I find it highly frustrating how hypocritical people can be (especially vocal celebrities) about these groups and the politics surrounding them. Of course, almost everyone is condemning the Taliban for their horrible atrocities and human rights abuses. Especially how young Afghan women are now being treated. On the other hand, when Hamas began sending rockets to Israel, and Israel responded, the response was almost unanimous. Progressive leaders condemned Israel, reducing its self defense to needless war crimes. Of course, Israel is imperfect, and many of the things they have done are less than just. But what do people expect them to do when they’re under direct attack? Progressives chanted “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” What do they think would happen if Israel fell to Hamas today? Do they really think it would be much different than the Taliban? I promise you, the same people saying this wouldn’t survive a day in Palestine, especially if they are women. #politics #taliban #hamas #afghanistan #terrorism
Isn’t Israel kicked off Palestinian out first and Hamas responded? Why should Jewish take part of Palestine in the first place, just becuz British and US were imperialism and can do it by brute force? Lol
Palestinians were kicked out of Jaffa and a few other places. But most of the Israel that exists today was developed by Jewish immigrants in the early 1900s. Jews have also lived in Israel for 2000 years. It was our original homeland, which we were kicked out of. However, Jews never fully left. To say that we took it from the Palestinians is ignoring the full history of Israel.
Blame the book that both groups read all day.
The difference is that secularism is celebrated in Israel. A large portion of the Israeli population is secular. They also treat their Muslim population fairly. I can’t say the same for Palestine.
Is there any Islamic country that treats the minorities fairly?

How does Hamas treat the Palestinians women? Do they allow them to go to school? Do they have a women’s soccer team?
Yes and yes.
See then Hamas > Taliban
