How so? The Patriot Act was arguably the kick-off of the state of constant mass surveillance that is ubiquitous today.

Arguably? I think its confirmed. The re-approval of the act under multiple administrations is horrifying.

The problem with the Patriot Act was mass surveillance of people who didn't need to be surveilled. In this situation we are talking about a group of people with support for genocide in the double digit percentages.

I guarantee that if my grandparents were expelled from their homes, brutalised, or killed, their homes bulldozed and annexed by the occupiers, and for the past 2 years I was the target of the most brutal genocide since Rwanda, I would probably wish worse than death to my oppressors too. But let's not get sidetracked...

PS: It's also known that for Israel and its AI killing machines, "terrorist" is defined as "male between 14 and 45". Cannot get more "mass targeted" than that.

Oh let's get sidetracked. Does the Jewish world population think a genocide of Germans is a good idea? No. Because they are not monsters.

The "genocide" (which itself is false, but let's leave that aside) is not the biggest since Rwanda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides even if we take the numbers of Hamas. That's just false, no matter how you count it. In percent of the ethnic group, in absolute numbers, name your criteria, you're still wrong.

Hamas is losing a war they started. They optimized for civilian casualties and are getting what they wanted. They could have housed 100% of the population of Gaza in their tunnels, but they instead built many many small hospitals over them.

It's really quite simple. Hamas are even worse than the Nazis, and the biggest crime Israel is guilty of is winning. A crime for which they will never be forgiven.
