  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hamas now executing Palestinians who tried to help peace.

Were you hoping to find a bunch of leftists wanting to defend Hamas? Sorry to disappoint.

We actually believe in human dignity. Unlike Hamas, Israel, or MAGA.

Don't know which thread you've been reading, but in this one, there are plenty of people who's general tone of post is "Well, shouldn't have colaborated. Hamas did what they had to.".

I believe that you personally feel different, but don't pretend that people on the left that defend those killings by hamas don't exist in meaningful numbers.

It's okay. You don't have to make their opinion your own just because you share a lot of other opinions.

I did catch that after the fact. And am saddened by it. I don't believe that defending Hamas aids the Palestinian cause. I support Palestine, and more importantly I support Palestinians--but Hamas is objectively wrong. And defending Hamas is ultimately hurtful, harmful, and discredits meaningful support for Palestinian people who suffer.
