Except its a LOT easier to get people to not go to the gym than it is to stop them watching TV and movies.

I think this is why Netflix keeps canceling shows. People stay subscribed for new things, but since their catalog is shit they aren't streaming much else.

I'm not sure that IDF snipers even know how to shoot anything that isn't a Palestinian civilian.

Bunch of morons just want Israel to stop murdering people.

So what’s the Alternative?

Not shooting children in the face. Is that REALLY hard for you to understand?

Hamas made the hospital into a legitimate target in a war by using it like that.

Oh? Is Hamas a legitimate state authority now? Doesn't that make the IDF actions a war crime then? I thought they were TERRORISTS which means that this is an enforcement response, not an invasion. You don't get it both ways. Either Hamas are the state of Palestine or they aren't, and they can't make anything a "legitimate target".

Can’t evacuate, can’t bomb, can’t go in on foot

They can leave...

Should Hamas be rewarded for using their most vulnerable civilians as a shield like this?

Weird argument given that the presence of civilians isn't slowing down the IDF at all. In fact they seem to have a ton of practice at killing civilians in Palestine. Not very good shields are they?

Since we are proposing questions here, I have one for you:

Where are civilians in Palestine supposed to go? You seem to think that its OK to slaughter them like pigs for going to a hospital. Where should the IDF NOT be allowed to butcher Palestinian children? Seriously, tell me one place that if an IDF bomb blows a bunch of people apart its a bad thing. Is there ONE SQUARE INCH of Gaza in which the IDF is not allowed to shoot a civilian in the face?

Just to be clear: your reasoning here is that if a murderer hides out in an American hospital its totally legitimate just to blow it the fuck up to get at him, right?

[-] UnspecificGravity@lemmings.world 2 points 10 months ago

Hospital based Hamas "command centers" are starting to feel like "al Qaeda second in command". Seems like they are magnetically attracted to ends of American ordinance.

Is Hamas not the slightest bit culpable for using a hospital to stage militant operations?

Sure, but the difference is that that the IDF is actively murdering with weapons that we are giving them.

Also, if Hamas is subject to the Geneva convention then they are a legitimate state authority. Are you sure you want to take that position? Because it means that literally everything that Israel is doing in Hamas is a war crime.

Yeah well, one can be anti-oppression and anti-apartheid as well as anti-terror, anti-killing-civilians, anti-bombing-hospitals, anti-using-civilians-as-shields, anti-hostage-taking and anti-warcrimes.

Sure, and if you are those things its going to be hard to get enthusiastic about voting for Biden.

You have pivoted your argument from "this government isn't actually representative of the will of the Israeli people" to "its dangerous to ignore how much more fascist this democratically elected leadership is than the past governments, which were literally made up of the same people." No shit, this government is dangerous, no one is arguing against that. It is ALSO the government that the people of Israeli have chosen, over and over and over again. Israel is a fascist right wing nation because they have chosen to be that.

The United States of America.

Someone else did a good job of demonstrating that these numbers aren't exaggerated:

It doesn't really make sense to characterize a prime minster that is entering his (approximately) 16th year in office as being some kind of aberration. If the US elected Trump for four non-consecutive terms as president, I think would be fair to characterize the US right wing as being the norm rather than an aberration. How many times does Israel have to put a fascist in charge before they get a share of the blame for what he does in office?

Its funny because memes like this actually kind of require you to believe in God to make sense. Jesus was either made up or some crazy person. He didn't die for our sins so I don't think it makes sense to be pissed off at him or a god that doesn't exist. These whole line of reasoning assumes a believe in god and Jesus and its a super weird fit for an athiest perspective.
