I'm sorry for bringing the guy to mind lmao
I get my news from French media, so it's... not so surprising. Criticizing Israel's actions is unremarkable here; always has been, as far as I remember.
ah, i see. my experience of the ubiquity of condemning hamas as a talking point is mostly english and spanish sources. well done france.
You might be reading a bit more into my words than are actually there. I feel there's a big difference between Israelis (if you prefer) and their government(s) (which happen to have been horrible for more than 20 years.) Just like there's a huge difference between Hamas and the Gazans.
there is, but i think it's still the case that this curious assymetry is present: people easily condemn hamas as such, and rightly so, but only some of the actions of the israeli government... which is even more jarring considering the differences in the magnitude of the human rights violations commited by each actor.
