    Sure, people died on Oct 7th, which is the subject of that anniversary/mourning day, but it’s used by the Israeli government as justification for an ongoing genocide that killed and continues to kill way more Palestinians.

      The rank and file of a terrible organization are victims of that organization in their own right. You are right to be critical of said organization in exploiting these victims for their own gain. Let’s also remember the individual human on any side of a conflict, most of whom are wonderful people being lead to do horrible things. Tribalism is how the powerful continue to convince good people to commit horrible acts.

        How many horrible acts does it take for a wonderful person to no longer be a wonderful person? Is it a point system? Is the curve linear or logarithmic?

        You think we don’t understand that babies are born innocent? You think we believe these people commiting atrocities are all evil grade school bullies without any humanity?
