    Equal condemnation for unequal sin minimizes the greater and exaggerates the lesser. That ceases to be an answer and becomes a cover for genocidal fascists against a national liberation movement.

        No, this is just chavuanism. Israel is genocidal because it is founded on settler-colonialism, it isn’t an intrinsic racial issue.

          Close your eyes and pretend hamas has the US’s arsenal. What happens in the next few months or so?

              You’re saying Israel is genocidal but hamas isn’t. They simply don’t have the means. Yes, Israel is the bad guy, but by their decades of settler colonialism have cultivated a group literally dedicated to their eradication. Fighting a bad guy doesn’t automatically make you a good guy. They’re just less awful by comparison.

                Hamas might be genocidal.
                Israel is genocidal.

                I’m not gonna go so far as to say Hamas are good guys, but treat people according to what they have done and not what they may do. They’re not currently on the same level.
