    Ok sure. But attacking and killing civilians in their homes, in the streets and in festivals isn’t exactly what I would call resisting oppression.

    Israël is a fascist, ethno-theocratic apartheid state that lost all it’s legitimacy with the current genocide they are perpetuating. But Hamas is a terrorist organization that needs to go. They are in no way helping nor represent Palestiniens in Gaza.

      There is no such as a “civilian” in an occupying colony. Half of “israelis” are military conscripts, and most of the other half are fascists and settlers just the same; there are very few people in the colony actually plotting/fighting against the state.

      By your logic, the Viet Cong, which used the same tactics (attacking villages, taking hostages, using tunnels and guerilla warfare) and the same goals (driving out foreign occupiers and reuniting their country) as Hamas, and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which (regardless of its intentions and goals) resulted in the deaths of thousands of Jews at the hands of the nazis similar to how Palestinians are being killed by “israel” now after the Oct 7 assault, were “terrorists” (whatever that even means).

      Hamas is the largest Palestinian armed resistance group (and was even directly elected by the people of Gaza at that) and deserves everyone’s support.
