Except nobody is denying the tragedy of October 7th.

What would you say if someone called October 7th a targeted and precise military operation and that 2 civilians killed for each Israeli soldier killed was actually a great ratio?

Because I can cite the very person I'm lambasting here saying that. I have receipts, if you're genuinely interested enough for me to go back through my comments and grab them.

You’re literally creating a straw man argument to ignore US unconditional support for an apartheid regime responsible for killing 15,000 children. Disgusting.

Fuck man, I have called for the removal of all aid from Israel. I've been calling for that since BEFORE October 7th, even, because I recognized a genocide when I see one. I've called our support for Israel a stain on our (US) collective soul. I've called the Israeli ethnostate an apartheid regime.

How the fuck is calling someone out for Hamas apologia, in that context, creating a strawman OR ignoring US unconditional support? The very fucking meme I posted and whose comment thread you are commenting in suggests the ongoing offensive as part of a genocide.

How much more obvious do I have to make it?
