1,2, and 5 are all effects of every large scale war. As for 3, Israel is not trying to harm gazans to bring about its whole destruction. If that was their goal then why do they attempt to minimize civilian casualties as much as it reasonably possible. As for 4, idek where the accusation that Israel is preventing births came from because the population of Gaza has grown half a million the last decade.
Brainwashed idiot. Iran funds Hamas, a terrorist organization that went into Israel with the sole intent of killing as many civilians as possible -no military goals. What do you think would happen if a depraved regime like Irans were to posses nukes? Keep them for decoration? Under no circumstances can such a wicked country possess nukes. You’re a shmuck
Only after making an actual argument did i call him what he is, a shmuck. Defending Israel’s right to defend itself isn’t “maga brain rot.” I may not support trump but yes i do support his decision to aid Israel. He may make questionable decisions, but his Israel policies are nothing short of noble.
I mean why bother arguing with these people, any person with half a brain cell can see that Irans official policy is wiping Israel off the face of the earth. But if you say that you’re an Islamophobic. Like… no there are plenty of Muslim majority countries who aren’t completely insane. Saudia Arabia for example, except that one time they killed that journalist
Palestine has been heavily oppressed by Israel, when tensions rose Israel chose to bomb schools and hospitals with no confirmed military targets inside. Verifiable and completely recorded by the history books and there’s no wriggling out of it. They’ve been murdering children to remove potential future insurrectionists and Palestinians, itself constituting a genocide
Collateral damage does not equal indiscriminate killing. In the pursuit of killing terrorists there are civilian deaths. That’s the truth of every single war. As a matter of fact, if you look at the statistics, Israel’s civilian to combatant death ratio is the best in all history of urban warfare. I undoubtedly agree with you that deaths of civilians is terrible and regretful, but our point of disagreement is who’s at fault: Hamas
So you’re overlooking the part where I outlined that there’s verifiable proof of Israel bombing schools houses and hospitals for civilian casualties, and what’s I say first thing oh ya, you people always resort to either Islamophobia or victim claiming, and you’ve proven my point quite well thank you
And while hamas has used human shields in the past and in the current conflict limitedly it’s been proven Israel has been using them too, even outright murdering surrender civilians for no reason other than suspect. Israel is no better than Hamas in human shields at this point so your victim blaming is mute
Idk where the accusation of islamaphobia came from because i never said anything against Muslims in general but okay I’ll just ignore that. The only reason hospitals or schools have been blown up is because these disgusting terrorists hide behind these institutions. The compassion Hamas has for its people really shines when they build tunnels and store weapons in hospitals. Tell me this, what would you rather have israel do.
If Hamas hides behind a school, don’t cry when it gets blown up. What do you expect Israel to do, allow Hamas to attack it and then hide being a hospital to grant themselves immunity? If that were so, Hamas would have found the ultimate cheat code: attack Israel and then hide for cover behind an invulnerable civilian institution.
I said either Islamophobia or victim blaming, I’ll be genuine I didn’t intend to claim you were being islamophobic because i don’t think you were. And if they’re hiding in the hospitals, does that give the IDF the excuse to bomb those hospitals even though there are innocent civilians being treated inside as well? It isn’t like Palestine has military hospitals either, so in the case of a conflict they HAVE to be treated inside a civilian one
So you’re perfectly fine with Israel bombing children hiding in a school because a thug was hiding behind it too? That’s exactly what’s been happening, a terrorist (because not all Palestinian militants are terrorists plenty of morals and character) will fuck shit ik and Israel will say screw it whags 30 more dead kids anyways they’re gonna grow up to hate us anyways
I’m not sure what gave you that idea. I think Israel should treat its adversaries as a uniformed military, despite their refusal to wear uniforms or identify themselves. Whether they wear uniforms is kind of an academic question, though, when they build command centers and weapons depots in schools, hospitals, churches, and mosques.
You don’t know what genocide is. Civilians dying ( in comparison to militants dying at a rate substantially lower than in all history of urban warfare) due to collateral damage does not mean there is a system in place to exterminate Palestinians. If they wanted to exterminate them (which they wouldn’t because Israel is a morally driven nation unlike other Arab nations) it would have been done already.
Yeah that’s wildly ignorant tbh, both sides have done quite a bit to justify the other side hating them. The best path forward is for Israelis to recognize they won’t have peace while Palestinians can’t self determine, and for Palestinians to realize they won’t have peace while Israelis don’t have security, and proceed in negotiations that give both sides what they need, whatever form that takes.
I don’t deny that Israel may have acted questionably at some point, but these aberrations are far too infrequent to be considered trends or representative of Israel’s essence or ideals. Also, when their shortcomings are weighed against irans or palestines, it’s unequivocal that there is no moral equivalency between the two.
This isn’t large scale war, it’s a developed military against terrorists and the casualties should be no where near the leveled they’re at and that’s coming from someone critical of casualties made by Americans in the Middle East too. And idk what you mean by minimizing civilian casualties where have you seen signs of that besides scaling back the war effort in general? And they’re preventing births by murdering children, ya it isn’t word for word but they go hand in hand
The casualties shouldn’t be this high you’re right. But I’ll make two points here: the ratio of combatant to civilian deaths is more important to judge Israel’s actions than the mere number. Half a million German civilians died in ww2 but I don’t think it’d be accurate to call the British the bad guys in causing that would it? My second point is that the casualties being so high is Hamas’s fault. Also, Children dying (not by murder per the definition of murder) does NOT equal preventing births.
