Rights expert finds ‘reasonable grounds’ genocide is being committed in Gaza
Blatant whataboutism :)
Edit: How easy would it be for them to say that both might be true? Very. But if they said that Hamas would lose credibility, and bring into question the whole "freedom fighter" schtick. Can't address it, must focus on allegations of genocide and accusing others of defending genocide if anyone brings up something critical of Hamas (please peruse their comment history), thereby derailing any discussion on the matter.
See? It's that easy.
Show the evidence then for those tents being Hamas
In fitting behavior, I could ask for evidence those Hamas military figures were elsewhere. However, I'm confident subsequent reviews of this event and others like it will uncover the truth, and perhaps we'll get another extensive report on the matter (did you read my link?).
I think we both know that lies travel faster than evidence, don't we?
Don't really care about the reply, I got what I wanted.
What figures
Sorry I thought you read your article:
Won't be continuing this conversation, especially if this is the level of discussion I should expect.
What discussion I thought we were posting random stuff that came to mind
Weird
Edit: appreciating the admission they weren't even trying to have a discussion.
Deja vu
Nice I got the CIA Award for Journalism

I think this is an unjust indictment of the mods, and unproductive.
Yea I was addressing content directly discussed in the article. I was replied to with things unrelated to Hamas' military use of civilian infrastructure, in an effort to derail conversation on the matter.
Also you don't know what whataboutism is, clearly.
You wouldn't mind explaining what it is then? I'm all ears.

I bring up information relevant to the article. I'm responded to with a counter accusation instead of a rebuttal of the provided evidence. I won't be replying to you anymore, this is a waste of my time.
