The calculus changes when everything from ambulances to children could be actual, literal bombs.
Comment on It was in self-defence 🙃
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 year agoI’m sorry, but whose currently suffering on the Israeli side? Because Gaza is literally starving. And the Aid trucks are idling at the border with food that the IDF refuses to let through.

Nope. No you don’t get to go down that road. We dealt with that uncertainty in Iraq without causing a massive famine or using 2,000 pound bombs. They are no excuses for genocide, and certainly not victim blaming.

It sounds like you’re saying if Jihadists use ambulances and children then there’s no defense. Just lay down and die.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sounds like you’re trying to limp every person in Gaza in with Hamas. Professional soldiers have procedures for those situations. Ones Israel isn’t using.

That’s a really weird way to say, “I’ll kill any Palestinian that moves, even the cattle, because I can’t even bother viewing them as human beings”.

Possibly the families of some of the people killed by Hamas. I bet they’re suffering.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah I bet their friends are doing things like bringing them did to help and their jobs are giving them extra time off or something.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yes, that is generally part of grieving.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Both of which are things the families of 27,000 Gazans cannot do right now. They have no jobs, no food, and there’s a good chance their friends are dead too.
