You keep meeting the atrocities committed by Hamas when they’re really not relevant in this precise instance.
Millennia-old houses of worship are treasures belonging to our species, not assets on a ledger belonging to any particular party in a conflict. So pointing out Hamas’ misdeeds is as relevant as pointing out the atrocities committed by the US against native Americans. It’s terrible, but it doesn’t provide context useful to the news that the IDF destroyed an ancient cultural treasure.
I see that you repeatedly condemn both sides, and I think that’s admirable. But it still seems misguided because it sounds like you’re trying to keep score when this isn’t a soccer match. Neither side gets a pass because the other did something bad too. This mosque wasn’t on anyone’s team.
