    Native American militias didn’t brutalise Native Americans, much unlike Hamas does to Palestinians.

      This is simply not true. Plenty of natives fought against other natives, whether independently, or with US troops, or for bounties.

        Those were generally clashes between different tribes. Hamas is doing internal political oppression, brutalising political opponents etc.

      Uhhhhhh one there was definitely infighting amongst the various tribes. Even during colonial expansion. Two Hamas is doing exactly what the IDF and Israelis government pays them to do.

        Irrelevant because Gaza is not different tribes, thus I ignored it. But I bet you felt smart typing that.

        Quite an edgelord take but yes they’re oppressing Palestinians, and killed a lot of Israeli leftists, hippie Kibbutz type people actually helping people in Gaza, in their attacks, Kahanites certainly don’t mind that. I don’t think Israel was planning on Hamas having a shot at the Israeli-Saudi rapprochement, though.
