So when Hamas guns down Israeli civilians that are not next to military targets it's justified and actually the fault of the jews, and when Israel strikes Hamas military targets that are deliberately placed next to their own civilians it's never justified and the jews hould hang?

Very cool.

There really is no way to bomb hospitals and then blame the hospital for being a human shield when it was your bomb that murdered those children.

What do you realistically expect armies to do when their opponents place all their military assets next to civilian targets? Just give up and kill themselves?

Those are the only two options I guess, indiscriminately murder civilians and blow up hospitals or suicide.

That's obviously the only option out there.

You're the only person saying " the Jews should hang" I'm saying people who commit war crimes should go to the place where the world has decided to try war criminals and then they should punish them like we have punished war criminals in the past.

We hung Nazis we should hang Netanyahu, they're the same fucking thing.

The fact that he's saying "the jews" and not "Jewish people" at all is a huge red flag. Huge racist tone.

Feel free to share your operational plan for how the Israelis should proceed, I'm sure it will be very realistic and grounded in military reality.

So you're obviously also saying that Hamas should be hung from the neck until dead.

Attacking a hospital containing active enemy combatants is not a war crime. Garrisoning troops in a hospital is a war crime. Not making necessary precautions to move civilians away from the combat area is also a war crime.

Deliberately harming civilians is a war crime. Harming civilians by accident or as a byproduct of necessary military action is not a war crime.

Lol are you fucking stupid? Necessary to murder civilians? You hamas supporting psychopath.

[–] xzite@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I feel like you either don't understand what I wrote or deliberately misunderstood it.

Feel free to ask if you need help understanding what I wrote.

[–] Caradoc879@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I fully understood that you think civilians in a hospital going bombed is acceptable collateral damage. And I think you're scum for that.

[–] xzite@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's great. What do you think the Israelis should do?

[–] Caradoc879@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well I'm not a military strategist, I'm just a dude that knows wrong when I see wrong. Do I have to have good solutions for climate change and homelessness and drug addiction and wealth inequality and world hunger in order to comment on those, too?

No, but you should either have a more realistic stance than "if one single bad thing happens as a result of it then I don't think we should do it." or stop providing your opinion on the topic.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Whoa whoa whoa. That's some hell of a leap in logic. No to your entire comment.

[–] xzite@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

So how do you deal with opponents deliberately putting their military infrastructure next to civilian targets?

[–] Caradoc879@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You're refusing to separate a genocidal israeli government from the race of Jewish people. You are arguing in bad faith and are yourself a piece of shit. Good day.

[–] xzite@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Your performative outrage is pretty funny.

In another comment from you I'm a Hamas supporter.

Lol are you fucking stupid? Necessary to murder civilians? You hamas supporting psychopath.

Funnily enough, all of this is in response to someone saying that the Israeli government sacrificed someone's family after they were murdered, which you apparently don't have any problem with.

[–] Caradoc879@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I have a problem with both sides. That's the only acceptable position. Hamas is a terrorist organization that uses civilians as Shields, and Isreal is a genocidal regime bent on literally wiping Palestinians off the face of the earth. Both sides suck. Why are we fighting over which turd is bigger when we need to clean it all up?

[–] xzite@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I have a problem with both sides.

The most important thing is that you can attack everybody and feel superior to them all.

Why are we fighting over which turd is bigger when we need to clean it all up?

I'm not fighting for either side, I'm just disagreeing with the assertion that the concert goers who were murdered by Hamas were "sacrificed by Israel".

[–] Caradoc879@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Kinda hard to not feel superior to terrorists and genocidal governments though.
