The comment I replied to said:

a Holocaust level genocide is taking place

30,000 people have died. 17 million people died in the holocaust. That is not on the same level and it is not on the same scale. 30,000 is a significantly smaller number than 17 million.

If you support the Palestinian cause, pretending otherwise is a home goal.

I get that it feels right, because people are understandably angry about all this, but it's not a winning argument. Quite the opposite. If you're provably exaggerating the scale of what's happening, it allows supporters of Israel's far right government to sow doubt and claim you might also be exaggerating about the very very real war crimes and ethnic cleansing they are engaged in.

He's not arguing in good faith.

Here he's arguing that Hamas hasn't rejected anything, ie. they haven't rejected a deal.

Further down in the comments, he says that the Israeli deal is stupid, thereby admitting that there is an Israeli deal which Hamas is rejecting.

Check out his comment history.

I remember giving the joystick port on my C64 a wet willy to activate cheat mode on a game. No, I'm not making that up.

This article and my comment are about mugshots not arrest records. But it is good that you point out why arrest records are important.

They haven't even been convicted yet, they're supposed to enjoy the presumption of innocence, and yet they're being shamed and punished.

The dead naming really isn't cool either, although that's probably bottom of the list of worries trans people have when interacting with the police given the horror stories I've heard.
