Don't you see how your knee jerk defense of anything Israel does as encouraging them to do war crimes?
I swear, you lot would defend nukes if there was a 50/50 shot of getting a child of a hamas member.

If one side can turn off the other sides water and communications at will...it's not a war. Hamas is a fractured and opportunistic militia, without enough sovereignty to actually govern.
To also highlight, half of Palestinians are undrr 20 years old, so at most 4 years old when Hamas was elected. Hamas supporters also represented about 45% of the votes, compared to the 42% voting for the progressive party. They spoke for half of a mostly dead generation, and have since been left holding the bag as the only defense force as palestine is fractured by illegal settlments and bombed to hell.
Why not? Shame is good for bad behavior
I really struggle to see what leverage Hamas gains by fudging their numbers. It feels like a talking point to reduce the fatality count.
This number, half this number, quarter this number... the political reality is the same. Murmurs of condemnation while the US keeps the money pump going, Israel keeps commiting war crimes, and Palestine shrinks into nothing.
I agree, but it takes less than 10 min and is more impactful than lemmy posts
Oh and i suppose those are the numbers Israel gave you. Civilian casualties is just part of war when cowardly israeli generals live in civilian areas.
Oh whoops accidentally used yalls dehumanization tactics. So silly of me, ignore that.
Neonazis do genuinely like Israel (currently and historically). For a combo of either:
(1) It's a place to send the jews to get them out of their country. One if the main reasons the US supported israel in early days, guven how antisemetic the US was (and is)
Or
(2) They see it as a model ethnostate regarding how they eliminate Palestinians. I.e. look at the map since 1949 or even 2000.
But more simply: if some meathead hates jews and muslims, pick the winning side
Respect the sentiment, but even this offers too much.
Being jewish has less to do with israel than being chinese does with china. It should really be israeli.
Being jewish is cool, fun, and (crucially) has nothing to do with supporting right wing ethnostates.
Such comic book understanding of hammas, essentially the closest thing Palestinians have to a government, and the sole force resisting genocide (albeit as rightwing theocrats).
Yet the humane alternatives will never bee humored by israel. Grant citizenship to all Palestinians, roll back illegal settlments designed to fragment the people and enstate a 2 state solution, really anything other than leveling civilian areas because there mightaybe could be a guy with a rocket. Apply that logic to any city and we would have flattened Manhattan by the 90s.
The average Palestinian is under 20 years old. This is one of the most powerful and right wing armies in the world making excises for killing children.
AKA ethnic cleansing. I'm sure they've considered it.
All while there are fewer and fewer alternative phramacies in the US. Wish the workers the best
A few hostages vs killing hundreds of children. Wonder why there is a discrepancy, also, what is a moral compas?
