Sowing confusion to deflect blame is Tel Aviv’s usual propaganda strategy.

      Israel has been doing tons of that since 1949 - where were you and the rest of the pearl-clutchers all this time?

        Not advocating for the slaughtering of innocent civilians, because I’m not a monster.

          And offering nothing but slap-on-the-wrist apologetics for Israel’s decades-old genocide while demonising Palestinians when they fight back makes you (somehow) less of a monster?

                  So you admit to glossing over Israel’s decades-long genocide?

                  That’s remarkably honest for a liberal.

                    Nope, I admit to saying that advocating for the slaughtering of innocent civilians is disgusting.

                    If you think those 2 things are the same, then you might have brain damage.

        I don’t see here where anyone is trying to justify Israel. They’re wrong. So are Hamas. It’s that simple.

          Here… you dropped some of your pro-Israel “both-side-ism” tropes - let me point it out for you.

          When you are trying to accuse someone of supporting the slaughtering civilians, and they aren’t supporting Israel in this particular conflict, then by definition they aren’t supporting the slaughtering of innocent civilians.

          On the other hand, if you are criticizing Hamas for attacking valid Israeli targets in their fight for freedom, you are implicitly supporting the slaughter of civilians. i.e. you support the fact that Israel regularly bombs hospitals and evacuation routes.
