Where am I demanding you be principled like you said in your post? The western countries are gearing up for an unnecessary war for a hostile "ally" and throwing out all the "principles" they used to oppress their own people over it. You should be asking why you can't criticize this one specific group even if you're one of their unwitting pets with billionaires, corporations, and governments coming down on you.
You're needlessly complicating the proper response.
The answer's simple: both "sides" can get fucked as they fight amongst themselves. We can and will laugh or asses off as we watch them take each other out, and then proceed to tear down the survivors.
Dude, you're getting awfully upset at a government in a tiny strip of land--can you discuss the nakba with me?
You do understand that you can oppose a powerful enemy for silencing their critics (who might include people who are on the right or white) without supporting some other group? I don't like Hamas, but Israel is one of the western world's greatest enemies, and I'm sick of them having so much power over us.
This is one of those situations where it's better to put aside your differences with one enemy until you can go back to hating each other. Do you think the US shouldn't have allied itself with Russian commies to fight the Nazis?
protip: they support hamas and hate 'muh jews'. There's no convincing them of anything. I'm giving up, and hoping they all get perma banned (though it won't happen).
