Some more of that whataboutism please. Pretty low strategy to defend terrorist, rapists and murderers.

You always stoop that low to defend evil?

Pointing out common hypocrisy relevant to a topic isn't a whattaboutism, and claiming it is is a pretty transparent attempt to dismiss valid criticism you clearly lack a rebuttal to.

Chances are they heard someone else use the term "whataboutism" and are just mindlessly parroting it without understanding what it actually is.

I havent been a hypocrite, have I? Your defense of terrorists is by your definition though.

I wasn't calling you a hypocrite, they were, I am not them, we are not the same person. I was just pointing out that 'whattaboutism' isn't a harry-potter-esque spell that when shouted properly makes valid criticism disappear.

Both sides of the conflict are terrorists, between IDF and hamas, hamas are the lesser evil
