I think the difference in your comment is that China is doing this to their own citizens. Israel is oppressing their enemy, who have voted for Hamas to be the leader of their government, which stated intent is to destroy Israel... Big difference.


    > voted for Hamas
I needed to remind myself of how many times they did that (once). It is incredible that Palestine hasn't had an election since 2006. Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Palestinian_legislative_e...


Yup, and as soon as Hamas were elected, the liberal world refused to deal with them. Never mind how convenient Hamas have been for Likud over the past few decades.

It looks incredibly hypocritical to much of the world, and I can see why.


How many people alive in Gaza today voted for Hamas?

What an incredibly awful comment to make after so many kids have gotten blown to bits by Israel as some sort of justification.

Same sorts of stuff were said about Irish people during the Troubles btw.
