    The comment I was replying to literally said Israel was doing all this so they could take the Gaza land from the Palestinians using Hamas as an excuse. That’s not condemnation, that’s inventing a reason to hate Israel.

      It is a fact that Israel under Netanyahu empowered and propped up Hamas. An indisputable fact. Thus a logical argument can be made that Israel stood to benefit from Hamas in power. Not sure what’s made up about that.

      Again, criticism of Israel does not equal hatred of Israel or antisemitism in any way. It’s a bad faith argument to act like they’re the same.

        And again, Hamas is completely responsible for their own actions, no matter who they’re taking money from. It’s like saying the U.S. is responsible for war crimes because they’ve given money to Israel. The actors in the scene are responsible for what they do. In the context of the user I was replying to, they clearly stated Israel is supporting Hamas so they can take Gaza for themselves. That’s what I disputed. That’s not criticism, it’s manufactured.

          Oh man, you’re so close to getting it.
