Oh but, what about, what about, I’ll raise you women and children bombed, babies under rubble, cutting off water, food, fuel, power,
Equivalence?
In WWII, the allies did some bad things. Was Dresden necessary? Was Hiroshima and Nagasaki necessary? ( US fire bombing actually killed more people in Japan). The allies did bad things. But were they evil?
War is nasty and horrible, don’t expect reasonable outcomes or actions.
But consider evil……….
The Nazi death camps were evil. Anyone that has watched the footage when the allies first entered those camps will have seen hell on Earth. When the allies made the local German residents walk around the death camps their reactions said it all.
Israel have done and are now doing things that are nasty and arguably vindictive, but are they Evil?
Beheading children, burning them alive, executing them in front of their families, that is evil.
Let’s say Hamas, was big enough and powerful enough to totally invade and take over Israel. Based on what just happened, We would witness another holocaust, they would kill in cold blood every Jew. Men, women and children. Just like the Nazis.
Could you say the same of Israel to Palestinians? Israel are already the big and powerful for over 70 years and still no genocide.
So I find no equivalence between what Hamas have done and what Israel have done. Both have done very bad things. But I find only one to be evil.
