Palestine

[Rev. Rye]

I’m sure she knows about how Israel’s a de facto apartheid state and how Palestinians have been given a raw deal for the last 75 years. I just think she doesn’t have sympathy for your particular perspective. The one that (rightly) gives a laser-focus on the atrocities Israel commits, but (wrongly) blows off anything Hamas does. The one that dismisses well-documented incidents Hamas caused by associating them with proven frauds. The one that, when confronted with Hamas’ charter that expressly states its genocidal aims, only responds going into Quranic Scholar mode and talking about how a particular Hadith cited in it is probably inauthentic.

As I’ve said before, two wrongs don’t make a right, especially when the wrongs in question are crimes against humanity.

The Hadith in the charter does not represent my beliefs, and it's a Hadith; not a Quranic verse.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but turning the other cheek is submissive, devastating and a betrayal to the civilians of Gaza who got barbecued by the neo-Nazi Israeli war machine,

The point about the hadith is just splitting hairs. My point is that, whether or not you think it's accurate, or whether or not I should have taken the couple to seconds to google the word "Muhaddith", Hamas, the organization you are refusing to condemn, DO think the Hadith in question is not only real, but important enough to them to put in their charter.

And I'm not even saying that the Palestineans should just turn the other cheek, especially with someone as stubborn as Bibi heading Israel. But there's something very fucking wrong with a mind that can't think of any options between "turn the other cheek" and "commit genocide."
