Again, I really hope you can see how your logic works in reverse. In so far as all Palestinians are guilty, all Israelis are as well.
Propaganda can really cook a brain, eh?
From my perspective, we've got two rogue terrorist organizations murdering civilians en mass - one much more well funded and more effective at slaughter than the other.
The IDF isnt a rogue organization, its the military arm of the elected Israeli government. Also Palestine hasn't had an election since 2006 so 18 years ago. Notably older than all of the children the IDF is bombing, and hardly representative of the rest of Palestine.
This is not "normal war stuff." The IDF has dropped more explosives in months than the US did in years in Iraq.

Terrorism is the warfare of the poor. Warefare is the terrorism of the rich.
So killing civilians is deplorable? If you read with eyes unclouded, you'd see I haven't defended anything of the like. I'm equating this 'war' with terrorism. What Israel continues to commit daily is terrorism of the same kind as October 7th, on a scale so much more vast they're hard to compare.
It's very easy indeed to hit Hamas targets when everything is Hamas.
I really wish the person you were talking with hadn't deleted all their replies....
Edit: looks like the replies were purged by a mod, my bad.
Man you sure aren't addressing any of their points, are you? Just keep dodging the subject, I'm sure you'll get away with it eventually...
Propaganda is when someone starts with a conclusion and stops thinking there.
Yes, it clearly has.
No good person could possibly be supporting such a genocide, and yet, you are. Really opened my eyes.
How will you know it when you see it?
He'll see it when the Israeli settlers start accidentally getting bombed.
Then we have two popular government organizations murdering civilians en mass - one much more well funded and more effective at slaughter than the other. The logic still must hold in reverse, no?
