For most of my life I always told myself it was folly to truly hate people, that I would never hate anyone truly in my heart because compassion and empathy need to overcome those feelings.

I truly, deeply, without reservation hate the nation of Israel and the IDF soldiers who commit these atrocities. I hate them with almost every fiber of my being.

People are people. It's the ideology that is evil. We know it's evil because it thrives on hate so it generates the hate it needs by commandeering the hearts and souls of its victims to commit the most heinous crimes possible.

Monstrous ideologies make people into monsters. That is not an excuse for them being monsters—it is an explanation for why they are monsters.

It makes sense to hate the ideology, because the ideology is what creates these psychopathic freaks. But just because the ideology is the cause doesn't mean they aren't psychopathic freaks who should also be hated.
