If you condemn the October 7 attack, you are accused of being Zionist and supporting the genocide on Palestinians.
I haven’t seen this. Most honest anti-Zionists I’ve seen online have been very clear in their denunciation of Oct 7.
It’s more like, “if you don’t constantly bring up the horrible attack from several years ago and make sure everyone knows you condemn it, then that means you’re anti-Semitic.”
I have absolutely encountered this online and offline, a lot of people understand the attack as being justified by the oppressive conditions the Gaza strip was kept in. Personally I think it’s possible for two opposing things to both be bad/wrong.
Yup, in the eyes of those who support the October 7 attack, taking hostage of and killing foreign civilians–who have no dog in the race-- is completely justified. There are freedom fighters throughout history who consciously avoid killing foreigners and civilians, so it’s not like there is no precedence for Hamas not to follow.

It maybe depends on which social media you are in. I do see tankies in Lemmy shy away from condemning October 7 attack.
