I have no idea what you're on about or how this reply in any way relates to what I said.

None of what I'm saying disputes that. I hope Israel will be held accountable for all the crimes they've commited. I don't agree with how, but I agree with why they're doing it. What do you imagine they're even supposed to do? On top of the IDF's disregard, they're commonly used as human shields aswell.

I was replying to Count042@lemmy.ml

The murder of civilians by intentionally withholding food and water, and blockading all entrances to the area is explicitly a war crime.

I'm not disputing what they're saying. I just get the feeling, that people tend to be quite one-sided when it comes to this issue. I'm not actually even quite sure why I replied to this user in particular, as the message itself I mostly agree with.

Sure people can criticize Hamas, but they’ve done considerably less damage in this conflict.

But is that because they're being much more considerate and careful around civilians than the IDF or is it simply just lack of resources? Imagine if the roles were reversed.

Calling who out?

The people criticizing IDF for killing civilians while being unable to voice a single criticizm towards Hamas when they're doing the exact same thing.

I won’t argue with you, in the same way that I won’t engage in an argument about racism with a piece of shit that uses the N-word, you child-murder justifying fuck.

Yet here you are still arguing.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

I'm calling them out for criticizing Israel for killing civilians, but failing to criticize Hamas for doing the exact same thing.

There's a ton I condemn Israel for. If this is true then I'll just add it to the list. Believe it or not, I condemn the murder of civilians period. It doesn't matter whose doing it. Plenty of religious extremism and disregard for others going on on both sides. That's why I'm not rooting for one or the another.

Residents of the kibbutz said that Hamas fighters told them not to be afraid as they were there to fight the IDF, and they state they were not harmed by Hamas.

I condemn Israel for the civilians they're killing in Gaza. I do not approve and I hope they will face the consequences for it.

Do you condemn Hamas for murdering the 250 innocent people at the peace rave? Are you able to critizice both sides or do you just turn a blind eye to the other?

Made in Gaza: Hamas Rockets the Product of Foreign Aid and Smuggled Material

UN gives them fertilizer to grow food and feed the people. Hamas uses it to make rocket fuel.

I don't think my adblocker cares what kind of ads they're trying to show me. If anything their algorithms will just get confused for why this guy who used to be here hours every day now only comes to watch war videos once a day but no longer comments or upvotes anything.

Eiköhän sitä itsekkin pörssisähköllä mennä. Pieni talo onneksi, niin lämmityskustannukset ei tähtitieteelliset tule olemaan jokatapauksessa. Täytyy varmaan laittaa varaajaan kellokytkin ja tutustua saisiko vessan lattialämmitystä ja ilmalämpöpumppua jotenkin ajastettua.

Hue lights also works from the light switch just like a normal bulb.

That's just Germany. I don't think the anti-nuclear sentiment is that popular elsewhere. Finland just started a new reactor, granted we began bulding it already back in 2005.

What are you saying?

While I basically agree with what you're saying, I'd also like to point out that the money they get from you watching ads is miniscule. I don't remember which YouTuber it was, maybe Matthias Wandell, who said that if you donate just one dollar, that's more than they're ever going to profit from you watching ads.

That happened to me on desktop aswell. I updated Firefox and uBlock and rebooted my computer and that seems to have solved it. For now..

People here mostly seem to vote on basis of who they think the commenter is - not what they're saying.

Why even bother responding to me if, instead of addressing what exactly you take issue with in my statement, you just immediately resort to insults?
