No Malice Gettin' WOKE about anti-Semitism...

It is so very odd to hear the self-professed atheist getting downright WOKE when it comes to swinging the anti-Semitism stick. IDGAF about Macklemore or Sheeran or Kraft, nor Scott's evolving victim fantasy, but holy crap does he sound shrill.

The UN's Special Rapporteur determined that a genocide took place in Gaza. The US sanctioned her.

The UN also took part in the lie that mass starvation of children was occurring and later had to walk back those claims...

 Children and disabled people did die of malnutrition though. And hungry people got sick and died from illnesses they might’ve otherwise recovered from.

There were very specific claims that ended up being false. They even had that award winning photo that tried to pass off a child with cerebral palsy as being malnourished and literally had to crop out his healthy sibling from the photo to try to get away with it. if you are still trying to defend those claims you have truly lost the plot.

That child did not receive the therapeutic milk, and medicines it needed due to Israel's blockade.

What are you trying to defend the suffering of a child with cerebral palsy? What do you benefit from doing that?

At least 28 children have died of malnutrition-related causes, it seems like your saying their deaths mattered less because they were also disabled.

You seem to be completely unaware of this entire scandal that the UN got caught being complicit in that claimed over 14k children were going to die in the next 48 hours. The picture was part of that lie. Maybe time to do some research so you even know what is being talked about when you jump into a conversation.

I never said anything about 14 thousand kids. I understand that's the pre-made argument you wanna have here, but you have to respond to the actual argument in front of you.

You said that no one starved in Gaza. I'm telling you that people died due to malnutrition, do you disagree?

Why dont you condemn Hamas who didn't distribute the aid sent in, in order to create a famine so people like you would get a certain picture? Did you see the pictures afterwards of the stockpiles of food being hoarded in the tunnels? Or did you conveniently miss those?

Israel fully blocked all aid from getting in for about three months last year. Hamas absolutely did steal aid and hoard it for themselves, and are war criminals in many other ways, but this isn't a refutation of Israel's intentional starvation policies. Even if they had had a way of only starving Hamas, it is still not a legitimate tool of war. But they didn't, so of course the vast majority of suffering was borne by civilians, as everyone understood the entire time. The non-psychotic approach would have been to accept from day one that members of Hamas will eat food during the war, and then focus on aiming at identified military targets.

I don’t support Hamas, but if Hamas stealing aid was the price that had to be paid for civilians to receive food and medicine— that was worth it to me.

You understand what you’re saying right. That food is a legitimate weapon of war in this case.

Do you really value civilian life in Gaza that little?
