You have spent hours and hours putting yourself in the shoes of citizens in Gaza - very commendable - but not spared a second to try and empathise with the other side

I'm actually pretty taken aback at how far you have gone in your defence of Hamas. It confirms that there really is basically nothing they would do that you'd condemn

Do you want to comment on the video, or just what the person who posted it said alongside it?

And there we have it...to acknowledge what is and has been happening in Palestine is not a left wing issue, or at least it shouldn't be. What else do you want me to condemn about yesterday, and I'll jump through the hoops to please you. What I won't do, is condemn the fact that they fought back, which is both their right and their duty.

Anything you don't like can be dismissed as left wing if you try hard enough. I suppose history is also left wing? Just absolute nonsense.

I haven't defended Hamas. I've repeatedly condemned their actions, so rather than concern trolling, why not learn about the region instead? This is what I don't understand, you've had 2 days to show some curiosity and you've shown none. Still pretending the attacks happened in a vacuum.
