Well they didnt avoid military personnel, they grabbed whoever they could.
Oh, they didn’t avoid military personnel when killing civilians, if they had avoided military personnel when killing civilians, like all the truly great terrorists do, THEN it would be condemnable.
Its a bit different too when you consider all Israelis serve in their military by default.
Jesus fucking Christ. I ask you to take a step back and re-examine this statement and its implications.
How about this, you tell me what they should have done instead? Continued on as they were?
You do realize that a massive attack on an occupying power does not actually have to target civilians, right?
Are you aware the IDF was killing a palestinian child per week all through 2023, PRIOR to October 7th?
Yes, I am well-aware. I’ve condemned the situation in Palestine as a genocide many, many times before October 7th.
I’m not saying its right to hurt people, I’m saying there is only so much a community can take before things like this happen,
Before… what? Before a mafia pseudostate triggers an intensified period of war with the occupying power which looks damn well like it might result in a serious incident of genocide far in excess of previous attempts, by launching an attack by paramilitary forces on the ground (as opposed to rockets or bombs) that targeted civilians, because they want to puff themselves up to hold onto power?
and now its being used as an excuse to further kill and steal land, which is wrong.
Agreed,
Or how about foreign countries lobbying our government? Bad right? If russia had a PAC and was donating money to get laws passed that are favorable to Russia, we would rightly protest across the nation.
Yep. AIPAC’s influence is awful, and should be strongly opposed, especially considering how deeply they’ve woven themselves into the current party system. Not really sure what that has to do with Hamas targeting civilians, though.
We allow the exact same thing for Israel and protesting that fact is now illegal in America. How’s that for moral consistency?
