Thanks for the information. I really didn't know about that attack and was on my way out at the time so I was more reacting to generalities and what was right in front of me.

I don't mean to suggest that anything and everything should be socially acceptable as freeze peach, just that I feel some people are being disingenuous and should be expected to point out an actual problem like "Look here, the rewards you get vary based on the racial and religious background of every civilian you kill!" Killing civilians who happen to be present regardless of other matters is murder. Killing opposing military personnel regardless of other matters is battle. Killing people because they're Jewish is murderous antisemitism. Not wanting something seen doesn't make it a crime... but I think some people are so stuck picking sides that even mention that there's another point of view offends them 🤷

That said, could be Hamas is pure evil for all I know and there's just no way to present anything they do without it being disgusting. I just... bleh, maybe it's an autism thing. There's a nit there that I can't help but pick 😅 I want more sincerity and sense in this world.

To be fair I think the hostages/dead civilians are more because they're Israeli than their religion. There's definitely anti-Semitism in Hamas, but Hamas was founded to resist brutal occupation tactics.
