What do you say about a terrorist organization constantly bombing a country that escalates into a war? It's free country so you can keep spewing the crap you do about Israel on here, and you can go on supporting a terrorist organization, and you can try and rationalize it all you want in your little head that you aren't doing that but you are and you are a terrible human for doing so. Only one of us isn't condemning the murder of innocent civilians. It's not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a freaking life. You've shown no concern for innocent Palestinian deaths. Israel has already killed far more Palestinians than Israeli's were killed on 10/7. How many need to die before you think it's enough? Give me a number. I would say this to your face btw.

We can substitute a lot of governments and millions of people there and it is truth. Unfortunately, that works the other way as well. Tragically, we recently saw the latter play out and are seeing former play out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those two have repeatedly accused me and others of "supporting Hamas" in this thread. I gave them a taste of their own medicine and they don't like it.

mspart Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 So let me get this straight. If you kill civilians, that is a war crime? Which war has been fought in the last 100 years that has not resulted in civilian deaths? Civilian death and property destruction is the main consequence of modern war. Israel is not targeting civilians. There is no other armed force that I know of that tries to avoid civilian deaths like the IDF. Perhaps US troops do similar. Certainly not Russian troops. So when Israel attacks, they have warned everyone what they are going to do. If civilians are present, they either were prevented from leaving or they are not really civilians. I see this as Israel having done their due diligence to prevent civilian deaths. Please show where Hamas has ever taken this tactic with regard to Israeli civilians. This is just one way to differentiate the tactics used and the intent of the two sides here. In my opinion, Hamas did not go to all out war, they went as far as to initiate an initial skirmish with civilians, not against armed forces. That is a war crime. Mowing down 270 youth at a music/dance get together is a crime, not just a war crime. Burning alive civilians in their houses is a crime, not just a war crime. What did they think would be the response from Israel? Did they think that Israel would roll over? I don't think so. I think they knew the response would be punishing and swift. I think the calculus was that other entities would come to help the fight. Hezbollah is certainly answering that call in a small way. But they were roundly condemned for their brutal and inhuman actions. And now Israel is prepared to take out Hamas as an entity. Is there a reason not to? Hamas' attacks have been constant over the years from Gaza. They had a sort of truce going on and apparently we and Israel relaxed about any violence. Then came 10/7. Israel is understandably incensed and their intent to eliminate Hamas now is also understandable. If Israel wanted to destroy civilians in Gaza, why have they historically provided, food, energy and fuel to Gaza? If Gazans and Hamas disarmed, what would be the result? Peace. If Israel disarmed, what would be the result? Annihilation. This again shows the disparate intent of the two. mspart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say you denounce Hamas, yet you continue to run interference for them. One reason fewer Israeli civilians are killed is because the IDF protects them and doesn’t hide because them. If there is a crime involving human shields, the crime is committed by hamas. Edited October 27, 2023 by Offthemat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jross Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Hamas is committing war crimes by using Palestine citizens as human shields. People are debating whether Israel is taking all feasible precautions to minimize harm to civilians. To me, the military advantage gained from attacks is not in proportion to the amount of civilian deaths. Israel is "innocent" because the USA backs them, and the standard of 'feasible precaution' is subjective. I'm not picking on Israel for any ideological reason. A war crime is inevitable in war. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/10/damning-evidence-of-war-crimes-as-israeli-attacks-wipe-out-entire-families-in-gaza/#:~:text=As Israeli forces continue to,be investigated as war crimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
