(30,109 posts)I don't expect people like you to ever condemn Hamas or the PLO on your own w/o being called out on your views first. At most on your own it's a few lines and then the other 99.9% is ripping into Israel. You don't get points for that.
FWIW, Israel is adhering to Geneva Law WRT combat. They are allowed to defend their citizens. According to the Geneva Conventions, Hamas is responsible for their civilians' deaths due to human shielding. That's just a fact.
I understand you cannot ever admit to such a thing, which basically proves my point. You are doing Hamas' hasbara when you accuse Israel of crimes that Hamas is responsible for. You're running interference for Hamas when you deny their human shielding strategy has led to all civilian deaths during the last war. You do Palestinians no favor when you do this.
Hamas is clearly victimizing them when using them as shields. Hamas can only get away with what they do (and they'll keep doing it, committing double-war crimes) with the help of nice "progressives" like yourself. And with the help of far righting fascists who hate Israel because....well, that's what they do.
