Why are we mad at Obama again? He mind controlling Trump and Bibi?
For humanizing the aggressors while dehumanizing the victims in a public statement about genocide
By limiting the subject of loss & suffering to the families of Israeli hostages and including every Gazan, respectively? The other Israelis didn't really suffer like they did.
Seems a malicious misreading on your part: you guys need to work on your filters instead of choosing a less coherent, most antagonistic interpretation.
Thing is any choice would have triggered, the reaction was a given no matter the text
As written "what, Palestinians aren't families?"
Swap it around "by singling out gazan families, are you trying to exclude and and by inference saying those without a family deserve it?
Use the same term for both? Are you trying to say the suffering for Gaza is the same as Israel?
