As I said willful ignorance. Everything anyone has posted in all these threads is “Hamas propaganda” “Anti-semitism” or – in the case where it’s Jewish people or Israeli Jews – “Self-hating Jews.” Only Babale’s version of truth is valid, only Babale’s sources are valid. I may mistaken, but I don’t seem to see a lot of support for his posturing even from @Alessan who is actually in Israel, not thousands of miles away in the peanut gallery, cheering genocide.
There are posters here, e.g. @iiandyiiii, who at the onset of this tragedy started a thread defending the existence of Israel. Posters were appalled at the initial Hamas attack Over time, more and more posters have come to the realization that there is no proportion in what the leaders and military of Israel is in fact doing in Gaza (and let’s not forget the West Bank) in response to that attack. The distinction between ethnic cleansing and genocide is moot by this point.
I saw a clip from the Guardian a while ago. A reporter was walking around in Jerusalem asking people about the Green Line. The responses was akin to Babale: “Don’t know what you’re talking about.” “There’s no such thing.”
When a poster alone is continuing this kind of quixotic ignorance, and actively denying what all independent sources say (Because they parrot Hamas propaganda) and the overwhelming majority of posters in this thread say that enough is enough, there’s a certainty that this poster will never ever back down, say “You know what” and admit that maybe they weren’t in the right. Again, willful ignorance or actual hatred of muslims disguising as wilfull ignorance.
It’s despicable.
