If you want to sit on the fence and feel morally superior while atrocities continue to happen, that's your prerogative.
You clearly have no education on this subject. Go read about some of what the Isrealis have put the Palestinians though, and the massive power imbalance between them. I outlined some of that above, but you are being willfully ignorant.
So you HAVE chosen a side. And remember, again…. You’re debating who kills more children, and have chosen a side in this argument.
Normal people with a properly aligned moral compass would agree they’re BOTH horrendous animals.
I’m not arguing this with you any more.
The part you're not understanding here is the obvious fact that Hamas commits horrendous acts, but that is a natural consequence to being subjected to an Apartheid regime. Isreal has the power to end that cycle of violence and chooses not to, the pressure need to be put on them. Just going "jeez both these suck" and moving on accomplishes nothing.
Have a nice day.
~ You, while entirely ignoring their crimes against humanity.
If that's your takeaway, you're either completely lacking in reading comprehension or purposely misrepresenting my argument.
I read what you wrote. If you wanted me to think differently, you should have wrote differently.
You read it but you processed nothing. Nowhere did I say that Hamas are the good guys or that their actions are excusable.
I do not know how I can dumb this down further for you.
No, you just speak out only against their enemies- in a conversation that’s about how BOTH of them are equally to blame. And equally wrong…. While claiming to be impartial.
Talk about dumbing down- you can’t even see your own hypocrisy.
I wrote a whole paragraph up there addressing this. You treat this as if these are two equal sides, like a chess match. This is not the case. Subjugating millions of people will breed extremism. Explaining the root causes of extremism is not the same thing as condoning extremism. To end it, they need to begin by ending the subjugation or this cycle will continue.
I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand, and I don't know how many times I need to repeat that concept.
