should not be seen as the lesser of two evils. The comparing or “What aboutism “ of other countries is a ridiculous argument. We shouldn’t condemn bad actions because others are just as bad or worse??
How about Israelis marching and shouting “Death to Arabs” ??

Or the story today where Palestinians have to demolish their own homes on their on dime to make way for a biblical amusement park??

Hamas is evil but the poor people being displaced did not ask for this. Just like I didn’t ask for Trump to blow up Venezuelan boats, or for him to bomb a school in Iran. Bill Maher can not see clearly because he is so indoctrinated in his support for Israel. I do not like the antisemitism that has been happening around the world. It is ugly and misplaced. Netanyahu and his govt is to blame for the atrocities being committed today, just like Trump and his admin are responsible for the nonsense going on right now. This never ending violence will continue to breed more hate and violence. This is a fact.
