I'm sorry, but whose currently suffering on the Israeli side? Because Gaza is literally starving. And the Aid trucks are idling at the border with food that the IDF refuses to let through.
Possibly the families of some of the people killed by Hamas. I bet they’re suffering.
Yeah I bet their friends are doing things like bringing them food to help and their jobs are giving them extra time off or something.
Yes, that is generally part of grieving.
Both of which are things the families of 27,000 Gazans cannot do right now. They have no jobs, no food, and there's a good chance their friends are dead too.
The calculus changes when everything from ambulances to children could be actual, literal bombs.
Edit: oh and, Israel isn’t the only country that borders Gaza.
That's a really weird way to say, "I'll kill any Palestinian that moves, even the cattle, because I can't even bother viewing them as human beings".
Would it be acceptable if someone shot an Israeli ambulance, saying, "well, you never know these days, these ambulances are full of IDF ready to attack!"?
Nope, and neither should the opposite.
Nope. No you don't get to go down that road. We dealt with that uncertainty in Iraq without causing a massive famine or using 2,000 pound bombs. There are no excuses for genocide, and certainly not victim blaming.
It sounds like you’re saying if Jihadists use ambulances and children then there’s no defense. Just lay down and die.
Sounds like you're trying to lump every person in Gaza in with Hamas. Professional soldiers have procedures for those situations. Ones Israel isn't using.
I’m not.
I’m very clearly saying that when you’re fighting a group who straps bombs to kids, you have to consider that even those appearing to be regular civilians might be a threat.
Oh but you are. Because we've done this. We know how to deal with those problems without committing a genocide. The only reason to answer charges of genocide with , "but the kids might have weapons!" Is to blame the victims.
