"Hamas is perhaps the first regime in recorded history to fight a war designed to maximize casualties among their own population."
And that only works for them if there is a host of outsiders, "progressives," who will agonize over and blame Israel for that suffering.

Mehdi, it's beyond yr level of understanding. You and those you support and defend are the ones making American Jews unsafe. You are the master of ridiculous offensive and dangerous statements.
But I guess that's the whole point: combine hypocrisy, projection, and indignation.
Of all the sickening developments of recent days, the ugliest was the sight of heartless young people, caught on video, tearing down posters highlighting the plight of kidnapped Israeli children, laughing as they did so, in London’s Leicester Square and across the country. Do
terrorists shot at a car, then fired at close range, making sure the women were dead. CNN's Pleitgen:

@mhdksafa
you know who else died in gaza? the myth of Palestinian leaders wanting human rights and freedom for their people.
the pathetic thing is they'd have more rights under Israeli "occupation" than under their current leadership (and future leadership, if you're any indicator).

@mehdirhasan
palestinians with their genocidal hatreds have made the adjective a pejorative to anyone with a moral compass, which apparently doesn't include a closet muslim supremacist as yourself.
Military experts agree: Israel didn't break international law in Gaza, but Hamas did - and the media failed to report it... and failed to report the report.

so good of you to interview endlessly the humanitarian crisis mongers. if they cared about the people they claim to take care of they would have been warning about hamas for decades. instead, they play hamas' game and blame israel, perpetuating the victimization of the gazans.

Antizionism as an ideology is rooted in rage. It is predicated on one concept: the negation of another people, a concept as alien to modern discourse as white supremacy. It requires a willful denial of even a superficial history of Judaism & the vast history of the Jewish people.

a reminder that Nakba was originally used by arab critics to designate the catastrophe brought down on the heads of the refugees

it's truly sickening the way arab journalists use the western media to push their regressive agendas under the guise of "progressive" values (eg hamas freedom-fighting), and then kvetch indignantly when they get called out.
The truth is that there isn’t an “Israeli-Palestinian” conflict that exists in isolation. There’s an [triumphalist] Arab-Muslim war with Jews that’s about a century old...

don't think that's fair. we jews feel it's deeply unfair to ask us to care about the fate of palestinians who want to exterminate us. palestinians who want to live at peace with us? that's another story entirely.

you care about your people, don't start wars with people much stronger than you.

Why wd Reuters accompany the piece on the 400% spike in antisemitism since 7/10 with just one picture, that of a white supremacist, presumably representative of those attacking Jews, when the majority of the attackers are either Muslims or their progressive supporters?

We may ask why genocidal ideologies so often use anti-Judaism as a tool to overturn the prohibition of killing? The stereotype of the Jew as anti-neighbor is the most deeply rooted image of the dehumanized human figure. Starting mass murders with Jews makes it easier to continue
@LorraineAli
the palestinians have given themselves a bad name.
can you name any major palestinian figure (including their supporters in the west like BDS and SJP) who condemned what hamas did on october 7? because i can name many, allegedly moderates who either cheered or denied it.

it is truly astounding that the west has taken to fetishizing a religion that, by its own progressive standards is pretty unattractive, and that has attacked the west repeatedly and viciously. one might even suspect some masochistic pathology at work. certainly not self-respect.
