IDF receives two bodies from Red Cross; Hamas claims to have returned all dead hostages it could find

19. In an unsurprising move, you resort to mischaracterizing my position. Repeatedly.

You do not believe that holding Hamas responsible will not work because Netanyahu hasn’t brought Hamas to its knees, not because holding Hamas universally accountable for its crimes has ever been tried and was shown to fail.

That is not my position. My position is that "exposing their lies" won't deter Hamas from its actions, because "exposing their lies" will do nothing to hold them accountable. I asked you how to hold them accountable, and you gave a limp non-answer. If Netanyahu's years-long campaign of deliberate civilian slaughter hasn't shamed Hamas into defeat, the "exposing their lies" seems unlikely to do it.

I already answered your second question. Don't presume that you're the only voice on your side of the issue, or that my posts to you are intended only to address your views specifically.

I decline to re-answer your request that I justify condemnation of a terrorist regime. I have done so many times. I'm sorry that you're late to the discussion, but that's not my fault.

Also, I condemn Netanyahu for his years-long campaign of deliberate civilian slaughter because it's a clear act of wanton aggression that has expanded far beyond any bullshit justification that he and his apologists have offered. I condemn him as the beneficiary of hundred of billions of US tax dollars, using much of that to fund his campaign of slaughter. One would hope that a well-funded ally of the US would be held to a higher standard than a terrorist regime, but here we are.


You can reply or not; I've seen your shtick before, so I'm not inclined to take this further with you.
