I said the situation was (past tense) "more complicated" compared to the then commonly held view that Hamas was just being evil and terroristic on October 7th. I was agreeing that the view was oblivious.

I was not saying you were wrong, I was saying that even as you point out everyone in the damn world should know better, you didn't point out the things they would have needed to know. That if it is that difficult for you to highlight the things he should have known, how can we expect him to know about them at a time when people had not been talking about it except for the very recent and very violent October 7th event.

What came before was bad, but nothing like what happened since and nowhere near as popularly known.

My point is simply that folks that showed support for Israel in the popular media in October and November of 2023 can be given a break. They weren't necessarily pro genocide, just oblivious to the nuanced circumstances and focused on the most recent and severe single act, which was committed by Hamas. After the IDF went as far as they did, that obliviousness no longer is understandable.
