    I have been and always will be anti-Hamas. And never have I said that Palestinians == Hamas. You have to misquote me to attack me. You’re defending literal terrorists that would kill you without hesitation, who raped parents and brutalized children. Israel has shown great restraint towards the Palestinian people. Does Gaza still exist? Have they leveled it, like any other nation would have after having hundreds of rockets per day shot at them? Of course, Israel is trying to minimize civilian casualties, and for that you will attack them.

      I can’t be arsed to dig through your comments and find a specific example so I’ll just go with the equally valid rebuttal: You have implied it, however! The assertion that israel is defending itself against “existential threats” (and clarifying that threat is Hamas) while at the same time arguing that israel is totally justified logically implies that the thousands of civilians being wiped out by israel are equally culpable for Hamas’ crimes, and are a threat to israel.
