I know that expressing your opinion of the internet can get messy real quick. I personally don't intend to make it sound as though Hamas is the epitome of morality. But it doesn't sit right with me that people are misinformed about this matter even now and reduce it to the simple binary of Good and Evil, especially since it's most likely because of Israeli and Western propaganda.
Hamas are a brutal armed resistance movement born out of the First Intafada (1987-1993) due to dissatisfaction and disagreement with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). It's a nationalistic movement with the aim of Palestinian liberation from the Israeli occupation. And because Hamas has an Islamic identity and Isreal likes to present itself has a Jewish state first and foremost, they claim Hamas is anti-Semitism as they like to do to anyone who dares oppose them. This had been addressed by Hamas founder (Sheikh Ahmad Yasin) and the recent Hamas Carters as well.
Hamas are not aimless rabid dogs set on mindless slaughter. They have tactics and politics based on Guerilla warfare, as unethical and ruthless as they maybe. Since Isreal doesn't give a single damn about any Palestinian life, inflicting damage on Israeli civilians has been their tactic in hopes of being a deterrent or to pressure Israel into retreating or ending the occupation. But since October 7th we know that Isreal doesn't give a shit about its own people also in it's quest to obliterate Palestine.
After the Second Intafada (2000-2005) Hamas popularity only grew amongst the oppressed Palestinians as the Palestinian Authority (PA) failed to improve their conditions or even stop Israeli settler terrorism. In 2006, Hamas won the democratic election in Gaza and West Bank and the US and Isreal just responded by attempting a regime change. They were successful in West Bank but failed in Gaza which was under Hamas' control by 2007. Using this as an excuse as always Isreal then made their existing blockaid on Gaza airtight which was great for the Israeli endgame of displacing Gazans.
Since then Israel has enjoyed maintaining a vicious back and forth with Hamas. When things get really bad in Gaza Hamas fires some attacks at Israel, who then loves to respond with a completely disproportionate and massive assault which kill thousands. This has happened saveral times in 2008, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021. This isn't even counting the other mindless massacers Israel routinely commits.
The Israeli government literally likes to call it "Mowing the Lawn", grandstanding to the Israeli population as a show of strength. Helps them maintain control and power in Israel too.
Hamas has tried to hand over some ministries back to the PA since then to try to break this Israeli cycle of punishing Gaza's entire population using Hamas as an excuse. Hamas' 2017 charter had proposed going back to the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as the capital and the right to return for those displaced, which is very much in line with the UN policies but all such attempts have been opposed by Israel and the West.
Starting in 2018, the 2 year long unarmed Great March of Return was backed by Hamas but ended with 214 dead and 36,000 injured. Regardless of what tactic or policy Hamas has employed, they haven't been met with any genuine engagement. The West and Isreal had started to regard the Palestinian cause as lost and forgotten one. That's how we end up on the 7th of October horrible and ruthless nothing comes out of nowhere.
No matter how you chose to look at it or how you feel about it, Hamas' existence and it's popularity is because of its fight against the Israeli occupation.
Also while I'm on this topic I'd also just like to say anyone and I mean ANYONE who says "Hamas is ISIS" is either ignorant, blind to Western imperialism or just a Zionist.
Other than the usual recommendations, I would personally recommend the following off the top of my head in case you're interested in learning more about Hamas history in specific:
● Hamas Contained by Tareq Baconi (book)
● Uncivilized Media (Palestinian Youtube Channel)
Here's my layman's opinion, the standard of violence in an Apartheid or in an occupied territory is set but the Occupier. Those that are occupied only function in the reality of that level of violence of which they are being subjected to. It's the only reality they know and it's the only path forward they can see when all other paths have been violently slammed in their faces.
But regardless, I do think that claiming unquestioningly and immediately that Hamas has an express interest in harming Jews specifically (irrespective of where they are from) is falling into Israel's malicious propaganda of equating Zionism with Judaism. It's believing the notion that the Palestinians oppose Isreal not because they are Zionistic occupiers but simply because they are Jewish.
It's in human nature to resist dehumanization, occupation and to fight for survival. Often in such horrendous conditions that is the only way. Every oppressed population has given rise to armed resistance regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, etc.
Also... Sorry for the rant😅😶
I want Palestine to be free. But I also dread the slaughter of every Jew there. Please don't forget that Hamas leaders have said on multiple occasions that they want to genocide Jews there. An eye for an eye has never sat well with me. The murders of Palestinians are unforgivable, and Israel must be held accountable for decades of terror. The entire world will suffer if Palestine cannot be free. I don't know where the Jews in Palestine will go after this. I'm not a political expert. But. Any leader, any human, who calls for genocide is reprehensible. There are no exceptions.
Let the hate begin...

His name was Ahmed Al-Najjar. He was a year and a half old. He never even had a chance to grow old. Keep repeating his name even when Palestine is free so this never happens to another human ever again.

WE MUST RID COLONIAL POWERS!
(Sorry this wasn't an update but I believe that the use of platforms, however small enables new people to understand the depths of a situation.)
Make no mistake. Gaza IS under colonial rule. Gaza IS enduring war crimes and massacres of the highest atrocities .We cannot sit by and continue watching the eradication of a group of people based on the racist and ideological beliefs of those in power. This did not start in October 7th.It started when Britain believed it had the right to hand over an independent nation to Zionists to further expand their reach in the Middle East.
As an African, born, raised and living in Africa I have always been well aware of the militia groups that maim communities in Congo for the sake of economic gain. Congo, who has suffered from the brutal colonisation from Belgium and is now continuously injured by technological companies and political powers such as the US and France just because of its minerals needs our aid. We have to stop the overconsumption of electronic goods. We must reject this capitalistic economy that allows such atrocities to not only be committed but also be accepted as the norm. Killing people should NEVER be the norm.
We cannot forget Sudan where civil war is sprouting at the consequence of her young people dying. Democracy is a human right. No human should be indoctrinated to authouritarian rule where the ruling class live in splendor while the minority are forced into squalor despite their earning for keep. Sudan deserves its right to freedom. Let us not forget our Sudanese brothers and sisters as they struggle to attain freedom that was always deserving of them.

“Do you condemn Hamas?”
Hamas is a resistance movement, and the notion that they are an existential terrorist threat is propaganda to justify the genocide of Palestinians.

there will never be a good time to say this but here.
equating jewishness with support for israel is a zionist perspective. equating jewishness with zionism is a zionist perspective.
also--that's not the point. commenting free Palestine on jew's posts doesn't help anyone.
free palestine, AND stop placing the blame on the average non-israeli jew, because that is feeding into the narrative that israel wants you to subscribe to--AND DOES NOTHING TO ACTUALLY SUPPORT PALESTINE.
i will never ever stop supporting palestine and palestian people--in part because i am a jew--but i am getting tired of the zionism and antisemitism masquerading as activism.
this is not the biggest issue but I feel that it needs to be said.

Tumblr is taking down a lot of my anti-apartheid posts because let's be honest the owner of tumblr is a massive transphobe of course he is right-wing like the zionists so let's get one thing straight.
I do not care what Hamas has done to gay people. Literally fo not care at the moment. Do u know why? Because the colony of Israel is killing more queer people with bombs that Hamas is.
U can't be queer and a zionist. Cry bout it. Happy pride
