True, may what is good overcome all else, but leftism has not had much of anything in the past while, I'm not an expert on political history but I would say the socialist organizations popping up are leftist wins, antifa, the zapatistas, the resurgence of leftist making information more easily accessible in the past few years,
Indeed. The problem is that leftism in American is not really powerfull. I hope the change in the political landscape will help.
Yeah bro this guy is cooked
Which seems logical with the growth of social media
Well, maybe it come from a bias of mine. And maybe due to the current social status of the left in french youtube media. Where the right is indeed declining.
As you said, people are leaning towards rights because they are simply fed up of the BS these are coming up with
Yes, and also because they do not care to really take a good look for what they are voting and the reality behind those measures. Being fed up doesn't prevent you from doing the right choice.
Hamas's deliberate attacks on civilians violate international humanitarian law (IHL) and cannot be justified as resistance. These actions are not legitimate forms of armed struggle but constitute grave breaches of IHL.
Yes they can.
A war crime doesn't transform you into a terrorist group. Just a reminder that Israel is currently hold responsible of A LOT of war crimes multiple crimes against humanity, a genocide. Remember that they used a bippers attack to create fear without taking children or innocent into consideration.
On this basis, Israel should be named a terrorist state. Which is a nonsense just as much as saying that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
War crime =/= terrorism. By transforming a resistance group into a terrorist one,
you are purposefully trying to negate the action of resistance itself.
Both sides committing war crimes does not justify either side’s actions.
Indeed. No one is saying that it does.
While you acknowledges Hamas’s war crimes, then you downplay their impact by framing them as a response to oppression.
No. it's just an historical fact. The action of hamas ARE the result of decades of oppressions. It's a result of the dehumanization of a population and where the group of resistance has no choice but anger and horror as a weapon.
You should watch that (I pinned the right timecode):
Nothing is downplayed. What hamas did is horrible, BUT it is also something that is the result of Israel's actions. It's easy to tell "you have the choice not to act without humanity" when you are not oppressed.
You are not oppressed, so you do not understand what it does. But trust me, spend 70 years under constant oppression and constant dehumanization by a country that treats you like animals and TELL ME that you will have the strenght to raise your children with humanity for the other country or even tell me that children will be able to be "human" with the oppressor.
Humanity and respect is a priviledge of the dominant mate. Once you will be able to understand that, you will understand why what you are saying is pure BS.
No degree of oppression excuses the deliberate targeting of civilians.
Understanding is not excuzing Einstein. Start edfucating yourself on history and the sociology of oppressions and then come back to me with your priviledged reflexions.
esignation of Hamas as a terrorist organization by multiple countries (e.g., the United States, the European Union) is not "propaganda" but a reflection of Hamas's track record of attacks on civilians. This is distinct from legitimate Palestinian resistance movements that adhere to international norms.
No. It's simply a point of view of colonizers from countries that are dominating right now. Nothing more.
If the Nazism was hegemonic in the world, ALL countries would call the french and Italian resistance "terrorist groups". Would they be legitimate in those wordings ? No. That's why it's important to never forget the context when we talk about oppressions.
The fact that a lot of countries are naming them a terrorist group doesn't mean it's justified and legitimate.
Hamas’s governance in Gaza has also been criticized for oppressive practices, including restricting dissent and harming its own civilian population.
Indeed, but it is again, not an argument.
The idea that resistance groups should be clean is a depoliticizing and neive vision of what resistance is.
Again, it's the vision of the colonizers and the dominant. The attack on the "purety" of a resistance group is perfectly inaudible when a population has been dehumanized for decades, oppressed and closed off from the world.
