Look, I am sorry that what I say is shocking to you, but that's just because you aren't used to hearing it.. I personally do not believe that anyone regurgitating Hamas propaganda does not support Hamas and I do not believe that person has any kind of moral high ground over me in any of this.

Look, war is ****. Yes, I hope the cease fire holds because I want this particular one to be over and the death and suffering to stop. I sincerely hope that happens. But, what I won't do is paint the Palestinians as blameless angels (let's not even talk about LBGT rights and the treatment of women there...) and the Israelis as demonic bloodthirsty attack dogs like the Islamo-Left likes to do.

So loud and so wrong. Factually, it is a genocide. No amount of mental gymnastics or excuses will change that.

Unfortunately you have fallen for the Israeli propaganda machine. The fact that you don't even understand how you can be both anti-Hamas and the actions of Israel just show how short sighted your view is on this matter.

I absolutely am aware that LGBT and women's rights are diabolical in Palestine, as they are in many other places around the world, and I am not saying that every Palestinian person is a "blameless angel", but that doesn't excuse them being murdered. The fact that is used by you as an excuse to justify their slaughter is disturbing indeed. Palestinian babies who have been murdered in cold blood aren't discriminating against LGBT people and women. They were just born, and then Israel murdered them.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
