Coming from _Mr_ “It’s War!”, I’ll just point out your beam, motherfucker.

Being dismissive of _your_ pathetic attempts to use rape for points is not the same as being blase about the _actual_ rapes. Hamas and the non-Hamas Gazans who committed sexual violence in October, and since, are evil scum.

Unlike you, I don’t use the existence of evil scum to excuse greater evil. Because I’m not a bootlicker to the first fascist that comes knocking.

Yep. By a 30-to-one ratio, last I checked.

🤨

You literally _just_ quoted me saying that. What a fucking idiot.

This has a certain … cadence. Very Biblical … or Quranic.

They don’t have anything to do with the genocide Israel is now committing (other than a convenient excuse)

Where have I ever done that? Cite or shut the fuck up, Nazi-lover.

ETA:  
Oh, and since you’re suddenly now _sooo_ enamoured of what the UN has to say, and since _tu quoque_ is your favourite fallacy, what do you have to say about _this_ UN sexual violence report?
