    When you justify a deliberate war crime by the Gaza government, when you align yourself with terrorists and apologize for them and grasp for justifcations… that’s a VERY bad place to be.

    It’s good that people who are being radicalized and express support for terrorists are being tracked.

      🥱

      The problem with the word ‘terrorism’ is it makes you seem like you’re immediately the good guy and anyone who disagrees with you is a bad guy. Even if the “good guys” are killing 10x as many civilians as the “terrorists.”

      More people are waking up to these tactics, so they are becoming less effective. You’re going to have to come up with a new strategy in the future.

        A lot of people need to wake up and realize that evaluating conflicts based on uneven casuality numbers is super sick and poorly thought out.

        That it’s the driver for so much mistaken hostility speaks volumes.

            The logical corollary to “oh this is awful, one side is taking way more casualties,” is to say “it’s much more acceptable now that both sides are more even casualties.”

            Do you understand why this is morally and ethically bankrupt?

              I’m sorry, I’m not going to indulge your mental gymnastics just so you can avoid holding the IDF accountable.
