Ignoring your comment since you're misrepresenting my argument. No need to address anything you said, this is simply an attempt to reframe my concern that criticism of Hamas is met with whataboutism.
Just look at the soap box this user takes advantage of when I say no one should use human shields. "Yea Hamas does it, but Israel???"
Tell me what criticism of Hamas accomplishes then. They went and killed a thousand innocent Israelis, they hide among civilians, resulting in said civilians deaths. What now? Do I get a gold star for pointing out the terrorists? Do the dead get to cheer that their death meant another Hamas militant died (or didn't in the case of this article)?Are the living supposed to feel grateful to Israel that their family and friends are dead, needless to say hateful towards Hamas for hiding amongst them? What is the goal here? What are me, and the dozens of other people here, missing that only you seem to see?
An argument expressing the futility of criticizing Hamas while attempting to redirect criticism towards Israel... Now that's funny.
Edit: lol like I need to entertain these whataboutisms... Demanding answers...
Where is your answer?
