    We started with a simple question: has Hamas committed war crimes? I answered with one of the most straightforward examples - targeting civilians inside Israel with unguided rockets. Instead of engaging with that, you’ve dodged into historical grievances, vague accusations, and tried to redefine civilians out of existence. That’s not a discussion - it’s deflection.

    Even if you believe Israel was illegitimately founded, that has zero bearing on whether it’s lawful to intentionally attack civilians. Nothing in international law, Marxism, or basic ethics permits that. Squatting on someone’s land doesn’t make it legal to kill their children.

    If your position requires denying the civilian status of an entire population and justifying war crimes as resistance, then you’re not debating in good faith - you’re rationalizing atrocities.

    The more we are aware of the responsibility that falls on the party of the revolutionary class, the more resolutely must we oppose terrorism.

      You are quite literally siding with the nazis in this situation.

      Can you name one example that a hamas rocket killed a child?

      You’d be crying about the warsaw ghetto uprising too, since I’m sure the optics didn’t look too great back then either.

        You’re the one who asked for an example of a war crime, and when I gave one, you shifted the goalposts. Criticizing Hamas doesn’t mean I’m pro-Israel. I can just as easily point to Israeli war crimes like shooting civilians and aid workers. Instead of engaging with the example I gave, you’re dodging the substance and resorting to personal attacks and false binaries.

          You did not provide an example. Name one instance of a hamas rocket killing a child.

            You’re moving the goalposts again.

            This discussion isn’t about killing children - it’s about war crimes, specifically Hamas targeting Israeli civilians with indiscriminate rocket fire. That alone meets the definition under international law, and I’ve already explained why. You haven’t addressed it - you’ve just dodged, reframed, and shifted the subject every time.

            At this point, it’s clear you’re not engaging with what I’m saying. You’re cycling through bad faith tactics - redefining terms, demanding irrelevant proof, personal attacks and pretending I haven’t answered you. If you can’t acknowledge even the most blatant example of a war crime, then you’re not here to discuss - you’re here to deny.
