War is horrible and the granparents of today’s Palestinians were unjustly hunted and hurt.
But if Hamas had not gone on slaughter spree on civilians and their fighters would not be hiding behind their their own kids and women to protect themselves from retaliation, maybe the fight would take place strictly between combatants or even better, on the social media and internet to show what’s wrong.
And no, it doesn’t matter whether kid is EU, Arabian or any other looking. When there was earthquake not long ago, everyone was sympathetic with middle east looking kids being pulled out of debris.
The “human shields” reasoning has been circulating for at least a decade. “Look, we had to kill the civilians, the militants were hiding behind them!” I don’t know on what planet that reasoning is supposed to be acceptable.
War or killing is never acceptable. Unfortunately in this case it seems less of the two evils due to Hammas making sure everyone can see what atrocities they are capable off instead of showing world what Palestinians hardship is like.
Why are so many people willing to believe “Hamas uses human shields” without even a shred of evidence? How is acceptable to keep funding and arming Israel when there is no accountability for how they use those weapons?
Can you prove they are not? Like where in the Gaza is their military base e.g. ? If they aren’t mixed in Civilian where the hell are they? Also acts like murdering kids don’t really add them any credibility. To me it looks rather that their fighting tactics is trying to exploit the fact that enemy is not so willing to shoot at civilians as they are to shoot combatants.
That’s not how this works dawg. You can’t commit war crimes and expect everyone to be cool with it if you’re not providing evidence to back your claims of “they took human shields, there’s nothing we could do”
If they’re not mixed in Civilian where the hell are they?
If they don’t know where Hamas is, if they don’t have evidence, then what is the plan? To level all of Palestine?
Remember when the US thought Iraq had WMDs? Woulda been nice if we like… had evidence first right? Coulda saved a lot of money and lives, no?
the enemy is not so willing to shoot civilians
Wtf are you talking about? You’re literally spreading the propaganda that has allowed Israel to kill 36x as many children as Palestinians have killed
They took the hostages and killed tons of people , it’s all over security cameras, there are witnesses, people from German and other countries recognized those hostages as their family member. Hammas posted video of dealing with those hostages. Hostages are women, kids and men.
Are you saying that is not hiding behind the kids and women? I have tons of proofs to believe they do this.
You got only “Nana they are actually good people”
So that it actually how this not works… That’s why I gave you opportunity to present evidence that Hammas is not lowest scam in the region. You presented nothing.
To be clear, I also think Hamas took hostages. I just don’t think most people consider that “being a human shield” unless there is imminent danger to the hostage taker.
You got only “Nana they are actually good people”
You realize that you can’t prove a negative empirically?
I’ll prove Hamas isn’t using human shields when you prove the tooth fairy don’t exist.
in other words, you got nothing to prove your OP, so you play it into corner, so to speak. You started with claim that is against existing evidence and when challenged you can’t prove the evidence wrong.
BTW taking civilian hostages is very well definition of human shield. That’s the whole point of hostages. Your terrorists friends use them as meat shield, so their oponent is forced into dilema, either risk loosing their people or to give in. Bank robbers, airplane highjackers, etc… use this all the time.
You might be confusing it with taking enemy combatants into jail to prevent them fighting in war. But even those are not paraded trough streets, naked, half-dead/ dead, with dislocated limbs, on truck, while being spitted on.
There’s been an earthquake just a few days ago in Afghanistan, Pakistan etc, killing more than 2000 people, and by your comment I can see you don’t even know about it.
And I was arguing against Hamas immediately after it happened, but now I’m arguing against Israel because the original comment is right, they have now adjusted all their propaganda tools to use the events to justify ethnic cleansing with lots of civilian dead right now.
Gazan women and children are not responsible for “their fighters” or Hamas, just as Israeli women and children are not responsible for bombs falling on Gaza.
I’m disgusted with both, but proportionally to their strength.
You missed my point or are trying to twist it.
I have not said that world is informed about everything that happens everywhere all the time. I have said that people feel sad for any hurt kid regardless of colour of their skin and I gave an example which you totally ignored. I could very well blame you for bad things happening to the kids in Mexico or Latin America in general if you aren’t informed about that but that would be stupid wouldn’t it?
The feel sad on different levels. For some kinds of sad billions of military aid are warranted, and for other kinds of sad thoughts and prayers, and there are even situations of “sad, but they had it coming”.
You forgot to mention that in some places if you come with aid your lifeless body gets paraded half naked through the streets on pickup truck and spitted on or mutilated on spot.
You also forgot to mention that while EU people feel sorry for suffering of all kids. Some places you talk about celebrate death of every caucasian looking kid as new year event.
It might be one of the reason why some place don’t get e.g. international humanitarian help.
And Germans caused WW2 that had mutliple times higher dead count than all Palestinians together. Yet I don’t see countries like Polland going terrorist against German civilians. The way you think is best, (kill as many children as brutal as possible) will only lead to more casaulties but it won’t make life any better for Palestina’s civilians.

Its 2023, we catch the American government trying to cover this shit up all the time https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/18/us/airstrikes-pentagon-records-civilian-deaths.html

They could be part of IDF as military service is mandatory for every israeli whatever the gender (~3y for men and 2y for women).
so don’t speak in term of gender but in term of class.
Strictly speaking, there are very few women in the combat units of the IDF.
But yes, you understood me correctly. I meant civilians.
You missed my point or are trying to twist it.

Yeah, only there’s no correlation at all usually between this and my comment.
It does, think about it.
Israel has killed 22x more Palestinians than Isralies have died from all pro-Palestine groups https://www.ochaopt.org/data/casualties
And Germans caused WW2 that had mutliple times higher dead count than all Palestinians together. Yet I don’t see countries like Polland going terrorist against German civilians. The way you think is best, (kill as many children as brutal as possible) will only lead to more casaulties but it won’t make life any better for Palestina’s civilians.
