Responding to
A lesser-evil comparison favors Hamas over Israel.
"That’s why Hamas is not a thousand times better than Israel."
Jones directly disputes the comparative judgment rather than simply attacking Piker personally or denying Palestinian suffering.
Jones's own published text accompanying his video directly addresses Piker's Hamas-over-Israel comparison. He acknowledges Palestinian suffering and argues that political goals and methods must both meet moral constraints protecting civilians. His interpretation of Piker's broader argument remains attributed to Jones.
