Just as interesting seeing the response from fans of Israel, attacking anyone in Gaza, including women, children, medics, volunteers, you name it, is framed as "attacking Hamas", whereas attacking anyone in Ukraine, armed and fighting or otherwise, is framed as "attacking Ukranians". You certainly are a testimony to effective messaging on the part of the White House and the state of Israel. Their propaganda specialists must be very happy with their work.

Clearly you just make stuff up to fit your narrative and justify your position. You asked a question, the answer was pretty obvious but you keep trying to deny that Hamas has any complicity and try to convince people that the US is the guilty one. Unbelievably naive. Or worse.

Point to the part where I said Hamas has no complicity!

I said, sure, there are militants in Gaza but that Blinken and yourself frame any attack by Israel in Gaza as an attack on Hamas, regardless of whether civilians were targeted or not and frame any attack on Ukraine as an attack on Ukrainians, not on Ukrainian militant groups or Ukraine's military.

I'd recommend re reading what I wrote, if I believed you were arguing in good faith. As I don't, you can relax and find something more productive to do with your time.

It’s so blatantly clear you’re a shill by your inflammatory and misrepresenting comments. Your words “Blinken is tacitly endorsing the extreme Zionist position that there are no innocent civilians in Gaza. “ “According to Blinken all Ukrainians are innocent while all Gaza’s are Hamas” “Israel is a terrorist, rouge state.” “Israel’s been actively trying to eradicate the people of Gaza” “Zionism is built on antisemitism and requires it for its existence.”

Then you accuse me of parroting “White House propaganda” on Israel.

Well, at least this disproves the thesis that you're a bot. Not much else though. Well done you for mastering the cut and paste function. Now get to the part where you're actually addressing the points of the person you're arguing with. It's a bit more complicated than simply repeating them verbatim and calling it a day.

So you don’t like when your own disgusting words come back at ya? So noted.

Nope, I don't mind. I wrote them, you just haven't shown they're wrong!
