The IDF isnt a rogue organization, its the military arm of the elected Israeli government. Also Palestine hasn’t had an election since 2006 so 18 years ago. Notably older than all of the children the IDF is bombing, and hardly representative of the rest of Palestine.
This is not “normal war stuff.” The IDF has dropped more explosives in months than the US did in years in Iraq.
Gaza is one of the most intense civilian punishment campaigns in history,” said Pape. “It now sits comfortably in the top quartile of the most devastating bombing campaigns ever.
Guerilla warfare is the warfare of the poor. Terrorism is the intentional targeting of civilians. The fact that you’re apologizing for that by trying to equate it with war just reveals your depravity and immorality.
So killing civilians is deplorable? If you read with eyes unclouded, you’d see I haven’t defended anything of the like. I’m equating this ‘war’ with terrorism. What Israel continues to commit daily is terrorism of the same kind as October 7th, on a scale so much more vast they’re hard to compare.
Nah, they’re striking Hamas targets. They just don’t care too much about collateral casualties. Probably because of the radicalization from several decades of unending Arab aggression
Oct 7 changed my mind on this subject. I was all about calling Israelis aggressors and such before I realized just how depraved the Palestinian penchant for aggression was
Then we have two popular government organizations murdering civilians en mass - one much more well funded and more effective at slaughter than the other. The logic still must hold in reverse, no?
“propaganda is when someone disagrees with me, the arbiter of all truth” lol
Hamas isn’t a rogue organization, it’s the popular government of Gaza

Of course the IDF isn’t rogue. What they’re doing is normal war stuff. War is bad. Don’t start wars.
And opinion polls tell us they’d be reelected if there was one, so, doesn’t matter

Probably should ask Hamas to surrender, then.
Terrorism is the warfare of the poor. Warefare is the terrorism of the rich.

It’s very easy indeed to hit Hamas targets when everything is Hamas.
I really wish the person you were talking with hadn’t deleted all their replies…
Edit: looks like the replies were purged by a mod, my bad.
Man you sure aren’t addressing any of their points, are you? Just keep dodging the subject, I’m sure you’ll get away with it eventually…
Propaganda is when someone starts with a conclusion and stops thinking there.

Yes, it clearly has.
No good person could have possibly supported such an event, and yet, something like 90% of Gazans did. Really opened my eyes.
No good person could possibly be supporting such a genocide, and yet, you are. Really opened my eyes.
If and when there’s a genocide in Gaza I will oppose it.
How will you know it when you see it?
He’ll see it when the Israeli settlers start accidentally getting bombed.
