This video is such garbage. Like, the left is not celebrating this attack? Like what?
What a ridiculous position to group together an entire half of the political discourse on the internet and claim that everyone in that half has the same position.
But I guess you wanted me to explicitly say that “some left” are doing that. That’s fine. It is indeed a fringe portion of the left, and also not everybody on the right are hateful nazis.
This article already seems disingenuous. DSA Salt Lake City Utah’s Statement on Palestine https://slcdsa.org/2023/10/10/salt-lake-dsa-statement-in-support-of-palestinian-liberation/ does not mention Hamas killing civilians let alone justify it. It vaguely uses the quote they cite to say that Palestine has a right to self defense, and even offense, which it does. I do not believe that this right includes the right to commit war crimes like killing civilians. We vote on statements in DSA, and such a statement certainly would not get my vote, but this statement is not that.
The linked site is a blog, not sure how that constitutes fact. Pointing out bullshit isn’t being against facts, it’s being against bullshit. And conflating the two shows both bias and bullshit.
Not approving of Israel’s completely disproportionate response, in particular the mass killing of palestinian civilians – bordering on genocide – is not the same as supporting Hamas.

Psst. You can’t speak facts to people. They don’t enjoy that. >;\

It’s always been that way though. Any sentiment that isn’t 110% pro Israel is considered as anti Israel.
