I see no real difference between Roger Slater and Walter here. Both seem focused on only defending one side: only hating another.
I keep seeing stories of anti-semitism in the country I live in: so no, I'm not going to pretend like it is all one way violence, no matter how it seems to me like Israel is bent on committing genocide.

I believe this; and yet, when Walter attempts to deflate accusations against "Hamas" by saying only 700 were killed, then my reaction is: "Oh, well, that's alright then!" Why must we insist on the complete humanity of all involved on one side and the inhumanity of the other? Does picking sides really mean that we cannot mourn 700 Jewish deaths beside the genocide of Palestinians: even if it is "only" 700 and not over a thousand (and what does that matter actually? does that make "Hamas" more moral assassins?)
