Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

You can assume that's what she meant, but you don't actually know that - you're just putting words into someone's mouth. She even clarified later that's exactly what she DIDN'T mean. This is also a time when Israel is bombing largely defenseless citizens. If you're going to make assumptions about the intent of a statement, it's also valid to assume she's referring to this.

Not every Palestinian is a member or supporter of Hamas, and not every person who fights for the freedom of the Palestinians is a member or supporter of Hamas.
