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.

Okay...I've never denied that Palestinians are suffering or have grievances. The idea that Israel is purposely targeting civilians and committing genocide is BS though. My point really is with all the genuine suffering, why do posters feel the need to go over the top with their rhetoric about Israel.
The fact you accuse me of rhetoric for mentioning a field hospital is baffling. That's not rhetoric, that's statement of a fact. Israel is spending millions of dollars on the health care of wounded Palestinians. They are treating them in their own hospitals and have set up temporary hospitals within Gaza.
I also don't get where these accusations that I am "internalizing" the conflict are coming from. From what I can tell, my posts seem to be quite logical, as opposed to emotional. Sorry I'm bringing up facts that don't fit into your wild accusations.
I'm really not sure what your point is...unless I admit that Israel is committing genocide (which is nowhere close to the truth), I'm not acknowledging the suffering of the Palestinians?
