Oct 7 was also “some ethnic cleansing”. Hamas didn’t even pretend otherwise.

Sure. But what’s your point? Are you saying that makes it more okay for Israel to do it to Palestinians? Otherwise, it just seems like ‘whataboutism’.

Point is: hypocrisy does not help conflict resolution.

The global Left refusing to call that genocide (even inventing conspiracies about IDF killing its own people on the day) helped escalate it. It made even moderate Israelis cheer on the retribution which ended up wildly disproportionate and counterproductive.

You seem stuck on seeing any criticism of the Palestinian side as unbridled support for Likud’s agenda.
