I’m not siding with Hamas here

~ You, while entirely ignoring their crimes against humanity.

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If that's your takeaway, you're either completely lacking in reading comprehension or purposely misrepresenting my argument.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I read what you wrote. If you wanted me to think differently, you should have wrote differently.

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You read it but you processed nothing. Nowhere did I say that Hamas are the good guys or that their actions are excusable.

I do not know how I can dumb this down further for you.

No, you just speak out only against their enemies- in a conversation that’s about how BOTH of them are equally to blame. And equally wrong…. While claiming to be impartial.

Talk about dumbing down- you can’t even see your own hypocrisy.

I wrote a whole paragraph up there addressing this. You treat this as if these are two equal sides, like a chess match. This is not the case. Subjugating millions of people will breed extremism. Explaining the root causes of extremism is not the same thing as condoning extremism. To end it, they need to begin by ending the subjugation or this cycle will continue.

I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand, and I don't know how many times I need to repeat that concept.
