Again, I really hope you can see how your logic works in reverse. In so far as all Palestinians are guilty, all Israelis are as well.

Propaganda can really cook a brain, eh?

From my perspective, we've got two rogue terrorist organizations murdering civilians en mass - one much more well funded and more effective at slaughter than the other.

    The IDF isnt a rogue organization, its the military arm of the elected Israeli government. Also Palestine hasn't had an election since 2006 so 18 years ago. Notably older than all of the children the IDF is bombing, and hardly representative of the rest of Palestine.

    This is not "normal war stuff." The IDF has dropped more explosives in months than the US did in years in Iraq.

    Gaza is one of the most intense civilian punishment campaigns in history,” said Pape. “It now sits comfortably in the top quartile of the most devastating bombing campaigns ever.

    Terrorism is the warfare of the poor. Warefare is the terrorism of the rich.

    So killing civilians is deplorable? If you read with eyes unclouded, you'd see I haven't defended anything of the like. I'm equating this 'war' with terrorism. What Israel continues to commit daily is terrorism of the same kind as October 7th, on a scale so much more vast they're hard to compare.

    Propaganda is when someone starts with a conclusion and stops thinking there.

    No good person could possibly be supporting such a genocide, and yet, you are. Really opened my eyes.

    Then we have two popular government organizations murdering civilians en mass - one much more well funded and more effective at slaughter than the other. The logic still must hold in reverse, no?
