    Literally just yesterday, someone responded to a comment of mine about the peace deal “there is a genocide going on, they’re just freedom fighters” in reference to Hamas. LMAO

        Oh its a common sentiment on this site - that wasn’t the first, or second, or third, time someone has said something similar. There’s a common thing here where people look at a losing side and think it’s a cause worthy of their support

          I would say that the common sentiment is that Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations, but that doesn’t justify killing Palestinians indiscriminately.

            How long is your instance blocklist that this one left as a common sentiment?

              Are you seriously saying people being pro-Hamas is far greater than people just being against the killing of innocent people?

                Hard to tell, the latter ones are usually eerily quite or will deflect when pressed about the first one.

                    You were the first to claim that it is a common sentiment, burden of proof is on you mate.
