I believe you can protest whatever, even things that are not real (like the so called genocide, where the population actually grows). There should of course be limits to your protest: violence against people you disagree with should never be an option.

PS: if you can stop the war by returning all the hostages, it's not a genocide.

"absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"

in any case, I doubt there is any proof that I could offer that would be enough to change your mind. you already know what you want to believe, so this is just online pugilism.

They had the misfortune of sharing the building with hamas terrorists. When I say misfortune, I mean AP knew but turned a blind eye.

Papirola··on Career advice nobody gave me: Never ignore a recruiter

What you just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
