I said this in post 147 in response to you.
"What happened to the Jewish people in WW2 is beyond any bad thing I can say. There are no words that I can utter that can adequately describe the horror and inhumanity that befell the Jewish people at that time. None. All of any that I can think of pales to what actually happened."
Looking at that statement what about it makes you think I would support what Hamas did on Oct 7th?
Looking at that statement what about it makes you think I am justifying the the hate and murder of Jews in the area?
Looking at that statement what about it makes you think that I would think that it's understandable that some Palestinian children's greatest hope is to kill Jews?
What have I said that make you think I would support any of these things?
Please, show me what I have said so that I am constantly having to defend myself from all these things that I have never said I support or even inferred of which you are of course not painting me with a broad brush?
You dont see the irony there even now do you?
