You're literally doing it right now. You fully acknowledge that Israel is an apartheid state but you're not acknowledging anything they've done wrong.
For the people who don't get it, Israel was established in the 40's when the US and British took the land from the native Palestinians and created Israel as a state for the jewish people. This isn't ancient history. Some of your grandparents are older than Israel.
Israel exists on stolen land and their goal is fully destroy Palestine. It's as black and white as can be. It's murder. It's very nearly genocide. But the US is cool with it because we use them as a FOB.
Rapid here is defending murder. The recent actions of Palestine are, an admittedly gross but justified, self defense.
Edit: moved a comma
I do acknowledge that what Isreal does is oppression of Palestinians. I also acknowledge that what Hamas did last weekend was nasty and barbaric. Something you can't seem to do and I feel sorry for you.
Lol weak. Dude I literally just said it was "gross" you can't immediately come back and say that I "can't admit that it was nasty". Gross and nasty are literally synonyms.
Can you pause for like 2 seconds and realize that you've become so lost in "winning" this argument that you've reduced yourself to spouting literal nonsense?
And that goes double for whoever upvoted you.
So, it's me and anyone that agrees with me? Whatever rings your bell, my friend.
I wouldn't say "agree". I don't think it's possible to "agree" with a non-sequitur. Like... by definition I don't think thats possible.
Generally when you upvote something because it agrees with your side regardless of the correctness that is a form of "circle-jerking".
