> Being supportive of Ukraine on social media will not raise any eyebrows.

There is no bias and shades of gray when you talk about who attacked whom in Ukrainian war...

> It used to be that being critical of Trump attracted no lashback.

Ah yes, except that literally the CEO got fired totally no pushback,

>>in this case on one side there is a jihadist organization

> There's that Islamophobic trope again.

You can personally attack me all you want but at least read what jihad is first. Islam != jihad.

> This is not a war on Hamas. Hamas is nearly irrelevant. It is a racist war on Arab civilians, with Hamas used as the excuse to commit genocide.

This can't even begin to compute.

You aware that Israel has a lot of Arab Muslim civilians who live in peace, work and own businesses, enjoy social security and all? I guess Israel is really bad at killing Arab civilians because they are right there under their nose

You know how many food trucks were authorized by Israel to enter Gaza (a lot of them were diverted by Hamas but still) to feed civilians, the same civilians you are saying Israel wants to kill? If you don't know here enjoy: https://app.un2720.org/tracking/arrived

There are facts of human rights violations by IDF and then there is parroting propaganda about ethnical cleanse. Why are you excusing the crimes of one side and call rapists and murderers "irrelevant"? why do you say other side commit genocide if they cause civilian casualties fighting terrorist militia that hides in comfy tunnels it built for own protection under hospitals and residentail buildings?

IDF are no goodies but if you want to make call out IDF for doing bad stuff during war you really hurt your ability to do it in the eyes of other people by being so biased for the other side that you make up fantasy. If BBC told its journos off for doing exactly this sort of stuff then they are totally justified...

> This has nothing to do with white guilt.

There's a lot of white colonialist guilt around this issue.

> If somebody didnt mention race but denied the Holocaust what would they be?

They would be what commonly known a Holocaust denier. A racist can deny Holocaust happened but Holocaust denial is not racist outside of context.

Anyway I think IDF and Netanyahu did a lot of things they should be investigated for. But if I wanted to convince people about this I would not put what's happening next to Holocaust. Why? Because then somebody who knows a few facts will not believe my other statements.
