No essentially it is as simple as how any abuser bully behaves. They will continue their behavior as long as they are allowed to. Look at US for enabling them.

Doesn't really matter what you choose to call it, they will make sure there's no Hamas to do it again.

  Hamas should not exist that is not the point. It is the civilians. They will also not exist if it goes on like this.

        You've been posting repeatedly to this thread in a way that has been crossing into flamewar and breaking the intended spirit that I tried to express in my pinned comment at the top. Could you please stop doing this? It leads to hellish flamewar, and we don't want that here. I am certain that you have very legitimate reasons for feeling strongly. Whatever your reasons may be, I respect them. At the same time, posting in a thread like this has to do with how one manages one's feelings: do they express themselves in (let's call it) a weaponized way? if so, that's against the intended spirit here. Or can you post in a way that is somehow larger than that? No one can be asked to do the latter, but I do think we can ask commenters to refrain from posting if they can't get there.

        Dang, I think it would be better if you just didn't take sides on this and stopped policing vigorously. Both comments here are nowhere flame war territory.

        The moderation issue here is not those two comments but the repeated pattern in each case. Past experience has unfortunately made it clear that moderation needs to be relatively active on topics that are as divisive as this one. I wish it weren't so.

        Hi Dang can you please specify what I did wrong here? Is it the back and forward?

        That, plus using inflammatory rhetoric rather than trying to relate to or connect with the other person. You're far from the only person who has been posting that way, but it's what we're trying to avoid here.

There is no way there would be 25k deaths in Gaza this year had the astrocities of Oct 7th not happened. The Israel-Hamas War is entirely a response to this event.
