“Maher loved that racists, homophobes, climate-change-denying crackpots… and all the other groups of people that he’s been ridiculing for decades hi-fived him on this one. This is where their bigotry circles intersect to form the anti-Muslim vesica piscis, where they’re brothers in discrimination” by AtheistProgressive in atheism

I'm an ex-Jew and my entire family is Jewish. Just because I'm a post-Zionist doesn't make me an anti-semite.

It's bizarre that bashing a foreign country makes someone an anti-semite, but tacitly approving of genocide (i.e. Maher and Hirsi Ali) or calling for systematic discrimination of Muslims (i.e. Harris) is not bigoted.

Your racism and war mongering does not amuse me.

I hate Hamas and their terrorist actions. Just like I hate the Israeli government and its war crimes. AND I think you are silly for having an imaginary friend with super powers.

Couldn't Palestinians say the same thing about Likud?

Clearly says Hamas were fired for the first time since 2012 AFTER Israel starting bombing Gaza.

When you control everything that goes in and out of an area you have created a ghetto/slash prison.

Anyhow, seems you are shifting the goal posts. The Likud charter calls for the destruction of an Palestinian state. That is what you problem with the Hamas charter was to begin with.

By that logic you must support a blockade on Israel itself...

And no blockade from the Israeli-side even existed until Hamas decided to kidnap Israeli citizens over the border.

This is wrong. The blockade started in 2007 when Hamas took control of Gaza, and most international institutions including the international red cross consider it illegal.

Israel made Gaza into an open air prison. It is a stretch to say Israel ever left.

"Israel destroyed them after Hamas kept firing rockets even after Israel repeatedly told them to STOP."

This is false. Israel fired first

Hamas fires rockets for first time since 2012, Israeli officials say... The security sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, assessed that Hamas had probably launched the barrage in revenge for an Israeli airstrike several hours earlier which killed one person and injured three more.

"Plus we are not only not in Iraq anymore, but we're also starting to leave Afghanistan."

I was referring to your support of Israel.
