      Dude, setting aside what we think of Hamas, I wasn’t talking about Hamas, I was talking about people in America protesting against genocide being branded as terrorist sympathizers.

        Are you not aware that the specific protestors she was responding to were actually flying Hamas flag and spray painting pro-Hamas messages on statues and things. It was bad.

          Aside from the fact that she’s clearly using it as an opportunity to make it look like the entire protest (and perhaps all pro-Palestine protest) took such a tact

          pro-Hamas messages

          If you mean “From the river to the sea” I swear to God

              That’s interesting. I clearly hadn’t been giving those protestors enough credit, but the corollary of that is that Kamala, while an absolute zionist bastard, was still generalizing but not nearly as aggressively as I thought (there are definitely a bunch of triangles). I underestimated the ability of westerners to cut through zionist concern-trolling, even if not all present can.

                  I said “setting aside what we think of Hamas” for a reason, if that helps you interpret my meaning, I’m just doing a bad job managing both impulsively responding after the conversation ran its course and also avoiding getting into a useless dispute about the main force of military resistance to an ongoing genocide.

                    Kamala herself doesn’t give a shit about Zionism except for what it provides to her campaign in the form of money.
