Quote: "We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do it again and again. The Al-Aqsa Deluge [the name Hamas gave its 7 October onslaught - ed.] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs."

Yes, but i rarely see the latter, mostly former.

There's no need to be defensive. I find both the IDF and Hamas detestable, and I've seen support for both here. There isn't a lot of pro IDF support, but I call it out still. Even a little bit is too much.

Calling out someone lumping anti-oppression/anti-genocide with pro-hamas is defensive? That's the narrative pro-idf keep pushing.

That's not what the person you were speaking to was saying. They were talking about people who were actually defending Hamas, not just criticizing Israel. They didn't lump the two together. The IDF and it's supporters love pushing that, but there's no need to automatically assume someone is on their side when they talk about seeing pro Hamas people.
