That really isn't a fair comparison, since Hamas isn't a single serial killer. It's a terrorist group with a founding charter than literally calls for the murder of all Jewish people. War is always ugly and innocents are always an unfortunate causality of it. I just don't get why Noah supporting the movement that opposes Hamas (who literally want Jewish people dead) makes him deserving of so much vitriol.

The answer to the question is quite simple. You are currently surrounded by a group of people that either believe Israel had it coming on October 7th, Israel doesnt have the right to exist, or the response to October 7th is so disproportionate to what actually happened that day, that if didnt deserve it then, it does now. And therefore any mention of innocents being an unfortunate casualty of war makes you insensitive to the plight of the Palestinians, and ignorant to the whole conflict.

You see, they claim not to be anti semitic, but to be Anti Zionists. Jews are not entitled to a homeland of their own, and the fact that they have one is only because of European Colonial Imperialism, something they are vehemently against. The idea that Jews need a homeland for self defense is entirely foreign to them, and even if they accept that, they believe it is completely reasonable for every Israeli to pack their bags and just come to America because we have synagogues too.

So now that you know what you are dealing with, you understand where the vitriol comes from. But you should take solace from the fact that this is the internet, and youre only talking to people on either side of the aisle that have literally nothing to do but bitch and moan about this. So its not like you should come here expecting civilized discourse. It hasnt been that the entire time, its been the opposite.
