Is Europe or the US engaged in slave trade right now? Israel is committing mass murder right now. There is a difference between past evils that can't be helped and present evils that we have the power to stop.

There is indeed a difference and I don’t think we’re disagreeing on that.

You've now engaged in systematic whitewashing of Israel's crimes in this thread. Everybody knows what your objective is and it's certainly not "nuance" as you're trying mislead people with your whataboutism strategy. That's why you utilize moral relativism to downplay Israel's evil at every opportunity, while Israel is still murdering children during a "ceasefire"[0]

We've banned this account for using HN primarily for political battle and ignoring our request to stop doing this.
(No, this is not because of your views; yes it works the same way for accounts with opposite views. It's because this is a failure mode for HN, and therefore an important line to draw.)
I'm not saying that the United States or Europe are evil places. I'm trying to illustrate that the things you've mentioned do not justify the claim that Israel is uniquely evil, either in modern or historical terms.
