Comment on A woman tried to call her mom in Iran. A robotic voice answered the phone
AES_Enjoyer@reddthat.com 12 hours agoIs Iran responsible for what Hamas does with the weapons and munitions they supply them?
Yes, Iran is responsible for supplying weapons to Palestinians in their legitimate right of violent defense against an occupying force. Don’t you like international law or what?
Is the US responsible for what Israel does with the weapons and munitions they supply them?
Yes, the US is responsible for keeping the weapon deliveries to a genocidal apartheid state.
Are you, by any chance, trying to somehow equate Israeli genocidal violence to Palestinian militant defence against a genocidal occupying force?

So Iran is complicit in massacring villages and taking hostages on October 7. Do you think masscring villages is not an act of war?
No I don’t equate massacring entire villages(what Hamas did) with taking military action to free hostages taken by terrorists (what Israel is doing).

I just love western logic that decries killing civilians as terrorism when one side does it, but rationalizes the the same act when the other side does it in an efficient, mechanized way with orders of magnitude more death and destruction.

It’s like how there’s between someone being killed in an accident and someone being murdered. Intent is a factor.
If you target civilians and kill civilians with the goal to terrorize a population, then you’re terrorist. If you target a military asset with the goal to defeat an enemy fighting force then you’re taking a military action even if you accidentally kill civilians.
And no, wars are not supposed to fair. It’s not a sport with rules and referees to make sure everything is fair both sides. This is real life not a Call of Duty game. If you’re fighting against a superior military force you’re not being brave, you’re just getting a lot of people killed for nothing.
Non-violent resistance has a higher probability of success and fewer people die even if it fails. That’s the path to a Palestinian state the violence of Hamas has been a complete failure. That should be obvious.
Nothing Hamas has done has improved anything for Palestinians. They just killed a lot of people and got Gaza destroyed.
Terrorists are bad.

This is the part where genocidal freaks, like yourself, claim that Israel, and the US, don’t target civilians. Got it.
I also love it when the people with all the power proclaim the wonders and efficacy of peaceful resistance. How convenient for the entrenched power. I’m tempted to call out the origin of the United States, which was violent resistance to an oppressive regime. Funny how we find that story inspiring, but deride anybody else’s struggle to be escape our own oppression.

No, it’s not an act of war, it’s violent resistance against an occupying force. As much as you probably believe Ukrainians have a right to defend themselves from Russian invasion, more so do Palestinians.
Bullshit genocidal propaganda. No wonder you get banned, you Nazi scum

Sorry but I can’t trust your judgement on matters concerning genocide when you believe massacring villages is a legitimate act.

But fundamentally you consider massacring villages a bad thing… when some people do it.
