Decades of conflict and struggle in the Middle East are being downplayed by the media's eagerness to seek condemnation of Hamas by political leaders.

    We must condemn the violence of hummus, otherwise we are not allowed to criticize the apartheid state…

    Good for this guy calling out the hypocrisy.

    One should be free to speak their mind on Israel without being implicitly accused of being an anti-semite or terrorist sympathizer.

    When I criticize the USA, nobody asks me to condemn the violence of 9/11.

    It’s such a strange thing.

      You’re right, though a big part of it is time. You don’t get asked to condemn the attacks of 9/11 now. You may have if you were critical of the US in September/October of 2001.

    Hamas massacred 1300 people. If you don’t condemn that, what do you condemn?

      Americans have completely ruined the word “terrorist”.

      By law, in America, peaceful protesters are terrorists.

      I dont endorse Hamas. I condemn Israel.

    Don’t be intellectually lazy. Don’t be emotionally lazy. Don’t just see part of this terrible reality. (English with German subtitles)
