Many leftists are extremely idealist and get swayed by Western opinion a lot. They dont support Hamas because Hamas are not the perfect MLs freedom fighters. This is childish and just gives ammunition to the liberals to discredit Hamas’ stance. This criticism of Hamas goes against the global decolonization cause. Every time a decolonial group fights against their oppressor, they are criticized even by leftists. Is this what Lenin referred to as left-com?
It sucks that people who one thought were comrades end up doing this. Like are we even on the same team or are you just a closeted liberal? It is crazy, unscientific and unmaterialistic to not consider Palestinian material conditions, and to not consider who they made their champions for this cause, but instead to apply your idealism to the situation.
After having a discussion with Vijay Prashad I got to know from him that 2 state solution is not possible at all because only 18 percent of current West Bank remains of Palestinian villages rest were annexed by Israeli settlers. 1 state solution is possible only if jews,Muslims, Christians live under the same shed and get equal opportunity without apartheid, which is not possible in the current zionist society. The normalization achieved by saudis, arab states have made them like puppets. Only a military solution to help Hamas will solve the problem but for that Jordan and Egyptian army has to go into Gaza. That means they have to tear up their peace accords which also seems unlikely to happen.
In broader picture supporting Hamas or not… Until the arab states go into war without fearing out the nukes and such will only stop this genocide or a big riot in US. Even China has condemned the Hamas attacks because China and Russia both have negativity towards Muslim Brotherhood. But it doesn’t matter what you support whether it’s al fateh, PLFP Or etc. The problem lies in the inaction of arab states, tricky peace deals and fear of nukes and EU + US support of the genocidal regime.
