I do have to believe that, on some level, the leftist -- anti-Israel folks are smelling their own bullshit and just pretending that it isn't there.
It's the most simplistic and asinine thing in the world to measure the ethics of a conflict via a univariate analysis of body counts.
They know this.
The reality is that skinheads are a minority, and they're not treated well by the rest of society (as they shouldn't be), and that they suck at killing people.
Y'all can probably count the number of people murdered by skinheads in the last year on both hands. Still, leftists rightfully join civilized society in their hatred toward skinheads.
Hamas has the same attitude toward Jews as the skinheads do, with the added threat of billions of dollars of international funding, and democratic support from the people of the Gaza.
Hamas is basically a group of skinheads with the means to kill Jews.
Leftists know how uncomfortable they feel having a dude with a swastika tattooed on his face in the same room, even if they aren't Jewish, or otherwise a person of color. Yet, they're waving flags for the same fucking people in the middle east, and condemning the Jews for feeling some semblance of the same discomfort.
