    I see ads in TV that are pro Isreal now with Santa crying because of Hamas kidnapped people. I know it’s what about ism but not really moral high ground here when IDF literally wipes whole familes.

      Its not what-about-ism.

      Being accused of attacking civilians and saying the enemy is attacking civilians to divert attention is what-about-ism.

      Crying that the enemy is attacking civilians while you are also attacking civilians is hypocrisy.

      Calling out your own/allied government for attacking civilians and trying to hold them accountable even if the enemy attacks civilians as well is being a good person.
