Clearly not on the fediverse, where the left seems to support Palestine no matter what they do.

Way to alter the original comic and make it worse.

Palestine isn't a singular entity and a good number of Palestinians are just kids.

If you think Palestine can be judged this way then I guess the entire US is responsible for Vietnam or the million dead in Iraq.

Yes, yes they are! The electorate shares responsibility for this and the consequences of their chosen leadership's actions. It's always been this way.

Thanks for admitting all of Israel is responsible for the dead civilians in Gaza. It cuts both ways...

Oh and because you are so sensitive about it...

You would have been a fine Brownshirt.

Stop acting like one and I'll stop comparing you to them.

You're not supposed to say the fascist thoughts out loud.

Explain why acknowledging people are responsible for the leadership they elect is fascism.

Great. If you think so, then all of Hamas' attacks against Israeli civilians are justified, since the whole of Israel is responsible for how their country Israel treats Palestinians.

Your logic is turning on you because it stinks.

Do you ever look at all the downvotes and wonder, "Maybe it's not because they blindly hate Israel, but actually because Israel fucking sucks and is committing war crimes that all these fine people here have been explaining to me day after day, and I should clearly reconsider my position"?

Do you ever look at your pretend internet points and wonder if they are because you are correct, or because the sentiment you share is popular? They mean the latter.

Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer.

Israeli propaganda has no power here, sorry ☹️

Wow if ever there was a personification of COPE it would be that comment.
"They don't downvote me because I'm saying shitty things, they downvote me because what you say is popular."

As orange jesus would say... SAD.
