It is over dramatic, but it isn't out of left field.
It's obvious, to me at least, that there is a either a hidden motive or a fair amount of hate behind Nage's involvement in this discussion.
Almost every one of his posts is based entirely on a straw man argument, ignoring the posts of others or purposely distorting them to better suit his own narrative. His sympathy to the Palestinian people who are the largest victims of this whole engagement is shallow and fleeting, while his sympathy to Israel is overwhelming to the point of obvious bias. It's a situation where he has shown he clearly believes Israel has full justification for it's actions, and every innocent Palestinian dead is dead for just and noble reasons, or some inevitable occurrence.
The value of life is not equitable. Whether this is from hate and dehumanisation, I can't really say for sure.

I don't think anyone here is suggesting that Hamas aren't ####ing dickbags.

I think a couple people are. There are some people in this discussion that are certainly dangerously bias towards the Hamas, much like Nage's bias towards Israel. This, unfortunately, leads to a fair amount of confusion and anger when the less bias contributors to the discussion say anything critical of Israel, as they are bizarrely attacked under the false assumption that they are defending Hamas or suggesting Israel give up entirely.
Though I think talking about fallacies is a little pretentious (and I've already done it once in this post), you could burn this entire place down with the amount of straw men being built by some contributors.
Assumptions can be made towards intent of course, but the amount of attacking that occurs based on very simple and calm claims is truly bizarre.
