    I like how quick you are to shift the goalposts from “there’s no evidence. None at all” to “oh that evidence you provided? It isn’t conclusive evidence”. Keep cheering for genocide if that’s what you want to do, there’s no need to pretend this is about anything else.

      I like how quick you are to shift the goalposts from “there’s no evidence. None at all” to “oh that evidence you provided?

      Go ahead and explain to me about how a UN memo saying that something “may be” happening is “evidence” of anything?

      Is it happening or is it not happening? If this was something that there was undeniable evidence of, do you think the report would say that it “may be” happening or that it “is” happening?

      That’s not moving the goalposts, that’s just basic reading comprehension–something you clearly lack.

      Keep cheering for genocide if that’s what you want to do, there’s no need to pretend this is about anything else.

      Ah, here it is, the strawman we’ve all been waiting for!

      I’m against any Israeli desire for genocide against the Palestinian people, just like I am against any Palestinian desire to genocide the Israeli people. I have always and will always believe in a peaceful two-state solution in which Israel and Palestine learn to cooperate, respect defined boundaries, enshrine equal rights for minorities, and run their nations in a democratic and secular fashion instead of a theocratic authoritarian one.

      I mean… I get it, dude. It’s cool.

      I don’t have a side in this holy war that has been going on since long before I was born. In fact, both the Israelis and the Palestinians have proven themselves to be barbaric shitheads who are more than happy to violate the norms of war and target innocent civilians in the name of their personal brand of violent genocide.

      Like many other people on this website, you simply don’t like it when people challenge your oh-so-nuanced “Israeli Jew bad, Palestinian Muslim good” viewpoint by asking for even the most basic thread of evidence to back up your provocative story, and so you get frustrated when the best evidence that you have is that some Palestinian witness claims to have seen an IDF soldier in the general vicinity of the thing happening.

      That’s fine, I guess. I’m still going to ask to see the receipts when people make outlandish claims.
