        No. Whataboutism is meant to deflate an argument, saying that since someone else does something bad, this is acceptable. I am saying that both are doing it, and both are bad because of it.

          Wrong.

          Post is about Hamas torturing people. “But what about Israel” is whataboutism.

          I will not litigate bad faith arguments with you anymore. And that description of deflation you provided definitely fits your argument. I know this because the original post makes no mention of “both sides bad.” Just Israel. Over.
