@MxM111 @jeena @FlyingSquid @grte That was a long winded way of saying that you just started paying attention after Oct 7th and are entirely ignorant of what atrocities Israel committed against the Palestinians prior to that date.
You are attempting to justify Israeli ethnic cleansing that has been occurring since LONG before October 7th, which has cost thousands of Palestinian lives and maimed even more. The Israeli aren't the victims, they are the invaders by their own admission

@MxM111 @jeena @FlyingSquid @grte Next time, read the whole article - gets worse when you realize the Israeli have are the invaders
And then it gets worse than that

Israel is truly a terrorist nation no matter how you charitable you are
@MxM111 @jeena @FlyingSquid @grte
"Mahmoud stood by the side of a road, waiting for the sounds of shooting in the distance to stop, and was not holding any weapon or projectile, a witness said and a security-camera video that Human Rights Watch reviewed showed. After the distant shooting had stopped and the Israeli forces were withdrawing, a single shot fired from an Israeli military vehicle roughly 100 meters away struck Mahmoud, the witness said. No Palestinian fighters were in the area"

I mean literally months before October 7th the Israeli were murdering Palestinian children in the West Bank... where Hamas isn't. You might want to catch up on what's really going on in the Occupied territories
@MxM111 @jeena @FlyingSquid @grte You say that as we're literally watching the Israeli conduct ethnic cleansing for the past several decades of the Palestinian people. So yes demonstrable the Israeli are worse.
@MxM111 @jeena @FlyingSquid @grte The question is was the doctor under duress by Israeli forces? It's not like Israel plays it straight, or has any reason to. Israel has used human shields, Israel has attacked and is currently attacking Palestinians in the West B. ank where Hamas isn't, Israel even violated the ceasefire first. So let's not pretend that they are an honest broker, because they aren't
@MxM111 @jeena @FlyingSquid @grte That's fair, they're terrorists. That said, Israel by every measure is worse
@MxM111 @jeena @FlyingSquid @grte Remember, it's Israel claiming what those bunkers are used for and by whom, and they are well known to lie.
Generally speaking, never trust anyone engaged in ethnic cleansing.
@Nacktmull Texas didn't. I'm using it as an example.
Consider that Texas was once part of Mexico, and imagine if a group of militant Mexicans tried to seize Texas back for " historical" reasons. Now imagine how well Texans might react to that.
It's a reference for Americans to look at Israel versus Palestine
@Nacktmull @steventhedev Exactly @Nactmull Pretty sure anyone in her position would be saying less than kind things about their oppresor..and Texans would be DOING less than kind things to them
@MxM111 @jeena @FlyingSquid @grte Except the right wing, government of Israel was put in place by a democratic process. Light criticism of Israel, doesn't excuse israel's criminal, terroristic conduct that's been going on for decades. Decades!
You're basically trying to whitewash what Israel has done and that's what's disgusting. Israel's right wing government, is worse than Hamas, murdered and maimed far more, for longer than just one day.
