    Of course the person shilling for the IDF doesnt seem to understand that Palestinians =/= Hamas nor that the wholesale slaughter of innocents is in no way a justifiable response

      Oh they understand that perfectly well, the trouble is that they choose not to make that distinction because otherwise the basis for their entire anti-Palestinian worldview collapses

        IDK, I’m pretty sure HotDaniel’s worldview would hold firm even in the face of the ontological equivalent of nuclear weapons. At this point I’m kinda just bouncing abstract concepts off them as a way to illustrate the inherent flaws in their worldview to anyone that might be reading it (though lets be real, I’m mostly just a drunk analyst that’s sick of the IDF killing my friends and is taking out my sorta-kinda-impotent rage on someone who couldn’t debate their way out of a damp paper sack given both hands, a map, a fire axe and clearcut verbal instruction on how to debate one’s way out of a damp paper sack using a fire axe, map and both hands)

        Quote where I said I am anti-Palestinian. I am anti-Hamas. Always have been and always will be. You have to manufacture statements about me to attack me. You’re defending literal terrorists who would kill you without hesitation.

          You’re arguing in bad faith here so I’m going to move on from this discussion. Wishing you the best.

            You literally made up that I’m anti-Palestinian. You’re as bad-faith as they come. So, bye.

              Let me spell out your own argument.

              “Genocide of Palestinian people is justifiable because hamas attacked Israel.”

              All those things I mentioned were specifically war crimes against Palestinians, not hamas. You instantly associating those things with hamas shows exactly where your thoughts are at.

      I have been and always will be anti-Hamas. And never have I said that Palestinians == Hamas. You have to misquote me to attack me. You’re defending literal terrorists that would kill you without hesitation, who raped parents and brutalized children. Israel has shown great restraint towards the Palestinian people. Does Gaza still exist? Have they leveled it, like any other nation would have after having hundreds of rockets per day shot at them? Of course, Israel is trying to minimize civilian casualties, and for that you will attack them.

        I can’t be arsed to dig through your comments and find a specific example so I’ll just go with the equally valid rebuttal: You have implied it, however! The assertion that israel is defending itself against “existential threats” (and clarifying that threat is Hamas) while at the same time arguing that israel is totally justified logically implies that the thousands of civilians being wiped out by israel are equally culpable for Hamas’ crimes, and are a threat to israel.
