So, I’ve noticed a few posts making it to “all” from some some communities that are, shall we say, unsympathetic to the Israelis readarding the attacks over the weekend.
I don’t want to get into a row about the situation itself as you can have one of them anywhere online right now.
However, some of it slips into being supportive and almost enthusiastic about Hamas actions.
In quite a few countries, Hamas are a legally proscribed terrorist organisation, and support of them is specifically illegal. Therefore I’m wondering if there is any risk hosting federated content from these instances if you happen to live in said country and host a Lemmy instance. Lemm.ee for example being based in the EU where they are deemed as terrorists.
Never said anything positive about Israel, did I? I responded to a comment saying just because Hamas is antisemitic doesn’t mean it’s fascist. While that’s true, Hamas fulfills more hallmarks of fascism than merely antisemitism.
Well, I wasn’t criticising you personally. I was adding some important, interesting and peculiar context.
Don’t you find it wierd that Israelis were more interested in weakening a disciplined left secular party and inviting corrupt terrorists to power instead? I mean obviously, if Palestine ever were to be free, the business class don’t want them to be left secular nor independant.
Personally I don’t think Hamas should be compared to fascists, the term obscures the unique problems in the Middle East between different factions, who fall in and out of favour with the chief meddler in the region (US). But it doesn’t really matter.
