if you want to talk about human rights, i'm going to align with you, at least abstractly - although we might disagree about what that means. for example, i tend to reject the premise that religious belief is a human right, and instead lean strongly towards the idea that humans have a right to be free from the religious values of others, and point heavily towards freedom of association. 

but, if you start talking about human rights and, midway through it, start waving a hamas flag, then you've lost me.

...because there are few political organizations on the planet that care less about human rights than hamas.

and, here's the thing: the contemporary fake left is so ignorant that a lot of them don't even know what they're supporting. they no doubt imagine that hamas is a group of nice, clean cut arabs with broadly secular viewpoints - like the arabs they know in their lives. it's orientalism in reverse. but, they're that clueless - they have no idea. 

i'm not going to attack people for being ignorant.

it's the ones that know better that piss me off.

but, this isn't empty rhetoric, because supporting hamas is just speeding up the process of genocide. the more that the fake left supports hamas, the faster the palestinians die. they have to get past this, or they're done - and if you actually care about their plight, if you're not just looking for a right-wing militia to support to work out your own issues with society, then you'll realize this very quickly. and, sometimes it makes you wonder when you see who is aligning with them, too.

this is an old problem in the midst of empire - barbarians are consistently dumb and they consistently behave in ways that lead to their own demise.

but, if your support for hamas is rooted in upholding human rights, and there's no irony in your position, i can't be bothered with you - because it's a delusional position to take. you need to be supporting the left on the ground, not fueling right-wing nationalism and pretending it's some kind of leftist struggle. 'cause it ain't....
