That's exactly the argument I had with my WASP neighbor who came to my house last night for some Desi food, as he does every few months. He is generally anti-Israel but he is too pro-Democratic Party to accept any criticism of Biden. He asserted that the offer made by Israel in year 2000 to Palestinians/Arafat was a 'good start'! He also said Biden has been trying hard to stop for killing Palestinians otherwise Israel would kill all the 2+ million Palestinians. I said you are supporting those policies because they were under Democratic Presidents!

I just couldn't take his BS and told him that 'You are too pro Democratic Party to ever criticize their policies'. He thought that was an 'insult'. I said, 'no, that's what I have ALWAYS seen you to do'. Then he started losing it and said even the Ukraine war is not Biden's fault and that Trump is basically a Russian agent, beholden to Putin. I said it was YOUR Obama in 2014 who laid the seeds for the Ukraine war! I said the Democratic Party is even more of a war-mongering party then the Republicans are in the last several decades.

We got into a heated argument and he stopped eating! I said let's drop the subject because we are too far apart on the US foreign policies. He is a Party-line person!! He eventually ate but the evening was not pleasant after the argument. I still respect him a lot except I can't ignore his blind support for the Democratic administrations.

I had even told him that I see no difference between Biden and Trump when it comes to Israel-Palestine conflict except Trump is not a hypocrite like Biden is! Something which you too have said here.

At least you can speak your mind.

Over here in the middle of the buckle of the Bible Belt, I have enough sense to mostly keep my mouth shut.

Otherwise, I will end up jobless and homeless.

And for the Hamas report, we all know what they did and what they do there is nothing to hide, but this is a piece of dust compared to Israeli war crimes and its population at 98% approval for continued genocide,

As you say, many here would want to justify what Hamas did on the grounds that it is a "piece of dust" compared to what Israel has done, but then again, that means that many others could justify Israel's actions on the same grounds, logically speaking, depending on their personal biases and preferences. After all, if 98% of Israelis support the actions taken by their side, support for Hamas over what it has done from the Palestinians would probably be similarly high.

Similarly, arguing about who did what first and who retaliated can extend a long, long way back into history, which, as I have said before, is not the topic of this thread.
