In this case, someone appears to think it "equivalence" and "defense of Hamas" to recognize what Israel actually does.
And so whatever the cost or tactics needed, what Israel does cannot be recognized. So we have an ideological and conceptual block to evidence.
Your long, silly screed aside I will reiterate this. I have zero issue recognizing the wrongs of the IDF, when they can be verified. I will, and always shall, take issue with using their provable wrongdoings to exonerate or mitigate the actions of Hamas, as you routinely do, or attempts to paint them as equally bad actors, as you and Dino routinely do.

You labeling anyone an ideologue is side splitting. Also, you're not trying to "discuss" anything. You're attempting to push a narrative that I'm going to call out every time. You're not going to be Bagdad Bob for Hamas and receive zero pushback. Sorry, not sorry.

Mitigating the actions of terrorist rapists, mass murderers and kidnappers of infants is not a small disagreement. It's excusing and mitigating pure evil. If you're going to attempt to use my own words against me then you should at least try and comprehend what's being said first.
Lastly, please continue to reply. You're quite literally reinforcing my position with every post.
