No. Your message is. A lot of people commit mortal sin of logical fallacy by extending the responsibility for actions of certain group of people to everyone sharing with them ethnicity or religion. It‘s the stupidity worth of the strongest condemnation given the context. It‘s not jews committing war crimes in Gaza, it‘s zionists. It‘s not muslims or Palestinians planning and executing terrorist attacks, it‘s religiou…

Zionism is the idea of self determination of Jews in their homeland. You separate Jews from zionists. How would you call the Palestinian self determination movement, would you separate it from the rest of the Palestinians? Would you call that group for committing war crimes?

Why does israel use expensive precise munitions wherever possible rather than their stockpiles of much more deadly "dumb" ones?

because it would be admitting to the world that it has said weapons. Israel has always said it doesn't have nuclear weapons. They would have absolutely zero sympathy going forward from any major nation if they decided to drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza, and they want that land so rendering that land uninhabitable might not be a good idea.

by dumb munitions I mean older bombs vs JDAM and alike.

Anyone who seriously speaks words 'nuclear weapon' and 'gaza' together is basically admitting he has 0 clue about the situation and is uninformed larper for either side.

If the only defense you can think up is that Hamas is worse, it's a bad sign.

It's not a defense, it's a constant reminder that one side is bad or worse. As someone who believes in modern values and society, I think it's very important to acknowledge all of the recent events.

If you care about the victims, you should also care about the victims at the music festival too. Because they're one and the same, innocent people who were murdered for stupid ideology.

I remember when folks here were shilling the "Israel promises they'd never bomb a hospital" and "Hamas is lying about the death toll" lines. All the hospitals are now rubble, and the IDF quietly let it slip that the death toll is legit recently. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2026-01-29/ty-article/.p... There's damning video of this specific incident, recovered from the dead. I suspect subsequent massacres made…

Gaza has been under a near-total naval blockade since 2007 (which is an act of war BTW). Any meaningful "reduction of tensions" would have included lifting that.

I don’t like it but it was a war. October 7 was a declaration of war. I heard almost no one complain about the “war on terror” and I’m sure similar collateral occurred. For some reason people forget the pearl harbour event that happened before it all kicked off ? Not trying to say it’s fine to bomb a hospital, but it doesn’t seem fair to single out the IDF. Do you whine about Hiroshima ?

> Do you whine about Hiroshima ? It's been awhile since I've been in high school, but even back then standard public education was to discuss the topic very respectfully and to question the mainstream narrative that "more lives were saved because of it".

The war on terror, it might have been criticized in hindsight, but let's not pretend it was unpopular at the beginning...

It's been awhile since I've been in high school, but even back then standard public education was to discuss the topic very respectfully and to question the mainstream narrative that "more lives were saved because of it". It's not uncommon for US High Schools recommend Barefoot Gen as a supplemental reading on the subject. Americans largely feel complicated about Hiroshima and absolutely do not view strong critique of it as "whining".

So yeah, I'm sure many people in Israel have a complicated view of the events that happened post October 7 too. Yet people will mostly ignore all of that and go completely out of their way to criticize basically everything Israel has done.

I'm quite partial to it all, I just hate the hypocrisy.

How often does Hamas pull the "we didn't mean it!" card for their attacks on Israel? Have they ever ? Of course they mean it, they're a bunch of assholes.

Good thing one can be anti genocide without being pro hamas

That is an obvious lie, but also, even if it were true, who cares? It doesn't really matter what the UN thinks about anything.

Israel killed UK army veterans, it was a targeted operation and a precision strike to send a message.

It was covered by UK media for a short period and they would gloss over the veterans and focus more broadly on WCK, there is lots of examples of UK media weird coverage like this which no doubt was intentional. It was also barely spoken about by UK politicians

RIP John Chapman, James Henderson, and James Kirby.
