    Yep, you’re right again. one of my posts got deleted for “genocide apologia” but I’m not promoting anything of the sort. Israel is behaving disproportionately, enabling citizens to do all kinds of illegal shit and not batting an eye.

    I’m not excusing their behaviour, I am saying the motivation behind their behaviour, which is the purpouse of the article being discussed. Why are Israelis indifferent about what’s happening in Gaza? Because this situation isn’t just “israel bad”. Yes , Israel bad, but also, other people bad too.

          You’re trying to explain how Israelis’ indifference to Palestinian suffering is valid - at least in part - due to the actions of Hamas. This frames the situation in such a way that both sides of the conflict are in the wrong and must find middle ground, completely ignoring the clear and undeniable asymmetry in the relationship between Israel and Palestine which firmly places full responsibility on Israel.
