    I didn’t say hamas is perfect, but they’re not anti-communist and I’d give them as much support as China. Support for anything should be critical, but the way you talk around it makes it sounds like your apologizing for Hamas as if they are some lesser evil.

    I agree it’s extreme, but I understand why they are jaded.

      We agree that critical support is the best position, we agree on how crucial Hamas is in Palestine’s anti-imperialist struggle, we agree that Hamas is not perfect.

      I don’t know how a concept this familiar to leftists, that we agree on, that I’ve plainly stated multiple times, is interpreted negatively by other leftists.

        Idk I agree with you, it just came off on the negative side about Hamas. “Saying they’re good is a bad take” sounds like you think they’re bad, but you accept that there is no alternative.
