Actually, Dan, I am on record repeatedly criticizing Hamas war crimes. My opponents and adversaries almost never ever criticize Israeli war crimes, let alone genocide, so I don’t need to take any lessons on mirror images or hypocrisy from anyone on the pro-Israel side.

You can debate the arguments in this piece. There are legitimate criticisms of Israel's conduct in Gaza. You can disagree with whoever you want. But can you possibly recognize yourself in the mirror image of your last sentence, as someone who "conveniently blames all the problems of Gaza only on Israel while giving Hamas, the terrorist organization the represses its own people, a complete pass"?
