Nowhere did I said it's not morally justified. I said it's not self-defense. And it's not.
And you seem to be keen to pretend that Hezbollah is the only party here firing the rockets. Israel fired rockets into Lebanon for years too and murdered a lot of civilians. Killing fighters be it IDF, Hamas or Hezbollah is one thing, killing civilians is another. If you can somehow justify to yourself killing children, you are a monster.
You should inform yourself about them, here is one article for you, there are many more. https://www.biznews.com/rational-perspective/2024/04/01/debunking-al-jazeeras-coverage-woode-smith
The reuters link:
~~Literally counter batty fire.~~ sorry i missread the article, the article stated no reason, but according to other sources hezbolla has been operating from that area and them just firing Katyusha rockets in return (they are unguided and definitely aimed at civilians, like always) speaks for itself as well. Civilian casualtys are shit, but they do happen in war. Are we criticising Ukraine for having caused civilian casualtys? I don't think so and it would be absolutely asshole behavior because both countries defend themselves and their citizens from genocidal maniacs.
The apnews is about a strike that killed 2 people driving a motorcycle, there is no reason given, but apparently it was a security guard apparently, idk about the reasoning.
So... Do you even read your linked articles?
In the exchanges of fire (started on 7th. October)
Whats your point? Israel killes the people shooting rockets into Cities being bad? Shure there is collateral damage, but its a war, you cannot always pinpoint every strike and make shure that there is no civilian. Especially not in a asymmetrical war.
Oh and again, the "children" argument. Yeah no shit people die in war and as i stated earlier, hezbolla uses child soldiers just like hamas. What is your point?
Their coverage is biased, but it's factual. And the fact that you dismiss it just shows your own ignorance.
Your garbage article is probably the worst piece of writing I read this year.
So using children as soldiers is bad, but killing children is good. Yeah, there is nothing more to talk about with someone like you.
Category Grade Bias F (54%) Fallacy B- (81%) Misleading Info B (86%)
Very reliable source.
But as said, i didnt say there are no civilian casualtys, i literally quoted the official numbers, but those numbers are completely normal for a asymmetrical war.
And yes! Killing children is great/s where the fuck did you read that? That's the opposite of what i said.
The fact check link for my source isn't working correctly, the grade says F in everything but all the fact checks are true or mostly true, so tat is actually just a discredit for your fact check site... (errors can happen, the site is probably fine)
