      The Palestinians are giving out candy again tonight and partying in the streets as two Israelis are dead and eight are wounded. The next time you say "Free Palestine", or sign a letter with BDS, or cancel a gig in Israel, I hope you know that you're on the side of evil.

      When I was in Israel I saw Hebrew signs celebrating Yigal Amir, the assassin of Rabin. Should I make generalizations about Israeli Jews based on that?

      You could acknowledge it's wrong to dehumanize a people living under an unending occupation by generalizing about a practise done by a few to make a judgement about an entire group. But what do I know.

          So you'd be okay if she had written "Some, but not all, Palestinians are celebrating the terrorist attacks"? Is that accurate?

          Who knows? That's making an assumption that people giving out treats on a holiday where people give out treats could also be them celebrating death. It's near impossible to determine & in the end doesn't matter in the slightest.

          No. Jeet acted like celebrating terrorism isn't a thing so he could mock someone, then immediately shifted his goalposts. You can just condemn a bad thing. You don't have to whatabout or minimize, or rationalize and "explain" it. Just condemn the bad thing.