I know that the cool thing now a days is to hop on the Israel hate train, but you have to realize that for us Jews, the existence of Israel is paramount. For thousands of years we’ve been persecuted by countries we trusted until suddenly they turned their backs on us. The importance of the modern state of Israel lies in its protection and guarantee that it won’t ever persecute its Jews. That’s what Zionism is about, not colonialism, not genocide, not anything of the sort.
Mass slaughter is a nasty relabeling of casualties of war. If that’s what you want to call deaths from war then I guess America killing nazis in the 1940s was also a mass slaughter. Zionism didn’t originate with the intention of killing people. The only thing Jews wanted after the holocaust was peace. The Arabs are at fault for the subsequent bloodshed
And I condem the bombing of Dresden too, but Israel has the capacity to surgically eliminate terrorist suspects, but they also have the moral and legal obligation to minimize casualties which they are not. They are bombing shelters, and camps, hospitals, and schools, they claim they are Hamas sites- then infiltrate. They do not. They bomb. They starve children. They let newborns die in incubators. This is a genocide. This is a war crime. This is a crime against humanity. This is sin.
When soldiers shoot grandmothers walking down the street it is murder. When they beat a man to death that is murder. When they run over an American in Gaza with a bulldozer that is murder. When you disregard the lives of innocent civilians “collateral damage” becomes murder. How can you defend the targeted killings of children and grandmothers.
You’re overestimating Israel’s military ability. They minimize casualties as much as they can, but there’s not much to be done when terrorists are deliberately hiding behind civilians. Also, there is an abundance of evidence showing that Hamas hides in its tunnels under schools, as well as hides weapons in hospitals
There is no justification for this. If America did it I would condemn it just as much. If any nation did it I would condemn it. How can you rationalize, minimize, and justify the deaths of thousands upon thousands of people? How can you justify the weaponized starvation of children?
Soldiers shooting grandmothers is condemnable and saddening. But these soldiers are unrepresentative of Israel’s mission and objectives. One soldier acting nefariously doesn’t represent Israel nor the idf. This contrasts with Hamas mission, which is to kill every Jew from the river to sea, per their charter.
There’s no weaponized starvation stop using buzz words. Also yes there is a justification. The death of civilians is disgusting and terrible, but it is not done deliberately by the idf, it is a consequence of every war. Do you condemn Americas involvement in the battle of bulge in ww2 against Germany where 5000 German civilians died. Do you think it would have been better to avoid the battle altogether and compromise Americas victory in ww2 to avoid these deaths?
There have been multiple reports that this is common sentiment, there have been multiple accounts of rapes, torture, and coverups done by Israeli soldiers, there was a right to rape protest. The Israeli government has used language mimicking that of other leaders who have committed genocide. They have called Palestinians less than human and beasts, they have said they want to kill them all. This is genocide.
You are delusional and are going to hell. You justify the deaths of children. There is no justification for the death of children. There is no justification for the weaponized starvation- which despite your opinion, is indeed happening according to multiple sources and experts. Israel is committing genocide & you are defending it. Congratulations. 🎊
Call it justification or whatever you’d like. Bottom line is, it is upsetting that children on both sides are dying due to this conflict, but gazan children are being killed unintentionally, while Israeli children are killed deliberately. Sure, a child’s death may never be justified, but it surely is worse if they die from a bomb that was directed at terrorists, than if they die by the rifle of a Hamas terrorist deliberately killing them.
You refuse to acknowledge Israel is deliberately attacking civilians, weaponizing starvation, targeting protected populations including UN workers, aid workers, and the press; you refuse to acknowledge this is a genocide. You have no morals and no shame. The world is waking up and seeing this for what it is. A 75+ year long atrocity. There will be no moral or logical defense for the wholesale slaughter of children, on condemnation.
What about saying “I condemn the deaths of innocents” doesn’t make sense? Please enlighten me. I do not mourn for anyone who was a monster that was killed in war, I mourn for the loss of innocents, of the thousands of children starving and living in fear because the leaders wish to destroy the world to rebuild it in their image. I condemn the atrocities done by Hamas and I condemn the atrocities done by Israel. You refuse to acknowledge the atrocities done by the Zionist state. That is barbaric.
I understand that you condemn the deaths of innocent Israelis on October 7. Therefore, you must support Israel retaliating against those who killed its innocents deliberately. Israel did not commit atrocities. It is an atrocity if civilians are intentionally killed, something Israel does not do.
All im saying is that the death of children is unfortunate but it was collateral damage. Civilian deaths occur invariably in wars, and as a matter of fact, Israel’s ratio of combatant to civilian casualties is unprecedentedand remarkable. There is no discussing withyou. I think it’s clear you don’t the IQ to apply logic and make a counter argument without using a strawman and appealing to emotion. You misinterpret everything I say and just leave an emotionally charged and unproductive response
Stay out of politics if you can’t think critically and only in terms of “noooo Israel bad guy they do a genocide 😡” to Every argument Ive advanced youve given me an evasive response. If you can’t understand the simple premise that Israel needed to retaliate in response to the terrorist attack that left over a thousand Israelis dead, you clearly have a room temperature iq and im not inclined to keep this up.
