why supporting hamas is not supporting palestine and may, in fact, be the opposite
"...hamas just threw palestine under the bus in brutal fashion by committing atrocities sure to generate the most severe of reprisals. and it was not done to protect or promote palestinians. it was done to cause them instant, deadly harm because that is in the best interests of iran, the paymaster who has been calling the tune. and those interests diverge greatly from those of the palestinian people."
"... from the perspective of most of the palestinian people and perhaps even most of their leaders, they did not do this. it was done to them.
"hamas is not palestine and palestine is not hamas any more than BLM is america and american is BLM and we should all be culpable for their burning of cities. sometimes factions with agendas of their own get loose and do things that very few people actually wanted, often to some ulterior aim. and i suspect that’s what we’re seeing here."
"what if this attack was not to help the palestinians but rather to throw them to the wolves to break up any potential deals and shore up power for iran? because that sure seems like the odds on bet to me."

Clement also linked Beijing to the fentanyl crisis, saying the CCP could shut down precursor shipments to Canada “if they really wanted to,” but instead allows the flow as a form of “disruptive warfare,” echoing the tactics of the Opium Wars....
