When even an invader tells you to knock it off, you might be the bad guy.
When Russia, Turkey, Hamas, and Iran condemn you, I find little reason to believe their collective arguments.

Rich coming from the guy who failed to assassinate Zelensky. This really puts all this into perspective for me.

Add a couple hundred of killed Georgian civilians and you have a range for Russian civilian kills in the last 30 years of:
80,000 - 230,000
If we count genocides perpetrated by Turkish nationalists in the Ottoman Empire and continued by newly founded Turkey we have:
As to genocides perpetrated solely by the state of Turkey:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dersim_massacre
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilan_massacre
Several hundred more Kurdish civilians have been killed in the past few decades by Turkey.
But you're right that in the past few decades Turkey hasn't killed as many Kurdish civilians as Israel has Palestinian civilians. Turkey is "just" commiting cultural genocide right now.
That is a tall claim.
Citation needed.
Considering Hamas hid behind them (and Palestinian civilians), I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion.
It's funny how many times Israel made that excuse only to turn out that there were no Hamas members in the vicinity when they made those attacks. Even so, that's no justification for the indiscriminate killing of civilians that Israel does on a daily basis.
I find none of this funny. And I'm similarly finding no justification for hiding behind civilians.
At least I know what side Russia and Turkey are on, and that's incredibly telling information to me.
15-day ban for reposting removed comments on multiple occasions and even after a 1-day ban. The next one will be permanent.
This appears to be a clear false dichotomy to me (and wildly speculative opinion), there is obvious room between those two positions, and I won't respond to what I consider bad faith discussion.
Have a good day!

So in your mind, it's totally cool to murder innocent women, men, and children as long as there is a chance that terrorists who are currently hiding might possibly be killed in the process?
I said that?
You said Hamas hides behind children, which is why you wholeheartedly disagree with Israel being morally worse than people who are not Hamas based on children killing. I have no other way to interpret that besides you thinking its OK to kill kids as long as Israel is targeting terrorists who might be hiding there.
No other way... Huh odd.
Then please explain how you meant it.
How about you take another stab at it?
Mossad HQ is in densely populated Tel-Aviv
Tell me Israel isn't doing the exact same thing...

You: Statement that only a third of people interpreted the way you apparently intended.
Me: Is this really what you meant?
You: No.
Me: Can you tell me what you meant?
You: No.
Man, it's almost like you actually did mean it the way the rest of us interpreted it but don't like being called a psychopath after saying psychopathic things.
Odd interpretation.
Equating it's okay to kill those behind civilians
Thank you for confirming I said exactly not that.
Think you need to work on your reading comprehension
Your opinion means shit against facts, you are WRONG. Isreal is a terrorist state
Israel straps children to the front of its cars to stop them being shot at…
Every accusation is a confession

Israel:

Additionally, there is extensive independent verification of Israel using Palestinians as Human Shields:

Deliberate Attacks on Civilians
Israel deliberately targets civilian areas. From in general with the Dahiya Doctrine to multiple systems deployed in Gaza to do so:

Israel also targets Israeli Soldiers and Civilians to prevent them being leveraged as hostages, known as the Hannibal Directive. Which was also used on Oct 7th.
