    Still does not justify genocide or collective punishment. The babies who died under the bombs never raped anyone.

        Removed, Rule 5:

        Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

      Reposting my comment in a way that hopefully doesn’t violate rule 5.

      This type of comment is everything that is wrong with geopolitics. The correct response to hearing about an atrocity is not whataboutism.

      The statement isn’t factually wrong, but it’s an asshole thing to say.
