Why is the US pro Hamas? Isn't generalizing fun?

JPMorgan Chase EastD1628 OP May 8

Lol what? Even if one was generalizing, no reasonable person would label U.S as pro-hamas

NewRelic LooseArnie May 8

Really? But people are marching in the streets and universities shouting "death to America" and "from the river to the sea". It sure seems to me that by cherry-picking some specific group that the US is pro Hamas.

Any sensible person will see through the Zionist genocide honestly. Not only Ireland, anyone!

Besides being under a brutal occupation for more than 800 years and their land still occupied by the English, the Irish had nearly half of their population wiped out because of a famine that the English helped create and exacerbated, there were potatoes to eat but the English exported them to England to let the Irish starve to death. Raids on the English guards to try and steal potatoes that were being brought to England resulted in being shot on site. 24 hour guard watch on fields to protect the potatoes from being looted by their rightful owners, the Irish, if you tried to scrounge a single potato for yourself - shot on site. People were resorting to cannibalism, eating dirt, anything that moved in desperation but still millions perished at the hands of the English. The English wanted nothing less than complete enslavement or eradication of the Irish by any means necessary. The Irish were considered non human, animals, property. To this day English society paints the Irish as less than them, uncivilized, stupid.

Very similar to what Israel is doing now to Gaza

Because Irish people don’t like to see and be complicit in genocide which is ongoing in Gaza!

Zionist thinks they own the world. They think they are the children of God. Everyone else is not.

So you're for the people that seek martyrdom instead of peace? Cool.

Not very different from Islam, is it? Muslims go to heaven, everyone else won’t?

Because the white colonizer feels like they can compensate for their sins by sucking Israeli dick. Ireland doesn’t share that guilt so they can call out Israeli crimes.

The Irish actually have hearts
