So, just so we’re clear: Israel, which enjoys more economic, military, and diplomatic support from Western and European nations than any other country in the Middle East by far, is not being treated fairly compared to Hamas, which enjoys none of the above, because their military actions and killing of civilians, which is disproportionately (to an insane degree) large compared to Hamas, are being criticized disproportionately compared to Hamas, who should be receiving equal criticism. And this is being argued by people who have responded to the latest condemnable incidents by Israel by ignoring those incidents and instead almost immediately resorting to complaining about the way Israel is treated…
This is absurd to watch. And that’s without mentioning the fact that it is incredibly difficult to offer up condemnation of all parties when one group is committing more condemnable acts with more regularity than any other party. What are people supposed to do? Every week they mention the hundreds of innocent people Israel killed that week they should also choose a number of people Hamas killed at any point in history?
“Israel killed over one hundred innocent civilians this week as they continue to pursue the eradication of the Palestinian people of Gaza. But a senior Hamas official also said the dead of Gaza were material losses that would be easily replaced. These things are equally bad.”
That’s what is going to make people happy?
