Why are you insinuating if your argument is supposedly so damning? Just state it plainly.

To clarify,

- I'm under no confusion about what they're insinuating, that's not the point (see that below)

- I'm looking for their reply specifically

It's relatively easy to accuse, and to make up some story. It's a lot harder to provide substance and formulate a compelling argument.

Is the number of medical facilities really outstanding? Why does that suggest they're combatant hideouts? Which of them are, all? Why does them hiding combatants render double, triple, quadruple tapping, or even just targeting these facilities morally justified or reasonable? What sense does it even make to double, triple, quadruple tap in this context?

All pretty important questions I'd say, none of which are addressed by cowardly insinuations, I believe by design.

Last time I checked, my internal moral compass rated actually killing healthcare workers and the sick/injured/etc a lot worse than combatants using them as potential collateral (not that that'd be the pinnacle of morality). One would assume most other people's compass does too, hence why the above is news. How the paramedics that arrive afterwards become deserving of getting shelled, further remains an unelaborated-on mystery.

Ever wondered why Israel has disproportionate amount of settlers in the West Bank, a land that doesn't belong to them? I bet that makes them a legitimate target.

Are you sure? Here are some stats of settler attacks from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs:

    Year    Total Incidents   Daily Average
    2021    540               1 incident / day
    2022    852               2 incidents / day
    2023    1,189–1,291       3 incidents / day
    2024    1,420–1,449       4 incidents / day
    2025    1,828             5 incidents / day

You're using the term "terrorist" to describe people indigenous to the land that Israel stole. If you use logic, that makes Israel that terrorist group since they used violence to kick Palestinians out of their land and homes, not the other way around. Lookup the Jewish terrorist groups Irgu, Lehi, and Haganah. Lookup the assassination of Lord Moyne by Lehi and the 1946 Irgun bombing of the King David Hotel. The lead…

I need you to know that you're defending and justifying war crimes while blindly swallowing the propaganda of a genocidal regime.

Needless to say, it's not exactly making you look too good.

Can you name some of the instances you’re thinking of?

In all your comments, you keep referring to the resistance groups fighting the Israeli occupation as terrorists, which I’m guessing makes you either an Israeli or pro-Israel. The IOF has been notoriously lying about killing and torturing civilians. Not only that, but even soldiers caught red-handed on video raping prisoners have not only gotten away scot-free but also been allowed to rejoin the army. Is there a reaso…

I’m not sure if linking the video would violate HN rules, and I find it hard to believe that you haven’t at least heard about it. There is currently global outrage because the soldier in this video was acquitted and allowed to rejoin the army. The video was aired on Israeli TV and the IOF arrested the military official who authorized the leak.

I belive if you search for ‘Israeli soldiers gang rape prison’ you’ll find multiple links to it.
