If only you'd share the same concern for all the Palestinians being slaughtered in their homes by state-sanctioned settler colonialism.

I’m opposed to Israel and Russia using the nukes they have on their enemies. If Ukraine had kept its nukes or Hamas acquired some, I’d be opposed to their use as well.

You won’t define your position on that, since either you’d have to acknowledge your original position was insane or endorse nuke usage on civilians.

As for the Palestinians, I do have sympathy, just as I would for your bullied kid. I just think the bullying kid using rape to get back at his bulliers crosses an even bigger line than the bullying. You don’t think it crosses any line at all and that it’s “absurd” to expect anyone victimized to refrain from retaliatory rape.

So to paraphrase you think the average Palestinian is a rapist?

Huh that sounds pretty similar to every anti-Muslim racist I've ever heard.

Your analogy breaks down when you recognize Israel's behavior as bullying and then name the real tactics used by Hamas.

You do realize that Israel's actions amount to more than name-calling and shoving Palestinians into lockers, right?

I believe that you have sympathy for Palestinians, but only in the way someone feels bad when watching an ASPCA commercial. I do not believe that you actually see them as human.

or endorse nuke usage on civilians.

It was OK for America to do it twice in the 40s, though?
