Israeli air strikes on a so-called “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, according to health authorities in the enclave.
The strikes targeted at least 20 tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the coastal area near the city of Khan Younis.
Eyewitnesses told AFP that at least five rockets fell in the area, with emergency services saying the strikes created craters up to nine metres deep.
How would Israel operate differently if Hamas was hiding in Tel Aviv and using those citizens as their human shields?
Ah yes, hypotheticals we’d never have to consider. What if Hamas actually cared about Palestinians?
Am I doing it right? :)
You’ve clearly gotten the point from my hypothetical and don’t like the conclusion you yourself have reached ;)
Enjoy speedrunning post-9/11 US neoconservatism
Weird conclusion, speaking for yourself?
In my opinion way more productive than silly hypotheticals (and how poor arguments should be responded to, in kind)
Man it would be great if someone (anyone) could disprove what I’m posting, instead of throwing accusations of genocide or… Memeing…
Edit: lol at the insistence of hypotheticals being some “gotcha.”
Sure, if you’d like to actually engage I’d be happy to walk you through what everyone’s problem with how the IDF is operating.
We expect Israel to treat the life of every Palestinian civilian the same way they would treat an Israeli civilian.
It’s that simple.
Hamas is the bad guy, they’re bad because they kill innocent people to achieve their objectives.
For Israel to be the good guy, they need to not kill innocent people to achieve their objectives. They can’t say ‘we had no choice, Hamas forced us to kill those civilians or we wouldn’t be able to achieve our objectives’.
And you disproved what I posted… Where? Because I’m trusting this wasn’t just a springboard to talk about the IDF when I’m discussing what Hamas is doing right?
Because that’d be whataboutism…
Maybe try addressing what I wrote, not what you want to engage in, which for you is discussing the IDF and not Hamas.
This is the title of the article we are discussing:
Your comment was copy-pasted detailing how Hamas used civilians as shields forntheir operations
Is that not whataboutism? Sounds like I’m just getting the topic back on track after your attempt to derail it.
That’s a hostage situation, or breaking and entering (and maybe blackmail), depending on if the citizens in question are different ones from Tel Aviv or the original ones from The Gaza strip. It’s an entirely different situation.
But I thought they all had the same rights?
It depends if they’re willfully hiding the terrorists or are forced to do so.
The cheat code here is indoctrinating your soldiers (serving compulsorily) to the point that they equate “Palestinian” with “terrorist.”
A religious ethnostate where every single citizen is required to serve in the military. A military that brainwashes them into believing that Palestinians are literally subhuman. And I mean literally in the classic sense. These are not humans in their eyes.
Which means that every school and hospital in the area is “harboring terrorists” because there are Palestinians there. How convenient for them.
I’m Israeli and have served in the IDF. This is simply not true.
LOL.
Many of them are also taught a whole lot about disseminating propaganda.
I’m glad you find it funny. Have a nice life.
I will, thanks. You’d be surprised how much difference a clear conscious (with no cognitive dissonance there to nag you) can make.
Maybe try not practicing genocide apologia for a bit. I bet you’ll feel better about yourself.
