Nope, they absolutely attacked first. Rationalize it all you want but fact is Palestine et al chose violence FIRST.
Second, Hamas absolutely uses human shields. Storing weapons, equipment and themselves under schools and the like. Thats what you don't get. They have tunnels everywhere and can come out wherever and whenever they want so all this BS about Israel intentionally targetting civilians is a load when a declared safezone gets ambushed for the millionth time by terrorist cockroaches coming out of the woodwork specifically because it is 'safe'.
Hamas picked the fight and then hides amongst the populace. Clearly Israel is to blame there.
For the inevitable report the mods will get: this is directly quoting Elon Musk accusing a volunteer trying to save lives of paedophilia just for disagreeing with him.
By shielding themselves with the wives and children... After invading first, slaughtering innocents and taking hostages they continue to refuse to release. It isn't a genocide. It's the tragic consequence of using civilians as shields. Really want to stop the killing? Call on Hamas to surrender or at least stop cowering under schools. But we both know that isn't your intention.
You're arguing my point. Both sides KNOW the other wants to end their existence and everyone on both sides is doing as much as they are willing to that end. For some it is paying their taxes. Others, sending their children to a school they know harbours Hamas weapons. Some spit and throw rocks at soldiers and some pick up an AK. Israel has stopped hesitating when it comes to the 2nd and 3rd category and stopped caring about the first and frankly I don't blame them.
You know Hamas is intentionally hiding amongst the civilians to garner sympathy and you're supporting that strategy by falling for it instead of decrying that warcrime.
Your vote is more than just consent for that party to enact their agenda. It is the strongest, if not the only, way to message both parties what you want government to do that they really listen too. Vote blue repeatedly and the Dems platform moves to the left as will the Reps eventually. Enough people vote blue consistently over time and the Reps would support healthcare reform etc...
It's all right there in your own statement. They shouldn't want revenge. They should want justice. ICC should absolutely get involved where crimes against humanity are concerned. Their desire for revenge takes out 'innocents' on the Israeli side and the circle of hate continues.
And as I've already said. Both sides want the complete removal of the other. Statistics only show what we all agree on: Israel is more capable of effecting their threat. So not only are both sides morally in the wrong, Hamas' is also foolish for begging to be pooped on in the first place.
And 'earning mine et al' sympathy is apparently worth something because the news constantly appeals to it.
lol I can't even. Doubling down on the disingenuous arguments. Toodles dude. Reality is Gaza is going to be converted to a parking lot if people like you continue to refuse facing facts and conceding this isn't a winnable fight. Keep on clutching your pearls and saying 'no u' until the martyr supply is completely exhausted. Some consolation 'but we were right' will be at that point eh?
That’s just not true. Over half of the population wasn’t even ALIVE the last time there was an alternative to vote for, much less old enough to vote.
Yes, it is. Every newsclip I've seen the 'civilians' use the word martyr in their statement. Face it. They aren't people in the Trade Centre just living their lives. They tacitly or overtly support the cause and so are not mere innocent bystanders. As for age? Indoctrination starts at birth and you know it so knock it off with the disingenuous arguments.
I never said Israel is perfect. Just this relentless myopic support for terrorist sympathizers is not going to work. Both sides can suck it tbh. The whole thing is a tragedy. But I see right through this "genocide isn't cool when my side isn't the one doing it". You want actual earned sympathy for anyone involved in the Israel-Palestine fiasco? Surrender. Release the hostages. Rescind and prohibit any and all related fatwas/jihads. Have the UN step in and force a 2 state solution that both sides hate but accept, and cut the random acts of terrorism BS out permanently. Sit the F down and settle this BS peacefully.
But they won't. This shit show will continue on until one side or the other loses completely and I got news for you unless something radically changes it doesn't look like it is going to be Israel.
