So is there a linux circlejerk? Cause you’re just ridiculous with your tribalist shit…

It would be on brand for Stewart, but these last two weeks have thought me one thing: wait for confirmation and watch the development before reacting

You know very well it’s the only army in the world that issues evacuation order to its bombing targets, losing an insane amount of tactical advantage. That’s not what indiscriminate bombing looks like. Check vietnam war footages.

The situation is fucked up from both sides, yes Bibi is a palestinian hating monster. All those things can be true at the same time.

The apartheid accusation is solid, nothing to say here.

But ethnic cleansing?

There are 2 million arab israeli citizens… not very homogenous. That’s almost 1 in 5 citizens.

People have no idea… they should look at the vietnam war and see what indiscriminate bombing looks like…

Just stop using it…

True, they (israel government) fucked up the place, in so many ways. They’re not the only actors, but they’re the ones with most power and possibilities.

They are still effing up, because we’re talking about men of war with stupidly large guns, afraid (with good reason) for their whole people, who maybe know victims, know a hostage… everybody knows what happens when warriors are mad… so why the fuck poke that bear?

There’s no good move. If israel doesn’t react, hamas will attack again, because hamas wants to exterminate every jew, not peace. If they react, they have to take out civilians because hamas uses them as human shields. And now with all that rage, the most racists and extremists from each side will have a chance to assuage their bloodlust.

Hamas have ruined Gaza’s future in a way that, in almost 3 decades of following this conflict, I never thought would be possible. And the racists in Israels government are living their wet dream.

Sorry, I get your point. It’s getting late here, I got carried away. You are right, it’s a tactically valid choice, but I really hope I’d kill myself before I do something like that, but life can fuck you up real bad so who knows…

Who gives a fuck if it’s combat effective when it kills your people? If you’re not fighting for the lives of your people? What are you fighting for? In the case of Hamas, the answer is in their charter: kill all jews. They admit it themselves ffs.

So because the situation is too risky, better hide behind your people? Of course not! Human shields are never acceptable.

Just looked at the gaza satellite map to be sure. There are kms of fields between the border and most cities. They’re cowards hiding behind their people.

That’s simply not true. If you hide ammunition, fighters amongst civilians, to use the as meat shield or their deaths as propaganda, they become collateral damage.

It’s horrible, but Hamas is counting on this! They could avoid this, by not hiding behind their own people.

Targeting civilians specificaly is a war crime.

EDIT: please, do explain how it’s ok to hide behind civilians… sorry, this doesn’t help

I suppose it can interpreted both ways. I know it’s 196 so I was just digging in without to much thought

Oh yeah, great time to promote religion, so peaceful

That’s not the only way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh I’m definitely stealing this my dear. That’s gold

Lol, that’s just bad propaganda

Early in da mornin‘ Argh

What shall we do with a drunken sailor?

Can’t stress this enough
