"Hamas doesn't want a ceasefire!" (lemmygrad.ml)

This phrase rings like a bell in my circles every time the topic of humanitarian ceasefire comes up, and it effectively stonewalls the conversation. Just a point of frustration that I have no real place to ventilate.

Other bangers include:

Israel can't trust the Palestinians, they've never been given a reason to do so.
Hamas wants to make Israel not exist.
So you equate Israel now to Nazis during WW2? (while talking about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising)
Hamas takes drugs and ...
spoiler
rapes corpses of women and children.

Hard to be interested in engaging after reading that last one, but no one else is going to bring the missing half of the conversation.

Oh so it’s the “we ‘found’ a baggy of pot on the perp” gambit

It’s also totally irrelevant even if true. Oh damn some soldiers took stimulants before a battle? That’s a thing that has never happened ever and certainly not in civilized western countries. Modafinil? What’s that?

Exactly. I also have not looked into it but I can't help but imagine the jpost and nypost are basically the same publication. Some of my homies LOVE the nypost, its kinda insane.
