    Where we disagree is in saying Hamas didn’t start this current conflict. They certainly did. Has shit been going on here for millenia? of course. The “strawman” was to remind you of the fact this opened with mass rape and murder at a music festival – that’s a fact.

    You seemed to argue that thousand years of history seemingly justifies that and I’m telling you that it does not. " If Hamas did "… So you’re absolute when it comes to Israel but when it comes to Hamas there’ are modifiers. Your bias is showing.

    Israel has done plenty of things that they should not be doing. The warlike bombardment of a city is not justified and has soured world opinion against them.

      My “bias” is not an argument. Everyone has their biasias. The problem is that israel continues to lie on the narrative and just in this short span of time we’ve seen their lies come out. Take the “40 beheaded babies” for example. I’m open to an independent investigator.

      Also it’s very rich. You really like to dig on this issue of mass killing and rape and take issue with it but don’t take issue with israel doing the same exact thing and worse back. That is a double standard hypocrisy.

      Keep strawmaning me. I never said it justifies it.
