I thought that at first too. Then I realized that it wasn’t a rhetorical device and that they literally meant that they want to reduce Palestinian suffering.
I believe they meant they wanted to see actions that minimized Palestinian suffering, not “I want to speak as if I’m minimizing the importance of Palestinian suffering”
Actually, rereading the post, I think they had it correct. The “don’t” would in fact be the opposite of what they said, and that doesn’t make sense with the rest of the context.
I think you missed the word “don’t”Me fail english. I misread what OP was saying. Sorry, my bad
