Extract from Sim Kern's Genocide Bad, captivating
"Hasbarists will continue responding to any criticism of Israel by asking you to first condemn any local populations daring to take up arms and resist their own extermination"
"We also need to contradict blatant lies about the Palestinian resistance, like the “Hamas beheaded babies” story...Israelis are the only military force that have actually beheaded babies over the past year"

“But Hamas!”
When you say “Genocide bad,” Zionists will counter, “But Hamas .” “But Hamas” comments try to derail you from talking about Israeli violence by asking you to first address the violence of the Palestinian resistance. Comments might sound like, “Do you condemn Hamas?” or “But Hamas started this!” They may share facts, such as, “Hamas abducted children,” lies such as, “Hamas beheaded babies,” or—trickiest of all—partial truths, like, “Hamas calls for a genocide of Jews in its charter.”
