Human Rights Watch says Israel used white phosphorous in Gaza, Lebanon
Human Rights Watch on Thursday accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions in its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, saying the use of such weapons puts civilians at risk of serious and long-term injury.
You're viewing a single thread.
In Star Wars terms Israel is the Empire and Hamas are the Rebels.
The Rebels ruthlessly murdered hundreds of millions of people when they blew up the Death Star.
Military targets are morally different than civilian targets with or without collateral damage. Hamas are not the heroes.
Hamas knew what was coming when they launched their senseless terror. The blood of civilians on the Gaza Strip is on their hands.
Likewise, Netanyahu and his far right government has been provoking this intentionally. He has the blood of Israeli citizen on his. They did not expect an attack to be this successful, but I guaran-fucking-tee you they were waiting for and intentionally provoking an opportunity to strike back.
Both of them intentionally kill civilians. Both can get fucked.
If you're looking for heroes, start with the people working for UN schools at the Gaza Strip.
"Israel slaughters Palestinian civilians on any day, so them mounting a resistance basically translates to Hamas killing Palestinians".
Your father mercilessly beat you and blamed it on your mom, didn't he?
If you think Hamas does anything but to promote Israels extinctionist agenda by targeting civilians, you are tragically wrong.
It's not that one cannot understand that people in Gaza get desperate and start supporting Hamas - it's equally easy to understand how people in Israel become terrified and support Netanyahu and his allies. It's a death spiral.
Sympathize with the people, not their terrorist leaders. At least the people of Israel got to stupidly elect their leaders only a year ago - the people in Gaza had no such luxury. You can understand where the desperation comes from while also appreciating that it does nothing good to anyone, least of all the civilians in the Gaza Strip currently thirsting under rocket fire and a cloud of white phosphor. The only one it helped in the end are the Israeli far right who want an excuse to "complete the borders" of Israel.
Those are certainly words.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Israel slaughters Palestinian civilians on any given day, so Hamas slaughtering civilians on any given day is a-okay?
This isn't mounting a resistance. It's shooting up a daycare because you were bullied in school. And now the daycare is carpet bombing the school in retaliation.
IT'S ALL FUCKED UP
I agree, but it's hard to ignore that Israel has been illegally removing civilians from their homes and sending their own civilians to occupy the land.
There's no good outcome here, because neither group can budge when they both believe their literal survival is at stake.
That would fly if Israel a) hadn't been targeting civilians for 40 years and b) didn't respond by targeting civilians.
You really need to shut your fucking mouth when you clearly have no fucking clue what happened literally this week.
That's an awful analogy - go watch Clerks if you want the full explanation but the Death Star was a military installment... Hamas has intentional attacked civilians but I must have missed the part of Star Wars where Admiral Ackbar carpet bombed Coruscant.
Both parties in this war are guilty of finding civilian casualties perfectly acceptable and have intentionally attacked non-military targets.
To keep the analogy going, they would have to have raped and beheaded the occupants of the death star before actually blowing them up...and the Death Star would have to have been an Imperial tourist destination with not just Imperial citizens, but also visiting citizens from all across the galaxy..but if that's what George Lucas had filmed, I think there would have been a lot less sympathy for the rebels.
First time I have heard claims that Hamas had dicks out at the music festival.
Well then you're blissfully ignorant of the recent news.
