It isn't legit criticism, much of it is vile revisionism that does not reflect reality. Want to talk facts, we are all up for it. Spreading misinformation or being silent on other details, that isn't debate, they are lies that contribute to the protests where people support Hamas.
Your second sentence is a classic anti-Semite dog whistle, say it enough and you drown out legit criticism of vile hate speech. It is 2023, if you spread it, you will be called out for it. The truth is available if you read, otherwise, stay out.
Years ago in this site those that cried out against Hamas were the absolute minority, people reveled in calling me names here for being a 'zionist', or a reasonable target for Hamas (since I am jewish). Most of them are silent this week or were long banned from the site. Other are finally stepping up and saying ENOUGH.
