      You can’t remain civil with people trying to downplay genocide through deflection, downscale, and redirection.

      If you are trying to articulate why this bothers you, the reader, as it does me then allow me to attempt an articulation:

      Giving this person free reign is not civility but license to exercise the normalization of genocide by painting its dissidents as irrational and uncouth; a license to dehumanize the victims of genocide as lost causes because Hamas has disqualified them from human protections. In other words, they are the white moderate from MLK’s reference. Paraphrasing for the modern times: I want to sympathize with your plight but it is unseemly to do so.

      News mods not making themselves look any better.

      Amazing how only the one saying no look at hamas not the genocide or war crimes is okay.
