    My thoughts exactly! If ever there was a perfect case where critical support is called for, this is it. We support them specifically in their struggle to liberate Palestine and protect the people of Gaza. Beyond that it is no secret that we have a number of ideological and political disagreements with that group.

    The trick that the Zionist propagandists in the western media are trying to pull is transparently clear: they are trying to equate the entire Palestinian liberation struggle with the ideology of one particular liberation group. And like everything they do, this too will backfire on them. All that this does is legitimize said group’s ideology, not discredit the Palestinian struggle. Because no sane and empathetic human being can help but side with the Palestinian cause.

      I’ve spent the last two years critically supporting the Russian Federation, which is like the critical support version of training with ankle weights on. Hamas is a feather.

        Totally agree, I have practically no qualms with Hamas compared to other organizations I critically support. This does not, however, mean my support is uncritical for I have ruthless criticism for all that exists.
