I'm not saying "both sides", Israel is absolutely worse than Hamas. Israel was founded by terrorists and honors them by naming streets and buildings after them. Israel has been an ethnic cleansing project from the start and has used acts of terrorism to accomplish their goals all along the way. They've most recently ripped their masks off and are committing full-on genocide now, in a manner so flagrant that many who were ignorant to the horrors perpetuated by Israel can see it now.
Yes, that's right, Israel is worse than a terrorist group, which is quite the accomplishment for a "legitimate" state. Israel should be dissolved like Nazi Germany was. The world doesn't need an apartheid ethnostate, especially when it commits genocide.
Yup, pushing "both sides" narrative to in an effort normalize the genocide committed by Hamas on October 7. Everything you're saying, I've seen before.
You know that Hamas committed genocide, but by refusing to accept reality you prove your dedication to "the cause." This a pattern of behavior that's common in cults, the MAGA movement and many many fascist movements. Nothing you're saying is unique, nothing you're doing is original. It's not even unique to behave in this way in support of group that wants the genocide of Jews.
You talk of history but you haven't learned from the patterns of behaviour. How have things historically worked out for people that disconnect from reality in their support of a genocidal movement?
This is not true. You have a slanted view of history, and it seems once again you're doing the "both sides" thing (are you capable of any other way of thinking?) so that Hamas terrorism is fine. It's not. If it upsets you that Israel honors people that attacked the British for limiting Jewish immigration from Europe during the time period that the Nazis were in control of Europe (maybe you haven't thought about what was happening in Europe at that time just as you refuse to think about what happened on October 7) then why would you think it's acceptable for Palestinians to be terrorists? Nonsense "both sides" logic again.
But whatever, you're just another boring person "both sides" stuck both sides logic (which is actually logical) that got sucked into a fascist movement. This conversation has the exact same pattern as my conversations with MAGAs. An exhausting explanation of reality to someone that wants to loudly deny reality to prove their loyalty to their movement.
Your next impulse will be to say that I've wasted my time by having a conversation with you, because then you'd feel you won something wasting the time of someone that your movement considers an enemy... I guess? Never understood that impulse, seems to me like a self-own to say that someone else wasted their time by having a conversation with you. But that's the pattern of a conversation with a fascist. Because the goal of someone in a fascist movement isn't to learn anything, the goal is to put on a performance to prove loyalty to the movement.
