Discussion for the Israel-Hamas War: A thread in the Pit

Here’s what you had to say the last time rape allegations got brought up.

It’s a little hard to believe you’re “condemning” something you’re so blase about. Rapes happen all the time in war, big whoop, Israel is worse anyway says the Hamas apologist. The only thing that’s changed is that now you can’t pretend Israel is making it all up when even your oh-so-authoritative UN officials are acknowledging it.

Of course but Hamas. A thousand times but Hamas. Trying to pretend that the genocidal Islamist fanatics who launched a pogrom are somehow incidental to the war and don’t have anything to do with the war Israel is fighting (when you’re not pretending that they’re innocent victims of unjustified Israeli aggression) doesn’t sound like condemnation to me.
