Not cool bro. Why are you dunking on someone straight out the gates, with little to no context on the topic discussed? This isn't twitter.
Radiohead where quite outspoken on the "Free - Tibet" but have used Hamas being labeled as Terrorist group and subscribed to the idea "Israel having the right to defend themselves".
So making a joke about Radiohead not caring for the genocide in Palestaine because of "Hamas" is quite adecuate.
Well, my comment was a classic "yo momma" joke. You asking for "what about hamas?" Is a very common fascist deflection. So if you talk like a fascist, don't be mad to be treated as such.
Next, armed struggle against an oppressive colonizing regime is protected under international law. And hamas is THE GOVERNMENT there that means even a government employed janitor as treated as a "terrorist". In fact IOF uses this exact same rhetoric to kill civilian in gaza.
As a popular mainstream icon, radiohead has power that we everyday individuals don't. And when you talk like "oh hamas and IDF same same" that makes you either complicit at best or genocide apologist at worst.
