“Yeah but women and girls will give birth to terrorists, and boys will become terrorists. These are just preemptive-preemptive strikes… Historians may call this genocide but we disagree semantically”. - Israeli government probably
Actually responsibility of civilian deaths are on those who use civilians as human shields
I don’t get that mindset. Why is it ok to shoot through people to get to the bad guys?
If the police did that when criminals took hostages it wouldn’t be acceptable so why is it acceptable for Israel?
It is a talking point meant to engage you and waste your time, it doesn’t have to make sense. This is conservative playbook 101.
It is a demonstration of good faith vs bad faith. If only you explain it to the person properly then they will change their mind? Nope. They’re just energy/effort vampires trying to exhaust you.
But they are taking precautions, you guys act like they are doing it deliberately without precautions
The Hutu’s used the term “cockroaches” to dehumanize. The Nazi’s used “rats”. But at least those are living creatures. But “a shield”, calling a human being a shield, as if they’re an inanimate object meant to be struck, as if they’re a nuisance that you’re meant to get through to hit your target? Calling these civilians “human shields” is a new low for dehumanizing language, and Israel defenders don’t realize what kind of monster everyone else sees them as. So wild that it’s considered acceptable language by mainstream culture, fucking terrifying.
It’s considered acceptable language by mainstream culture because it’s a legitimate interpretation of reality.
It’s not reasonable to say Jews are literally rats. It is a reasonable to say civilian Gazans are used as a shield by Hamas. What is dehumanizing, sometime literally, is using people as shields.
So the responsibility is on the IDF, then.
As the IDF has done. So you’re saying that the IDF is a terrorist org, right? Right??
I say it. Yes it is! If it commits terrorism to attack his enemies then yes it’s a terrorist org.
All religious ethnic based terrorist orgs have their reason, they all believe they are doing the right thing. In the case of religious based they all believe to be the children’s of god and His favourite people.
What makes it a terrorist org isn’t reason or right or wrong sides, what makes it terrorist is the way it attacks it’s enemies to achieve their goals.
So hell yes they are terrorists because of they have done.
