What about Hamas?

These arguments are Masterclass in framing, and framing used to engaged the moral sentiments of their audiences.

Because the framing about Israel has always implied a counter to the Holocaust, and that framing has been used to obliterate that the argument anlso applies to Palestinians.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @raph your argument is too complex for me. Hamas had two elements. 1) the social infrastructure to make life bearable for the Palestinians of Gaza; 2) a military wing opposed to oppression by Israel. More than that requires detailed knowledge of what was going on before 7 October.
Hamas won its democratic elections in Gaza because they were not Fatah, which is the organization that rules/d the West Bank. All Huckerby sees is the word Israel in the Bible. Dubious link.

No, my comment was strictly about framing. The correct framing is the one that correctly identifies the ethical issue at hand, so aptly identified in the video.

The single, most important aspect of any public affairs is going to be deciding what moral question is the relevant one. she’s made amazing argument to restate what is relevant.
