      My issue is that on the (?second) day of the war, a group of Western reporters were presented with “evidence” of the planning that had gone into the attack, and I found the “evidence” to be laughably bad - the evidence itself, the supposed circumstances it was found under, the condition of the evidence - all were bad. And if you present such incredibly poor “evidence” at one point, I’m going to automatically be much more suspicious of any other “evidence” you present later.

      You have one downvote. From me. And yeah if you’re going to bomb a protected target we’re going to want to see the evidence. You don’t just get to shrug and mumble something about terrorists.

          So far, you’ve characterised support for a group that’s being genocided as supporting terrorists, and made it clear you don’t care about warcrimes. You’ve implied you care about hospitals being bombed, but that doesn’t seem to apply when the bombing is done by the group bombing the majority of the hospitals.

          You need to stop and ask yourself if you’re backing the bad guys, my guy.

              I do condemn those things, but keep in mind that they were funded by Israel, who are also committing more warcrimes and killing more civilians.

              Why do you work so hard to gloss over Israel’s objectively far worse actions to whine about Hamas?

      “Terrorists” is the 21st century equivalent to “savages” to justify imperialism and genocide. US propagandists can stfu.

          Got other made up stories? Time and time again has shown that every single thing that comes out of the mouths of US and Israeli politicians is a lie unless proven otherwise.

      My issue is more with people supporting a genocide because Hamas exists.

      Few people have a problem condemning Hamas, but when Israel is clearly killing far more civilians and bombing more hospitals than Israel, obsessing about the lesser problem (who were Israel-funded in any case) is deeply suspicious.
