War is dreadful. No if and or buts. 18 posts here repeating "Isreal got what they deserved!" is as wrong as Trump's comments.

Let's make a personal hypothetical that highlights the cruel comments. Imagine a stupid medical mistake that leads to the slow agonizing death of Steve Shaw. In response a fanatic posts 18 times in a row that "Steve got what he deserved". That Trumpian person keeps up the defamation posts about Steve for years. What would you think of that kind of behavior? When does that strident opinion turn into propaganda and become hate speech and who decides?

Now we may wish Steve well but if he does not see what he does, he needs to be shown where his repetition leads. No judgment here particularly because the average person is immersed in war by language, paradigm, and early education.

Let's not start making personal comparisons and attacks. The strikethrough is to get your attention. ---mudelf
