    What the hell are you even talking about. You’re just using talking points.

    Media loves Palestinians. Guess what - Hamas, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, they all love when you conflate them with the poor Palestinians. But they are separate. Palestinians get screwed by Hamas, etc. Western media coverage is deeply problematic. You should know this by now with all the disinformation campaigns online the past 7 years.

    To answer your question, there is a shitload of sympathy for them. But you don’t get to do unrepentant violence. Raping and murdering babies.

    Please do not ignore Palestinian leaders who steal aid from their own people, brainwash their children to hate Jews, and spout rhetoric that the Jews caused the Holocaust.

    Please do not reduce it to a blood feud. It only shows you’re a morally outraged outsider and got no clue. This is hate and racism. It’s middle eastern politics. It’s a proxy war, and it’s a tale of having democracy in a deeply corrupt and autocratic region.

    The best thing you can do is stay out of it and stick to your peaceful talking point. Because that’s what we need. Not more uneducated “advocates.” It serves no one.

      Didn’t realize those 260 children were secret Hamas-Iranian-Syrian-Lebanese agents. I apologize.

      Don’t know where I said that was okay, but go off, I guess.

      Please do not ignore Palestinian leaders who steal aid from their own people, brainwash their children to hate Jews, and spout rhetoric that the Jews caused the Holocaust.

      Again, I don’t know where I said otherwise, but keep tilting at that windmill.

      Please do not reduce it to a blood feud. It only shows you’re a morally outraged outsider and got no clue. This is hate and racism. It’s middle eastern politics.

      … what exactly do you think a blood feud is, if not hate and racism? I’m curious.

      It’s a proxy war, and it’s a tale of having democracy in a deeply corrupt and autocratic region.

      That’s some ‘they hate us for our freedumbs’ level post-9/11 spirit, right there.

        You’re beyond out of touch. Are you from the region?

        Would you call systemic racism in the USA a blood feud? Would you call white supremacy a blood feud? I think all the words you’re using don’t mean what you think they mean.
