Israel (now broader Mid East discussion) (9 Viewers)

If it stops people from killing each other, yes.

So would you be fine with this being done to Israelis, just to play devil's advocate?

No, just showing the types of people that support Hamas. We, the west, are so stupid we let them in. Fortunately, Europe is starting to deport/repatriate them.

What do you think that Hamas does that Israel does not do? I think if one cares about the act, it doesn't matter who does it - they'll critique them.

Unfortunately it seems when the same or worse acts are committed by Israel, we find the mental gymanstics to excuse it. Wouldn't a more truthful approach be
to call out evil wherever it lies?

And I'm sure you're cognizant of the fact that much of our government is influenced by Israeli foreigners, right?

Would you be upset if it were Hamas funding politicians like AIPAC and other lobbying groups do to make certain decisions and Israeli government is unapologetically blasting propaganda at Americans?

Of course you would - and you should. So why not Israel? That's the question.
