if you think acknowledging that changes anything, think again.
as soon as you DARE to criticise israel's inhumane acts, as soon as you dare to speak out against the killing of palestinian women and babies, as soon as you provide some political and historic context that goes back further than their chosen narrative, which begins exactly 6 days ago, you're labeled an anti-semite, terrorism supporter, jihadist.
those people don't do nuance. they don't mind the apartheid, they don't mind the oppression, they don't mind the decades of discrimination and dispossessing. all they want "revenge", all they want is blood. they don't even realise that people like them are the main cause for the radicalisation that leads to the unspeakable atrocities committed by both sides...

it shouldn't be. but some people are simply not intelligent, informed, or mature enough to acknowledge that it's more complicated than their simplistic good vs. evil dichotomy.
bottom line, they simply can't be reasoned with. they just outright ignore the parts that don't fit into their narrative, and try to smear and silence you with ridiculous lies and accusations - even if you repeatedly stated the exact opposite of what they claim your position is.

that distinction does not exist, its just wishful thinking at best by terribly naive people
hamas is gaza and gaza is hamas, they control everything, basically everyone supports them, they use non combatants as shields to produce awful pictures and gather support from morons in the west
it's almost like they are TRYING to prove me right, lol. when you have that palestinian children are all hamas in order to justify their indiscriminate slaughtering you know that YOU'RE the one justifying atrocities - while ironically accusing people, who repeatedly denounced atrocities from the occupied, as terrorism apologists. it's pure projection really. accuse the other side of what you're guilty of. propaganda 101. in reality, everybody know who has been killing the other side by a rate of more than 20 to 1... women, children, medical personnel, reporters, human rights activists, unarmed protesters... but hey, all "terrosists", all legitimate targets...
