I know, right? Don't they know reality is a zero sum game?
Horrific acts done against a group of people cancel out the horrific acts they do. As long as the other side is "worse" you can torture, murder, and rape all you want -- it's totally justified. Especially if you indiscriminately target defensless civilian populations for your "revenge".
You are morally obliged to shoot and kill people who are invading your country. The fact that includes civilians is not the fault of Hamas. Just a thought: if you don't want to get killed in a war maybe don't kick out the inhabitants to move into an active war zone??
And yes, it's an active war zone. Even the EU calls them what they are: an illegal occupation. You are passively supporting ethnic genocide.
Should US border guards shoot women and children trying to illegally cross in from Mexico?
Those civilians who are now being killed live mostly on the border of Gaza - these aren’t settlers, they don’t live in occupied territory.
Many others who were killed and kidnapped were kids at a rave near the border. Were the terrorists morally obliged to shoot them? Were they morally obliged to strip the women and beat them and post the videos online? Was the German tourist they did this to yesterday an invader?
Israel has targeted health centers and large apartment blocks as reprisals. they threated to punish the whole population by switching off electricity.
why are they even in control of the electricity?
why are they allowing settlers to create illegal settlements?
why is that Israel's concern? Just divest from the area and let them get on with it.
It's difficult of course with all the illegal Israeli settlements taking land from people and cutting up the already small area of land.
not sure why you conflate women and children seeking asylum as invaders. that's embarrassing.
lemee speedrunning their defederation
Can you only think in terms of groups? Believe it or not, I did not join lemm.ee because of my politics or whatever, I just like the name.
Interesting that your first response to an opinion you don’t agree with is a call for defederation. Ignoring the opinions and ideas of people you disagree with puts you in an echo chamber.
Look at thier comment history. Defederating is their go to response for everything
Shot back a few times? You haven't been watching the news, have you
I didn't realize "doing nothing but brutalizing Palestinians" includes providing power and water to the gaza strip because the Palestinian leadership was too corrupt build power and water treatment plants with the numerous millions of dollars of international and Israeli aid earmarked for that purpose.
My dude, Palestine has been attacked by terrorists and forced to split its country in two. It's irellevant if the terrorists then went "here, have some money you poor fucks". They still stole the land and homes of the people living there. They still are responsible for a mass exodus, and the destruction of a nation. They still killed millions to keep that land theirs.
Don't get it twisted. Their humanitarian efforts are not because they're good people. They're just so they can keep feigning legitimacy and moral superiority.
But it seems the ship has sailed and everyone's collective mind doesn't go back before the 1990s, so I guess fuck Palestine, what a mean thing to do, how dare you bomb the ~~terrorists that reside in your homes~~ civilians.
They didn’t kill millions, my dude, in any point in time. And Palestinian nationalism literally developed as a response to Zionism. Pan Arabism was very much the order of the day until the 48 war. Do you not understand how the fellahin had their land sold out from under them by the landed Arab gentry living in Beirut? There’s plenty of blame to go around, but feel free to pretend that the Jews are the only reason the Palestinians are in the position they are today.
why can't we all just live in my peace and tranquility.
Palestine has been trying peace for well over a decade. Israel doesn't care. They like the violence and they benefit from the violence.
my comment was meant to be sarcastic. it's easy for the oppressors to wonder why the oppressed won't just roll over and take the boot.
Yes soooooo peaceful to elect a government who's founding charter calls for the killing of every single Jew in Israel and out of it. Oh my God I can't get over how peaceful it is. Those poor Palestinians not being able to genocide Israel goly gee willikers.
Ukrainians have killed civilians but I don't think they generally target civilians in the way Hamas does. We should absolutely be arming palestinian moderates to prevent incursions and settlements like we are in Ukraine, though.
Israel does though
