Oh, come the fuck on. You know what you were doing; there's no other, honest reason to describe criticisms of an organisation and its policies as simply "criticising Palestinians" as if that statement doesn't imply something very different. Unless you believe that by benefit of belonging to that group alone, criticism is rendered moot.I don't think I can continue this discussion until you review the basic rules of grammar. for fuck's sake.
you are criticizing Hamas. you are also criticizing Palestinians. You are also criticizing humans. You are also criticizing concentration camp escapees. All of these can be true at once! Notice how there is nowhere the word 'all'. This bullshit is emblematic of the inventive hairsplitting I referred to earlier. tedious waste of time.
You wouldn't describe criticising Israeli government policy as "criticising Jews". That may be technically, grammatically true. But its plainly obvious that using that description to refer to criticism of policy is a cynical tactic, attempting to transpose sympathy for a demographic group onto a specific organisation and any policies it pursues.
