I never equivocated the Israeli actions and the Palestinian ones. I would say anyone arguing in good faith should agree that both sides have done bad things. The scale may be wildly different, but that doesn’t magically make it okay. The axis powers did the most wrong in WWII, but internment of japanese civilians by allied powers is still not okay.

Not to mention Israel doesn’t really make those kinds of translation mistakes. Most Israeli’s are at least partially bilingual, and almost all signage/packaging/etc is written in hebrew and arabic. I would be extremely surprised if anyone who has lived in Israel for more than about a year didn’t know the names of the week in arabic. Any more than someone living in Canada not knowing them in french. They may forget whick ones correspond to whick, but they should recognize that that is what they are.

This is the kind of thing entities like Hamas need to learn to crack down on. Its a lot harder to say “oops we missed your valid military target and hit a school instead” if the valid military target is a decent distance from civilian infrastructure. Even Iran is pretty bad at that.
