    Therefore the wanton slaughter of 41,000 people is justified! Who knew they had an excuse this whole time?

      You really want to go for sarcasm and whataboutism to defend torture?

      At least in my book, it’s wrong regardless of who’s doing it, but maybe Lemmy disagrees.

        The point is that this post is like highlighting an instance of Jews attacking a Nazi in 1930s Germany. Certainly not great, but also let’s make sure we keep the bigger picture in focus here. And that’s the tens of thousands of dead Palestinians murdered by the IDF.

      Conversely, since the IDF has been torturing Palestinian detainees, does that mean Hamas’ actions are justified?

      Obviously not, but nobody ever accused a fascist of logical consistency.
