    Hmmm, just checked your comments history and the high moral person here who feel strongly for despicable acts, doesn’t feel the same about the thousands of Plastenian kids who died or lost their families in the blind bombarding by IDF on Gaza even though its fundamentally worse. Nethier feel anything about the settlers attacking, and humiliatig plastenian in west bank while being portected by the IDF…

      Wut? Did they specifically comment they don’t care about Palestinians or are you doing some sort of guilt by absence thing?

      Did they comment on the merits of a rotary engine, or asynchronous API calls? What about top rack beehives? Low drop shoes? What about immersion style language learning or the role of cement in restoration masonry?

        You can’t point out hypocrisy without “whataboutism”. You could say it was an ad hominem, but not whataboutism, when the point is to show someone is a hypocrite.

        Calling everything “whataboutism” to deflect from your own crimes is really obnoxious btw. Israel is guilty not only of killing children but journalists and UN workers
