure out how to resolve a modern dispute no matter how complicated, deadly or difficult it is … it’s just a matter of convincing world leaders to stand up, take responsibility, hold everyone accountable and do something to resolve all this.
Continued bombing, shooting, killing and indiscriminate violence will not resolve anything and will only make the situation worse for everyone on all sides.
