    Being against the genocide of gazans isn’t anti-semitism. God damn it this is basic shit, how many times does this shit have to be explained.

    And if you’re taking the IDF’s word at face value… lol

      That’s one of the most frustrating things about discussing this. Racists and antisemites are running free and forcing us to be wary. You’ve got people saying it’s okay for Israel to kill kids, but wrong of Hamas to. You’ve got people refusing to condemn Hamas for their attack, and instead blaming it all on Israel.

      This issue has way more extremists than usual, and it’s exhausting.

      From the article:

      The HAMAS-RUN Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip says at least 500 people have been killed in an explosion that it says was caused by an Israeli airstrike.

      So you won’t trust Israel but you’ll trust Hamas? Lmao.

        You’re right, I was hasty. I’ll reserve my judgement for when there’s better information out there. Hamas is absolutely not to be trusted either.

      Much better to take a literal terrorist organization’s word at face value despite video evidence to the contrary, of course.

        Who? The Israeli government? I don’t believe anything they or hamas say on face value.

      I don’t see you protesting the deaths of Israelite? You know, that thing Hamas did that started the current events? Also, you realize you’re taking anti-Israeli propaganda at face value? That’s what al Jazeera is now. As others posted, there’s videos of the rocket misfire.

      Who stands more to gain from this? A terrorist organization known for attacking its own citizens and blaming it on Israel? Or a nation that will receive universal condemnation for such an event?

        Fuck Hamas, and fuck the Israeli government. Let’s wait for more reporting to verify who killed 500 people in a hospital (fuck whoever did that). But in the meantime maybe don’t be claiming anti semitism when people ask for genocide to stop?

          Did you say that because you were reading my other comments? How about you read the one where I link to people calling for death to Israel because of this event. What else would you call people who openly eat anti-Israeli propaganda and call for their death?

          Condemnation is fine, but you better have your facts correct before you go making a mistake.
