    Palestine doesn’t have an army, a navy, or an air force.

    But, enjoy all the excuses you will undoubtedly see in this thread from genocide Israeli apologists.

    Hell, Palestinians can’t even go to a designated aid station for food without getting massacred by Israel.

    But it’s not just Israel/Palestine. War has always been like this.

      I don’t know if there has ever been this level of discrepancy between availability vs access to aid in a conflict. There’s lots of aid available, but Gaza has zero access to it.

        It’s a manufactured famine, which is a war crime. (Not to mention murdering civilians at will when they try to obtain aid.)

        But try telling that to an Israel apologist.

    Because Hamas then wouldn’t stand a chance and prefers to use the civillians as a tactical asset to increase their odds, which is asshole-behaviour.
    And because the Israelis decided to don’t care about this civilians any more, which is also asshole behaviour.

    So, in short: because both are assholes.

      They do care, they care because they want to kill as many civilians as possible. That’s why they kept repeatedly bombing the “safe” routes/zones the IDF themselves designated for evacuation dozens of times.

        LOL, telling people to evacuate when there’s no real infrastructure to do so… does not absolve them for committing a genocide.

        I could sail out to the middle of the ocean, put you on a rowboat, and tell you that you’re free to go “safely” and it’s still going to be my fault when your ass drowns.

        That’s even more true when you’re creating a famine on purpose, because people can’t exactly evacuate if they’re starving.

          does not absolve them for committing a genocide.

          I wasn’t suggesting it did. I’m saying they handpicked the “safe” spaces, then bombed those same spaces, proving the civilian casualties are intentional and not accidental.

    Because that only makes sense if both sides are roughly the same size and strength. When one side is outnumbered and outgunned, it is better to hide and ambush.

        Wherever it may have been where their grandparents or parents came from. It’s a failed colonialist experiment that needs to come to an end.

    I don’t know if it would be correct to say that the civilians have nothing to do with the war. As far as I’m aware, the IDF’s intended target is all Palestinians, civilians included.

      When a majority of Israeli citizens are in support of what’s going on they are just as guilty as their government

      Hey IDF, why do you guys wear uniforms and operate openly and build military bases away from schools and hospitals? Curious. You know who else used to act like that? Hitler and the nazis.

        Two reasons: First, they actually have a military, generously funded by the US taxpayer. (And Palestine does not.) Second, you’re right, it’s so rude for Palestine to directly place their schools and hospitals in the path of American Israeli bombs.

          Violence is definitely also my first choice when people disagree with me, I’m glad we’re in agreement that this is a legitimate method for resolving differences that is followed by civilized people.

          Hamas is the elected and widely recognized government of Gaza, their armed forces are the military of that country and they deserve to be criticized for not adhering to established standards of behavior for military forces, just like the IDF is.

    Hamas was what Afghanistan/Osama Bin Laden was to the United States but Palestinians ended up being the Iraq end of the matter for Israel.

    Do the math.

    Because why would they put themselves in danger, when they can let others die for them?

    Why doesn’t Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don’t have anything to do with war?
