      Do you think when the kkk revises their language to be all dog whistles instead of outright saying what they mean that this changes their goals?

      Israel are the baddies right now, but if Hamas had the power Israel has they would be commiting genocide. The key is Israel has the power and they are killing people. It’s okay to focus on the current wrong without lying about a subset of the current victims…

        “Hamas is trying to exterminate the jews! We know because they say so!”

        “They say the opposite.”

        “They’re lying!”

        Unfalsifiable orthodoxy.

          If I was part of the kkk but realized I believed nothing the kkk believed in, would I stick around? Pretending that just because they improved their public relations means that their organization radically changed their beliefs is magical thinking. I don’t believe in magic.

          Hamas still openly believes that all of the Middle East is for Muslims only, that all of it should be under control of Sunni Muslim fundamentalist control, and that no non Muslims should even live in the Middle East. How do you think they believe they will get to that point?

          Again, Israel is entirely responsible for their actions, but pretending that Hamas are just regular old freedom fighters is entirely a lie. The victims here are the civilians, there are far too many victims. But I don’t look at the religious fundamentalist bigots and see victims, they are part of the problem. All be it without the power to enact their hate fully.

              Either engage in the conversation or don’t, but don’t pretend you addressed anything I said.

                Least disingenuous genocide apologist. Turns out any asshole can just keep screeching "“You didn’t address what I said!”, regardless of the truth.

                  At no point did I ever say that killing people was good. The only one on here advocating killing people is you, you literally said you would kill people on this thread. The fact that you’re accusing others of being genocide apologists while advocating killing people is laughable. Go outside and touch grass, you clearly need a break from the Internet.
