At some point

 As I went through the weekend, I kept saving the various stories about the Hamas war and planned on doing another post with them.   The increasing number of stories about protesters calling for a new Intifada, coming up with excuses for why the barbarism of Hamas wasn't really that bad, engaging in anti Jewish "protests",  detailing the propaganda campaign of Hamas, and the increasing detail of just how barbaric the 10/7 attack really was, made me realize that for many people they have already made up their minds and more evidence isn't going to persuade them.  

The false equivalence narrative has taken a firm hold on far too many in the US and the west.

The worst part is that there is no legitimate argument for their actions and rhetoric which minimizes the savagery of the islamists, while over-hyping and exaggerating the actions of those who defend themselves against islamist savagery. What do they gain from this blatant lying? How do they profit? Why do they feel the need to defend murderers?

The only "legitimate" argument they need is that it is furthering the goal of the various "palestinian" groups to remove Israel from their "homeland".

They gain sympathy and support from the low information, left wing, sheep who'll follow just about anyone or anything as long as it's trending on social media. They "profit" from donations, UN support, and funding from the uber wealthy Arabs who see a benefit in having an easily manipulated group of people to do their bidding. Because they are brainwashed into thinking that the murders are justified.
