This phrase rings like a bell in my circles every time the topic of humanitarian ceasefire comes up, and it effectively stonewalls the conversation. Just a point of frustration that I have no real place to ventilate.

Other bangers include:

  • Israel can’t trust the Palestinians, they’ve never been given a reason to do so.
  • Hamas wants to make Israel not exist.
  • So you equate Israel now to Nazis during WW2? (while talking about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising)
  • Hamas takes drugs and …

      It’s also totally irrelevant even if true. Oh damn some soldiers took stimulants before a battle? That’s a thing that has never happened ever and certainly not in civilized western countries. Modafinil? What’s that?
