"Yuval Noah Harari backs critique of leftist ‘indifference’ to Hamas atrocities"

"There is no contradiction between staunchly opposing the Israeli subjugation and occupation of Palestinians and unequivocally condemning brutal acts of violence against innocent civilians. In fact, every consistent leftist must hold both positions simultaneously."

 Nah, fuck Israel  

 Nah to which part of the statement 

 The part about condemning the attacks by Hamas

I condemn Israel's genocidal terrorism, not the defensive terrorism done by Hamas  

 Why not? Human rights are human rights. Girls were sprayed with bullets. People were decapitated with shovels. 

 That's why it's called terrorism

Try not to make people do stuff like that if you don't like it lol 

 Why didn’t they go after settlers or the IDF specifically then? Why can’t you hold them responsible. Why do you say that they were “made to do it” 

 I don’t disagree with this take. At the same time, I think that the question, ‘Do you condemn Hamas?’ as leveled by members of the media towards virtually every single interviewee that sides with Palestinian human rights is a bit performative and silly.
