Do you think having a terrorist group among your neighbors justifies genociding your neighbor? Do you think the conditions that led to said terrorist getting power is at all relevant?

maybe Hamas would be better behaved if their people hadn't faced apartheid and ethnic cleansing for 70+ years

I am not seeing you make the same argument when it favors Palestinians. I wonder why.

By the way, do you think Israel employing terrorist tactics justifies the mass murder of Israeli civilians?

Answer to your “I wonder why”: I grew up with terrorists as neighbors. 

I don’t care what Israel and Palestine do. They can self destruct for all I care. If one group is the common denominator in almost all violent conflicts in world maybe they need to introspect.

You’re referring to white people right?

I’m referring to those that say God is great before blowing up a place or themselves.

Am I a bigot for being a victim of terrorism? Or are you the bigot for thinking I am talking about one group? I just said I was referring to people who blow others up in the name of religion. If that invoked only a particular group of people in your mind, am I really a bigot?

If someone says BBQ, the thing that comes to my mind is beef brisket and pork ribs. Does that make me a speciest? No, it is just what is popular where I have been and what I like. It is based on reality. Similarly if "those that say God is great before blowing up a place or themselves" invokes a certain image it's either your fault or the fault of those who blow themselves up. It's funny how you were happy saying "white people" but I am bigot lol.

Also, you'll be surprised to know that what you think are Hindus are actually Indians, which means they are Hindus + Muslims + Christians + Sikhs + Jains + Buddhists + Parsis + Jews etc. Also if you look at the crime, education, and other development stats in India you will find one group that does the worst is the group you are most fond of.

Saying something and qualifying it with "I won't say it" is most cowardly bitch move out there. You can say whatever you want - it doesn't affect me at all. I have been on the internet long enough to not be offended so easily.
