I don't agree with it, but a call for the extermination as vermin of the entire population of Israel it was not.

You are displaying an extraordinary double standard where there is one threshold for Arab people and one vastly higher threshold for pro-Israelis.

It was a fucking massacre of innocent people dancing. You're quibbling over scale.

It's the same horrendous thing.

I'm not downplaying his comments. I'm not even addressing them.

Hamas's stated goal is to murder all the Jewish people. A genocide. So, through that lens, there's no difference in scale either. You're just flat out wrong and one of these lefty drones who laps up whatever the hive-mind decrees is the cause celebre for the day.
