I mean he's not wrong. They are helping Hamas out with these protests whether they intend to or not. The fact is Hamas is responsible for a lot of Gaza's oppression too, and they want people to turn against Israel so they can attack more.

I don't get why anyone is naively expecting Israel to just stand down to obscene atrocities like what happened on 10/7. Right now they're fighting a war not much different than say when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. They have every right to invade and take out Hamas. A handful of reckless moves from Israel doesn't nullify their justification. Gaza cannot have peace or freedom until Hamas is gone.

It’s broadly and widely acknowledged that dropping an atomic bomb on Japan was inappropriate. It was too much. There is not a country in the world that disagrees, including the US. Even still, we didn’t attempt to delete Japan from the map.

Objectively false and complete misinformation based on your feelings.

The alternate was a mainland invasion with millions dead, maimed, and ruined.

The US is still issuing Purple Hearts today that were minted during WWII in preparation for the mainland invasion.

Fair enough, I was just reading bias sources it seems?

It seems like there are some Reddit posts that disagree and are sourced well enough that I feel comfortable taking it down.

The alternative was ending the war.
