   Thoughts for #Zionists:

   If all #Palestinians are culpable for the actions of #Hamas because they voted for them 18 years ago, does that mean all Israelis are culpable for the actions of Benjamin #Netanyahu?

   Yeah, I didn't think so.

     I've always remembered the "townhall" interview Nelson Mandela did on his visit to the USA in 1990.

     When a US journalist attempted (to his own embarrassment)to upbraid Mandela on his personal contacts (and those of the ANC) with Cuba (Fidel Castro) and the PLO (Yasser Arafat), he reminded him that:

     "one of the mistakes, which some political analysts make, is to think that their enemies should be our enemies"

     I get this a lot - I sure wish Berners-Lee had established a sarcasm tag

     Oh I don't believe what I said, don't get me wrong here - I'm saying these Culpability and Liberation arguments are mostly lying propaganda and are stretched like taffy to cover the most horrible situations.

     Yeah, heh, the IDF is "liberating" Gaza. But look who they're fighting, Hamas has been a designated terror org since 1997

     Bill repeated this.

     @tuban_muzuru Yep, just like the Nazis liberated the Warsaw ghetto from "Jewish terrorism" ...

     Do you ever listen to yourself?

     When Hamas came to power, they murdered all the PA officials, especially the policemen. Dragged them into the streets, shot them through the head. Hamas is no different than ISIS - they enforce Islamic hudud law.

     Now, I'd never say this out loud - I'd get dogpiled - but is there an argument to be made, however odd it may sound... that IDF is liberating Gaza from Islamic terrorism, as the USA did in Mosul, for example?
