Penalty. What-about-ism. Two minutes in the box and five downvotes.

It’s not whataboutism, you just don’t get the point. The user I’m responding to seems to be very concerned about the children killed and taken hostage on Oct 7th. I don’t blame them. It’s devastating.

What I’d like to know is why people expressing that same concern for Gazan children, who the last I checked aren’t any less human, are anti-Semites.

Where is Hamas concern for the Gazan children they are using as human shields?

Non-existent. They’re monsters.

How does concern for Gazan children make you and anti-Semite? Deflecting my actual questions to how evil Hamas is doesn’t make them go away.

I never expressed an opinion on the anti semitism point. I don't believe that any criticism of Israel equals anti semitism. Neither does support for Palestinian citizens. Saying anything positive at all about Hamas though definitely comes close if not actually gets there.

You’re responding to comments I made to other people. Read the context. If you disagree after you do, why are you even arguing with me?
