I'm not sure how many times I can say it. The point is the singling out of one, and staying silent about the other. It's about the hypocrisy. I'm not sure why this is so difficult, friend.

It's not that you're not saying it often enough, it's that you're stopping halfway through what's being proposed here.

You're seeing it as a one-sided, negative thing for the Palestinian side that the atrocities of Hamas are being "singled out" - but you're completely ignoring the fact that they're being "singled out" in order to be hidden from children.

This means that children would never learn - at least not on their own, via social media - of these atrocities committed by Hamas. That would appear like a net positive for the Palestinian side.

You're getting caught up in the "singling out" part while ignoring the "in order to hide it from children" part.

That's where your confusion is. This isn't to hide what's happening to make Hamas look good. This is about removing violent content. What the parent commenter and I are saying is that there's no mention of the violence the IDF are perpetrating, as if it isn't happening.

I've now reached a point where I've said it as plainly as possible. If you're still not able to comprehend what's being said after this, I don't know what else to tell you.
