That's nothing. Apparently Israelis have tours and watching parties where they celebrate the bombings and master of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon

Why in the hell would ANY reaction from Palestinians at this point be anything but loathing ppl who've carved Stars of Davids into their FACES and raped them and slaughtered them and destroyed their lives for 80 years? Who in the hell do you think you are expecting ppl long before your precious Oct 7, having experienced countless Oct 7s --only with actual systematic rapes and slaughtering of countless babies-- to give a sh8t about the feelings of the ppl who did it?
You expect pp whose only experience w/ the Jewish ppl for the past 80y to be hell on earth, to give a sh*t what you think? Maybe talk to your own about doing things like THIS. It tends to leave a bad impression of Judaism because it isn't on Palestinians to separate the two on your behalf:

I'm the poster from yesterday who explained in a nuanced (thank you, PP, for acknowledging this!) way why I, as an American Jew, support Israel. It may shock you to learn that I am nauseated by the actions of the violent settlers and also by Ben-Gvir and his minions just as I am by the January 6th thugs and Trump. That doesn't negate my attachment to Israel and its people. Do you demand of the Chinese people on this site that they renounce China due to its treatment of the Uyghurs? How about Russian posters--are they allowed to have warm feelings toward their homeland and their relatives or must they sever ties because of Putin? How about the Syrians here? Hungarians? You see how silly that all sounds?
Anyway, you can keep at each other's throats if you like. I'll be finishing my application for a volunteer program in the Holy Land later this year and enjoying a good Mary Gaitskill novel and some chocolate. Peace to everyone.
DP. Funny, I just wrote something similar. It is funny, isn't it, how other countries receive a completely different reaction when they commit atrocities. The hypocrisy is so blatant it's palpable.
Also, are you admitting that Israel engages in genocide but we just shouldn’t worry about it because all countries do bad stuff???
Nope. I'm asking you a very simple question which you continue to dance around. Why do you obsessively call out Israeli atrocities but ignore China and Syria's atrocities?
WE CALL OUT ISRAEL BECAUSE WE ARE PAYING FOR ISRAEL WITH OUR TAX MONEY.
Israel’s war crimes are being committed with the full backing and support of MY money! Not acceptable.
