They very much do hide among civilians. The tunnels are for transporting weapons, contraband, supplies, kidnapped hostages, moving people that the IDF is looking for. But otherwise they do hide among civilians, they fire rockets and shoot at IDF from inside residential areas, from inside refugee camps, hospitals and schools, they wear civilian clothing, and so on. There are mountains of evidence showing this. |
+1 It's absolutely astounding that anyone would claim otherwise. Hamas uses their people as human shields, so that when IDF retaliates, Hamas can point to gruesome images of Palestinians being wounded or killed and gain sympathy - from idiots. Because idiots are the only people who actually believe them. |
So then you feel the same way about billions of U.S. dollars going to Central America, or being used here in the U.S. on illegal immigrants' education and health care - right? Beyond obscene. DP |
Of course this poster doesn't feel the same way. Because he/she is an antisemite and it's trendy to hate on Israel right now. There's nothing else to do now that no one cares about BLM etc anymore. |
This is a bogus whataboutism argument, considering that even if we didn't give Israel a single penny you'd still refuse to instead spend it domestically to help those people Americans who can barely make ends meet. Performative outrage. You guys do this all the time. |
So it looks like the poster you are responding to agrees with you— Israeli citizenship is not readily available to Palestinians resident in the West Bank and Gaza. You may disagree about why but that’s the fact…. |
Except members of the current Israeli government, you mean? Ben Gvir has called for the expulsion of Arab citizens of Israel before. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/15/1142813395/israel-benjamin-netanyahu-government (And before you say he’s fringe— he’s in the governing cabinet right now.) |
Riiiiight bruh. Just like Israel claimed there was a Hamas “command center” in Al Shifa hospital. Their evidence was so weak that it became the laughingstock of the internet. Then the Washington Post did a huge investigation/expose saying there was no evidence of a command center there after all!! The only idiots I see (well, more so sociopathic racists) are the ones who believe that the murder of over 20,000 Palestinians in less than 3 months is accidental. |
If you can justify bombing civilians because a Hamas soldier bought bread from a bakery and picked up his nephew from a school once, you can justify killing anyone anywhere. I bet we’ve all had arms lengths encounters with some unsavory militant group—even if all we did was buy something at a big department store. |
If you believe that Hamas uses civilians as human shields, it’s fair to assume that not all those civilians have a say in this, yet Israel treats them as collateral damage and indiscriminately murders civilians regardless of whether Hamas is using them as shields at the moment. These are war crimes and the filthy Israelis responsible for them should be captured, tried internationally, and punished accordingly. |
Bingo. It’s intentional slaughter by a bunch of perverted sadists with no respect for the lives of anyone who isn’t also Jewish. |
Nah. It’s war. Horrible and messy, just like all of them. |
You should go hunt them down. You sound like you know what you’re talking about. |
The Pope has condemned Israel’s “terrorism” and unjustified attacks on civilians in Gaza. Israel is now a global pariah, and justifiably so. Its leadership and military are below contempt. |
Well, I agree that Israel’s political leadership is contemptible. Same is true of Palestinians. Plenty of dirtbags on both sides. Palestinians really should have taken one of their 46 chances at having a state if their own. Complete idiocy. |
