Hence the stigma of "pro-Hamas", even if not directly expressed.
None of the anti-Israel contributors offer a solution for removing the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah from the scene. It's a great pity that the Israeli government are such *******s that this clouds the Hamas issue. But Hamas need to be eliminated and they are to blame for all the civilian suffering.

This one was also done in your absence - I certainly don’t accept that criticism of Israel can only be done if every time you preface it with some kind of disclaimer at best framing and at worst justifying their actions in some way.
I don’t have my language policed on any other matter or war, and can judge every action independently on it’s own merits. I don’t see why condemnation of the Israeli state - which it would appear we hold similar regard for - warrants it.
If Israel stayed within the parameters others would find acceptable I’d be more than happy to frame it as such. However I’m not going to imply or infer they didn’t have a choice to do this because they absolutely did. It fails the “what if it was Putin?” test.

The average Palestinian had just as little control over events as Israel did.
