When someone does “both sides” to a group committing genocide and their victims, they are supporting genocide.
If you’re being stabbed and I go “Yes, stabbing random people is bad, but you’re ruining his jacket by bleeding on it, so really you’re both bad people”, that criticism is supporting the guy who is currently stabbing you.
Except one side here is committing the genocide, Hamas is not restricting food, water, and medicine into Israel, Hamas is not targeting Israeli hospitals, Hamas didn’t kill hundreds of Israeli children yesterday.
It’s gross to refer to Palestine’s response to getting rounded into a concentration camp and subject to inhuman conditions as if they were doing the same thing to people living in Israel.
Looking at a dozen of his comments, that does not appear to be the case.
Criticizing HAMAS =/= genocide supporter

Yeah but that’s not really what he said right? What he said was more along the lines of “Fuck you for stabbing them. Fuck you for stabbing back”
To be clear, I don’t actually agree with them. I was just surprised by a genuinely centrist opinion of “fuck you all for everything”
Edit: Nah I was kinda off the mark with this one actually

I concede my point. It is more similar to the jacket bleeding, yeah
