Sorry, I often fail at snark perception

"Both sides" is when you equivocate two things which are not equal, you're looking for "whataboutism" which is not an actual fallacy, claiming "you're doing whataboutism" was a PR tactic first used by British colonizers when Irish people brought up British violence in response to anti-IRA propaganda.

Online? No. Online disorganized leftists aren't actually leftists, they're leftist sympathizers. You need to be in a leftist org to actually be a leftist.

You're not a threat unless you're actually doing stuff.

A better analogy would be handing magazines to a mass shooter whenever he ran out of ammo

what they then choose to do with it is on them, not us.

Why do you believe this? Don't people have a responsibility to not give weapons to people knowing they will be used for genocide?

Also, us? Are you part of the Biden admin?

Yeah didn't he call for the creation of "greater israel" in the region or something?

What do you call giving weapons with the knowledge that they will be used for genocide?

Does the recipient obviously lying "oh they'll just be used for defense" while they continue to commit genocide with previous shipments of weapons give the democrats plausible deniability in your book?

I'm not gonna rub salt in the wound. Please join a socialist org if you care about resisting fascism.

After ww1 there was one socialist country.

After ww2 one third of humans lived in a socialist country.

That number has risen since. Capitalism is slowly making its way off the stage of history.

With all due respect, but if you want to believe the Hamas and other terrorist groups want to fight for “freedom” instead of eradicating the entire Jewish population, discussions with you on this topic are fruitless.

These people are a terrorist caricature one could find in a bad American bush era movie to you, aren't they?

But the goal or “Mission” of the Hamas is to eradicate all jews.

Source that isn't from the 90s when they were a marginal fundamentalist group and not a leading member of a coalition fighting for a secular democracy?

First off, the foundations remain the same, colonial.

Second off, is creating a secular democracy without an apartheid system, aka "destroying Israel" going to kill everyone? Did the collapse of apartheid South Africa kill all the white people there?
