They’ve also dumped money on Israel while it continued to maintain an apartheid regime and carry out war crimes. Maybe if more countries had made Israeli aid contingent on the aid recipients being pro-peace as well, you’d have a point.

And now you’re making an entirely different point and evading addressing the gross generalization you made where you blamed not just Hamas but all Palestinians for the crimes of some and implied they were uniquely bad.

Are you suggesting it is not true that the groups he mentioned intentionally targeted civilians?

Perhaps you’re not old enough to remember the ANC bombing campaign against Wimpy restaurants, mainly timed to go off during lunchtime to maximise damage.

The Church Street bombing it’s reasonable to argue collateral damage for, but a burger chain doesn’t strike me as a legitimate military or government target you can play the “collateral damage” game with.

Maybe it was just ignorance of history that made you single out Palestinians.
