That was two days ago that you predicted that someone would come along to dismiss or excuse the allegations of horrific sexual violence made against Hamas. Nobody dismissed the claims. Nobody excused the violence. **You are fundamentally wrong about the perspective of those who oppose IDF’s actions in this war**. I hope you can reflect on this incident, and how you don’t understand the objections to your positions. I hope you use the occasion to listen better to what folks are telling you. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/discussion-for-the-israel-hamas-war-a-thread-in-the-pit/992653)._
