    It’s not “both sides bad”

    It’s “murder of civilians and children is murder of civilians and children, even when it’s an oppressed group fighting back against oppressors.”

    The fact that you can’t tell the difference tells me a lot. I’d also argue that it shows you to be the unprincipled one.

      And the fact that you can’t tell the difference tells me even more.

        It’s almost like Hamas doesn’t actually represent Palestine and won the election by a 40% plurality in the mid 2000s and haven’t run an election since then. It’s almost like this little thing called nuance exists. It’s almost like I can denounce Hamas while also denouncing the IDF without it being anything related to “all sides bad”.

        Believe it or not you can take a stance in support of Palestine without supporting mindless violence. Eg: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Abu_Awwad#:~:text=Ali Abu Awwad

            No thanks I’ll just keep winning arguments against the deluded fools that can’t accept anything outside their echo chamber as valid and moved to hexbear bc of it.

                Yeah I don’t really mind arguing with people calling for mindless violence. I do think it’s important to argue with them, regardless of the situation in Palestine, (which I have exactly zero way of affecting either positively or negatively.)

                Your fake outrage and inability to think about the larger picture is cute.
