    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.

      Of course the IDF isn’t rogue. What they’re doing is normal war stuff. War is bad. Don’t start wars.

      Also Palestine hasn’t had an election since 2006 so 18 years ago

      And opinion polls tell us they’d be reelected if there was one, so, doesn’t matter

          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

                  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.
