Maybe you didn't, but posters were calling what Israel is doing as genocide and specifically targeting civilians.

I think you and blaster have misread the comment chain.
Generally those critical or Israeli occupation policy have to fall all over themselves to legitimize the grievances of Israel, as ffphd did in his post.
The opposite is scarcely the case, and when supplied with an opportunity to legitimize
any grievance of the Palestinian cause, blankall felt attacked and needed to defend the state by telling us how good things were because they set up field hospitals for the civilians they've killed and injured.
Undercover brother pointed it out already, grievances of Israeli policy can't be legitimized unless you provide euqual airtime to all the good they do (which is a load of patronizing hooey).
The critics of Israeli policy in this thread routinely acknowledge the issues Israel has with Palestinian resistance/independence movement, but the supporters of Israel are generally as seen in blqnkalls post, unable to legitimize anything regarding the state of the occupied territories.
It is an absurdity that underlies the morally and mentally tenuous justification for this continued occupation.
Can't let anything slip through the cracks, gotta be a stone wall, can't show any weakness. Can't entertain the idea that thinks are not resolutely and resoundingly just; that the Palestinian people brought this upon themselves and Israel is an unfortunate bystander in all of this, beyond reproach, having never made a miss step.
It is really, really sad to see the lengths people will go to absolve abhorrent behaviour.
