Taran RampersadStick this in your hopper for when people say supporting #Palestine is supporting #Hamas. It isn't.
Clearly, the Palestinians have a Hamas problem too.
Drop BearGaza has a Hamas problem @knowprose and Israel has a Likud problem.
They're problems that the respective populations have Democratically chosen. They're both problems that have the overwhelming support of those populations.
🤔
Which raises a question:
media and government commentators commonly refer to "the Hamas-run health ministry";
why don't we hear "the Likud-run military", for example?

I'm not about to get into #whataboutisms.
#Israel has a democratically elected government, true.
#Gaza is a democracy with one party since 2007, an occupied territory with no control of it's borders because of Israel. Because of Hamas. Because of Israel. Because of Hamas...
Kinda hard to make that equation balance the way you're trying to.

There is no democracy in apartheid state, you can't have both.
You're welcome for the lesson.
@milton @DropBear @palestine @israel
Ergo, my point. Glad you caught up.
@DropBear @palestine @israel Just to emphasize, "A democracy with one party".
Ballots must be really easy to count.
