      “Near Gaza” meaning “on stolen land.”

      You could not miss the point harder if you tried. You are not capable. You’d have to care what words mean, instead of just going ‘oh yeah well you must be excusing other bad thing!’ No, genius. I am explaining how the Israeli side is also pretty goddamn far from innocent.

        Who gives a fuck whose land it’s on? They’re civilians, Hamas has NO reason or justification for attacking a music festival it holds no military or strategic value. Those civilians didn’t bomb Palestinians. They aren’t the people pushing expansion. They’re just fucking civilians, and if you’re going to say one side killing civilians, even accidentally, is bad, you HAVE to condemn the other side for willingly attacking a civilian gathering.

            I try not to.

            Very valuable addition to the conversation, call out a bit in a post made still groggy from waking up instead of actually addressing the argument. GOTTEEEEEEM I fuckin guess.

            Get back to me when you want to address the point.

              If you didn’t read what you’re replying to, in the first place, how would more words help?

              You’d have to care what words mean, instead of just going ‘oh yeah well you must be excusing other bad thing!’

              No, genius. I am explaining how the Israeli side is also pretty goddamn far from innocent.

              Yet here you were, coming in hot to say ‘how dare you defend the side you’re also condemning.’ I can’t have an argument in the absence of object permanence.
