I have been banned from unpopularopinion for exposing person defending genocide and use of human shields by IDF.

One of the users in unpopularopinion thread was complaining about someone calling him a “fascist”

In response I did paste a screenshot of his comment claiming IDF are not using human shields, it is Hamas who do that:

… And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.

    That thread was literally the first time I’d ever heard of them doing it. My comment there however was intended to question the legitimacy of using that term in that specific context - where they were reportedly sending civilians to clear buildings before entering themselves - not as some broad denial that it’s ever happened. I didn’t argue against anyone who gave me actual examples of them doing it.

    And even if I were skeptical about the IDF using human shields, it would still be a logical error to jump to the conclusion that I’m denying a genocide. I’ve seen the photos of Gaza nearly flattened by Israel’s bombing - those are pretty hard to argue against.

    I can’t point to anyone specific who outright refuses to acknowledge Hamas doing the same, but I’ve interacted with plenty of people who straight-up refuse to admit it and instead derail the entire conversation by accusing me of holding views I don’t actually hold.

      The fact that you spent so much time and energy to defend your specific version of reality without thinking to at the very least use the search function of your favorite browser to confirm for yourself whether what you believe is true or not goes to show that you aren’t interested in the cause.

      You’d rather maintain the information insulation around your head cannon and worthlessly debate than spread truth.

      All the negativity you’ve received in these threads is deserved, and I hope you someday realize what habits you’ve devolved to exhibiting.

      This goes for anyone shielding their ego over what’s actually happening in the world today.
