The flags of Hamas and Hezbollah were waved among the crowd of demonstrators during a march in New York City on Monday, reported the American right-wing media Freedom New TV (FNTV) and according to...
The ANC repeated its position that the armed struggle against the country’s white-ruled government, which began in 1960, was a just war and that civilians had not been deliberately targeted.
But the ANC statement said some of its guerrillas weren’t sufficiently trained and “were never thoroughly under the discipline of the ANC.”
Avoiding harming civilians was a deliberate modus operandi of the ANC, the same way that Hamas deliberately kidnapped civilians. They cannot be blamed for attacking military bases - they should be blamed for attacking that which was neither military bases nor infrastructure.
So the ANC gets all the benefit of the doubt (in hindsight of course. Not while it’s happening) but Hamas which is working with people that have been locked into a concentration camp for 20 years are all supposed to be angels. Was Hamas working with a well trained military while locked inside of their concentration camp having to plan a giant operation in utmost secrecy?
Hamas was far more disciplined than the American military was in Iraq during Oct7. All while having suffered far more aggression.
The kidnapping thing you can condemn but Hamas has no other option to get their own hostages out which are deep in israeli territory. And israel doing it was fine with everyone.
The real bad thing was some soldiers deliberately killing unarmed Israelis. But again the rate (civilian casualty %) at which that happened was far lower than almost any insurgency. You don’t get people risking their lives to invade concentration camp guardposts if they’re not very very angry.
