Saying that you know you can and should denounce a terrorist group for slaying 1300+ Jews, and then not doing that, is a bit tone-deaf for the Jewish folks that are still in mourning from watching the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

I am a humanist. My heart is for everybody including the Jewish people who I see is my brothers and sisters.

I was raised in a Muslim household. We are not actually unfortunately as crazy as people want us to be.

I see everybody as my brothers and sisters.. I have no reason to hate.

Even if a murderous government with over 100 million dollars in military equipment wipes us all out. Meanwhile our people have almost nothing

They cut off the electricity the water The internet the food everything. It's 2 million people that's in now the world's biggest extermination camp concentration camp.

I feel for the Israelis I feel for the Jewish. I do not feel and will never feel 1 miligram of remorse for all the war mongers. For Benjamin netanyahu. For the likud party. For the atrocious decisions that this government has been making.

Which have led to this

Jewish people dying. The blood is on Benjamin's hands. He knew the attacks were coming it's proven already. They spent over 10 billion dollars on that border you think they don't have the knowledge.

They knew about the attacks since September. Egypt warned a whole 3 days before it happened. With proof.

Okay calm down. And lets start by you giving us an example and denounce the genocide and atrocities that is being done and will be done to to the Palestinians. And don't bring Holocaust in this context, It has nothing to do with any of this conflict.
Plenty calm. The context of the past 100 years of Jews being slaughtered by the millions kind of does have to do with this conflict.

100% denounce Hamas for slaughtering Jewish people in their own homes. 100% denounce the Israeli government's treatment of Gaza. My heart breaks for civilians of Israel and civilians of Palestine.

That's good. But again the Holocaust is something was done to Jews by the German Nazis. You cannot just hold that against other people. If you feel that someone needs to pay the price then you might advocate for a Jewish state in German. That would be more suitable. That's a discussion that we can have and could disagree but not here.

But for now this is a post about potential ongoing genocide. Nothing justifies that and bringing the atrocities committed in the past against Jews are not suitable because it can be easily be interpreted as justification (they are not). And your choice of words is biased "slaughtering Jewish people in their own homes" vs "Israeli government's treatment of Gaza" does not capture the reality of the atrocities. But that's fine I did not expect that anyway.

He's fine. There's way worst then him out in the real world.

Like meta employees. Openly commenting on IDF propaganda meanwhile Palestinians accounts are getting deleted wholesale.
