They are speaking about Palestinians who are civilians. The educated world agrees. Israel is going after civilians in the West Bank . The Bulwark is speaking the truth.

You don't sound elitist at all :) How do you define "the educated world"? Israel ranks 11th in Nobel prizes per capita, and they certainly don't agree that they are murdering civilians.

How are you defending Israel? We all can see GazaтАЩs kids suffering from hunger. IтАЩm Jewish and and abhorred by this stuff. I know that Israel is smart which makes this worse. I meant that these countries are holding them responsible.

No argument that life in Gaza is horrific, but I disagree about who is to blame. Hamas created this situation and refuses to surrender. I am not sure why being Jewish is relevant, except that Jews seem to be more willing to take the time to understand the Israeli mindset and experience, which is very different from Americans'.

I'm an American and a Jew and a Palestinian. Israel is purposely not allowing food in. That's what we are talking about.

You have no response because itтАЩs terrible and inhumane. This is why some of the world is calling it out. Whatever your politics, feed people. Kids dying of hunger is an abomination and heartless.

You fine to commit genocide if you are smart ... and Israeli.

It's called the "Bad Hasbara Theme Song" argument.
