The people killing human shields are just as shitty as the people using human shields. Both are terrorists.

Would be the best for the first asshole not to take human shields to begin with.

I'm sorry I can't hear you over a settlement being bulldozed. Wait a second for the bulldozers to stop.

Oh silly me...they don't stop.

Are you trying to justify using human shields?

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I literally never said that. Youre doing the bad faith thing.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Friend, I'masking you because I was baffled what your comment had to do with anything. I still am. Could you explain the relevancy?

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're not wrong, but that's not what's happening, and it's still not an excuse.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

but that's not what's happening

What do you mean?

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean we're in a situation where civilians are being used as human shields. It would be nice if we weren't, but that's not what's happening.

Because Hamas took human shields. They could have not taken them. But yes, it happened and it's not like it can be taken back now.

And it still doesn't justify IDF massacring thousands of Palestinians.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago

Well duh

[–] Infinitus@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can we stop using the word terrorist for something that it obviously not terrorism? Terrorist use terrorism to strike fear into the population of a more powerful state and hope for and overreaction that would play into their cards. I can only see one terrorist organization here. But, the IDF is that overreacting oppenent.

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're right. Starving out civilians and bombing their homes doesn't make IDF terrorists. It makes them war criminals.

[–] Infinitus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

That would be a much more correct term.
