Arguing what was left of Palestine before the Six Days War has the right to exist without occupation, homes and crops seized and burnt, being bombed relentlessly, being kidnapped, held and tortured is in no way arguing Israel has no right to exist.

And Palestinians exercised that right by doing what? Killing Israeli citizens?

Imagine if Hamas spent aid money on developing Gaza instead.

Stop justifying genocide. This is a repetitively grossly disproportionate retaliation, gaslighting to hide genocide. Period. Hasbara/IDF are fascist apologists, full stop. “Never again” applies to all or none.

No need to move the goal post; am not a fan of Bibi either. Hamas certainly played into his hands. I don't think he really cared about tripping hippies.

I was addressing what you said.

There is a tiresome campaign to try to not even mention October 7 even pretending Hamas didn't do all the killing, as if the IDF also killed many of their own citizens on the day. Now that is gaslighting.
