That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not the IDF's fault.

And if it was, they didn't mean it.

And if they did, Gaza deserved it.

and if you don't agree, you're antisemitic

    I actually got accused of being racist for saying that anti-zionism and anti-semitism are not the same thing.

      I know Zionism as the idea that Jewish people have the right to self-determination.

      Do you: 1 - Think that it is something different? 2 - Think that it is, but Jewish people specifically do not have it? (I believe this is racist) 3 - Think that no people have it? 4 - Something else?

      If you think that Jewish people have it but just not in Palestine, where in the world do you think they should have had it?

    I don’t think we can truly compare the missile attacks of Hamas vs the bombing campaigns of Israel

    Look at any photo of any neighborhood in Israel, is there anywhere that remotely looks similar to the pile of rocks that Gaza looks like now?

    Universities, hospitals, so much infrastructure, all gone. So much of Gaza is now people living in tents. Israel destroyed so much civilian infrastructure that existed.

    How’s that similar to you?

      Look, I don't disagree, but American cities looked pretty fine after WWII, and Germany was rubble. Which side gets pounded more doesn't inherently prove which side was right.

      (In this case, I'm of the opinion that both sides committed clear, deliberate war crimes.)

      It's been years of missile strikes. No diplomacy worked. "Israel shouldn't exist, period". Then 7/10 happened.

      What else should've Israel wait for? Dirty bomb? Nuclear attack?

      I'm not pro Israel, especially not after this report, but your point is silly. The US has sold billions in defense weapons/tools to prevent rockets from hitting Israel. Gaza did not have access to the same defenses. That is why the outcomes look different.

      Israel wasn't bombing those neighborhoods for revenge, they were doing it because Hamas build militarized tunnels under dense civilian neighborhoods.

    Hamas brags even about their failed attacks.

    Your comparison fails at the first step.

    > And if it was, we didn't mean it.

    And this one! How often does Hamas pull the "we didn't mean it!" card for their attacks on Israel? Have they ever? Of course they mean it, they're a bunch of assholes.
