With all due respect, Simon (and I mean that) this listcycle is precisely the kind of reductive analysis you say you find distressing. There’s no point in addressing any of the checklist items because they’re largely irrelevant. Why even bother giving oxygen to the argument of whether Jesus was a Palestinian or a Jew? It’s not even worth mentioning. Hamas was formed as an offshoot of the Moslem Brotherhood. They’re Sunni and fundamentalist. Another argument not worth having. Ruben uses it as a whataboutism. It’s deflection. What I don’t see on his list is anything that even begins to acknowledge Israel’s role in any of this - only justifications. This isn’t genocide? Okay, well what exactly is it then if we’re going to argue about semantics?
