Below, the full text (so far as it’s visible) of the poster which so triggered our Democratic Libertarian Socialist. It’s pretty unexceptionable to anyone who isn’t a fascist loser, and indeed actually softpedals the issue somewhat.

HAMAS IS NOT YOUR ENEMY

Hamas was founded in 1987 as a Political, Social, and Militant resistance group with the goal of liberating Palestinian lands from illegal occupation.

Though Hamas expresses a religious ideology, they nevertheless maintain fraternal relations with secular parties like the PFLP and the DFLP.

In Palestine, Palestinian Christians and Samaritan Jews are not displaced nor targeted by Hamas; they are considered equal and valued citizens of Palestine. Conversely, Israel is indiscriminate in its bombing campaigns which negatively affect all of these groups which Hamas seeks to defend.

Hamas does not engage in illegitimate tactics that other world militaries do not also engage in. Claims of Hamas decapitating babies and raping women are completely unsubstantiated. Furthermore, Hamas is not designated as a terrorist organization by the majority of the world’s countries, including China, Russia, Switzerland, and Brazil.

“Hamas is a humane movement, which cares for human rights and is committed to the tolerance inherent in Islam as regards attitudes towards other religions […] It is possible for the members of the three religions Islam, Christianity, and Judaism to coexist in safety and security.” – Article 31 of the Hamas Charter

    I think my problem with that is the ideology of the person posting this if OP described correctly has far more in common with liberals and fascists than they do with genuine ultras of any strand.

    Even in the west the fickle western anarchists who on other days march against China for being “authoritarian” and condemn Russia and celebrate Ukraine are to my knowledge overwhelmingly pro-Palestine. Without even having to get into the whole “no-true-anarchist” fallacy debate this person seems like a social fascist.

      Yep, this person seems more like a generic “I’m kinda lefty” type than an actual anarchist. Which is basically what that sub has turned into these days – a haven for people who think even the DSA is too radical.
