      Sorry, I wasn’t trying to imply you believe that, but you said it sounded like Israel had good reason to prop them up, and you didn’t deny that Israeli policies allowed Hamas to take power in Gaza.

      I’m sorry I called you heartless also, this is obviously a heated topic so I might take it a bit seriously, I don’t know you though so I apologize, I don’t assume anyone is heartless and it’s a rude thing to say.

        This guy has been spouting genocide justification in other threads as well, they’re a lost cause. They’ve written essays about how all Palestinians are Hamas and should all be wiped out, denying that starvation is even happening, etc. Good luck trying to save this one!

          That makes sense, I doubt I’ll convince many people I argue with directly about anything, but I feel compelled to respond to Israeli apologia mostly for lurkers that might doubt the heinousness of the IDF, and to let anyone else know it won’t go unchallenged, it’s the very least I can do to defend the honor of the people being massacred. Obviously there is much more needed to be done.

            I respect the effort. I feel like these conversations are many drops but are creating a collective tidal wave, I just find the concept of defending mass murder over learning something new is such an alien concept to me like I can’t have conversations with people who are so bad faith, like, to a point where its homicidal. It’s scary.
