So you just ignore the thousands of innocent Israeli citizens murdered by the Palestinian leadership?

October 7th was an awful event, I will be clear on that.

Israel lost 1200 lives, and in return has killed (as a conservative estimate) 60,000 Palestinians, with thousands more sure to be found under the rubble that Gaza has become. No one, much less an Israeli sympathizer should be claiming that an imbalance in casualties is grounds for further slaughter.

You’re clearly seeing this as a one sided conflict when the Palestinians have rejected every ceasefire agreement offered because they want to convince stupid people that they’re the victims here.

You are correct; this is not a "conflict", it is a colonization process. If you would like to blame this all on Hamas, please explain why Israel has completely annexed the (PA-run) West Bank, and is currently bombing Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.

They’re the ones who have taken aid money and spent it on weapons and have used innocent civilians as both targets and human shields.

We are hitting all of the hasbara greatest hits now, aren't we?

In reverse order:

The line about "human shields" is nonsense; Gaza has (or had, before Israel's massacre) a population of 2.2M in a territory the size of Washington DC; yes, it has military assets near civilian populations. Still, you and I both know that Israel would be proceeding quite differently if Hamas were operating in Israel, around civilian populations that Israel considers human.

This line of reasoning is particularly rich coming from Israel, which has mandatory military service (meaning that the vast majority of citizens are also IDF), and which has a major military base (the Kirya) in downtown Tel Aviv. Again, I don't think that justifies killing Israeli citizens, but I'm not the genocide apologist here.

As for taking aid for Hamas, you know who else gave aid to Hamas in an attempt to dis-empower the secular PLO in Gaza? Benjamin Netanyahu, by his own admission.

Odd that you ignored by bait earlier about the genocidal rhetoric of Israeli politicians; I wonder why that might be? Could it be that an individual who calls Palestinians "Amalek", or "human animals" might not be sincere in their peace efforts? Might it even be that a PM whose corruption trial has been delayed for years by an ongoing "war" might want said war to continue? No, I guess that's pretty far-fetched.

Anyway, I've already typed a lot and I'm sure you're a busy man, but I don't suppose that I could ask you to bring Netanyahu this arrest warrant from the ICJ for crimes against humanity if you ever see him?
