Not at all. Also bad!
But this comment thread started with IDF, and you attempted to change the subject... that is whataboutism.
So because a conversation starts with a topic, no other topic especially ones that contradict the topics narrative are allowed to be talked about. Seems like a load of shit if you ask me. Although I’m not allowed to talk about that cause no one asked right
It didn't contradict though. That's the thing about whataboutism, there is no contradiction, just another subject used to distract from the conversation. You literally replied to the OP of this thread with a distraction in an attempt to lesson the severity of one group compared to the other.
Whataboutism tacitly concedes the substantive point @lazynooblet
For that, @SuckMyWang can be thanked
What you’re saying is if anyone ever says to you “don’t throw rocks in glass houses” you’re going to go on a rant about whataboutism and how it’s the inferior view point
As hasbara, @SuckMyWang your puerile aphorism is counterproductive.
For example, on October 7 Israelis were taken hostage. That could be seen as a reaction to the thousands of Palestinian hostages held by Israel. The Israeli evil, though greater, does not excuse the evil committed by Hamas (though it could be viewed as precedent).
If you complain about the Hamas evil and I then counter with the Israeli precedent, then I am tacitly conceding the Hamas evil. Two wrongs do not make a right.

You have to break eggs to make an omelette and Civilians die in wars and Hamas is a liberation army seeking to put an end to the people doing the killing. They ARE NOT CLASSIFIED as a terror org by ANY global body including the UN and they ARE the ABSOLUTE equivalent of the Vietnamese NLF @DropBear. You DID support the NLF, didn't you? Oh, and I'm blocking his one 👉@SuckMyWang with malice, just b/c 'handle'. @palestine @israel
One evil might explain another @heretical_i but the one does not excuse the other.
