If this is investigated an confirmed, will you condemn it?

It literally can be answered yes or no. I'll make it even easier for you. You are in control of the military. You locate a terrorist in a house. You know for certain that civilians are in the house too. Would you still strike the house?

No, and yes Hamas is getting what they deserve. And no, Israel *does* have a responsibility to save civilians. Collective punishment is a war crime. If you don't like that, take it up with the Geneva Convention. See how directly I answered your question? Now do mine. Israel locates a terrorist. He is in a house with civilians. Israel knows the civilians are present. Should Israel strike the house? Would you? Yes or no?

I want you to actually answer the question, which is at the core of that issue. Israel locates a terrorist. He is in a house with civilians. Israel knows the civilians are present. Should Israel strike the house? Would you? Yes or no?

Hamas does use civilians as human shields. We all know that. Given that information, does Israel have the right to kill those human shields, which you acknowledge should not be targeted? Yes or no. Is a US police officer allowed to kill a hostage in order to kill the person holding them hostage? Yes or no?

look up the definition of imperialism

apply that to israeli violations of international law and get back to me

no you dodged the question with a mealy mouth equivocation. are civilians who support hamas legit targets? yes or no if no, if israel “targets” a hamas operative knowing that civilians are present and will die in the strike, is that a crime? yes or no

No, I laughed at the idea that it was supposed to be scary and you came back with "well what if they try to kill everyone." Use common sense. Does free speech give them the right to trespass? No. Is this a serious crime we should all be afraid of? Also no.

Because I'm an American and my government isn't supporting Hamas with billions of dollars. If my government was giving Hamas weapons to prolong the violence, I would protest them. That's how protests work Jimbo.

Is that a yes or no? Because Jimmy is saying civilians lose their legal protections if they support Hamas. That is the question. Yes or no. That's also been the implicit argument of many on here. We shouldn't feel bad for civilians because they didn't stand up to Hamas. And you can keep saying they aren't targeting civilians all you want. It's not "verified" and there is tons of evidence to suggest otherwise, but leave that aside for the moment and just answer the question straight up: does israel have the right to kill palestinian civilians if they support hamas?

So what are you actually complaining about? They've been asked to leave. They said no. Now they'll face consequences. The SF police now have the option to handle the situation in the way they feel best promotes public safety. You think we should gun them down just in case? Being annoyed is the cost of freedom bucky. Go live in China if you want to live in an authoritarian country.

that his conviction was overturned on appeal? i'm not sure why you're so hung up on what democrats call him. still waiting on an answer to the other question. i'll pose it here for you too. does israel have the right to kill palestinian civilians if they support hamas?

Sure. They should do it. Now what? If they don't, you think we should kill them? Answer the question.

You just described life as a Palestinian.

What you're complaining about is living in a free society. Are you going to pretend that security isn't on hand watching the situation? There are certainly precautions being taken. They just don't extend to trampling freedom.

37 states have passed some sort of law in response to BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement against Israel. The individual laws take different forms depending on the state. In Texas, for example, you can't get contract work for the government unless you sign an oath stating you won't boycott Israel. You also aren't allowed to boycott energy companies or gun organizations. Pretty blatant violation of free speech that conservatives never seem to complain about. That's only one example I listed. Care to comment on the others? And also, care to answer my question on the other thread?

true. if they were attacking the embassy, you'd have a point. but they aren't, so you don't!

people standing in a lobby. the horror.

strange that conservatives never complain about "big government" when it comes to the local police department getting armored vehicles and high grade military weapons. or the military getting hundreds of billions more than it needs every year. or state legislatures determining what books schools can have in their library or states mandating a loyalty oath to a foreign country to be a government country and the list goes on and on

Okay, then answer it again. Yes or no is all I need.

This is why people turn to Hamas

nobody is answering the question! does israel have the right to kill palestinians civilians if they support hamas? yes or no. please answer!

“why don’t they just overthrow hamas?”
