Bodies of Israeli residents and Palestinian militants lay outside of burned-out homes in the Israeli kibbutz Kfar Aza on Tuesday, days after Hamas launched a large-scale surprise assault on Israel, sending heavily armed fighters pouring across the border from Gaza and rampaging through rural communities.
still a drop in the ocean of dead palestinian children.
I agree that comparatively the dead children scales are undoubtedly on the side of the Palestinians. But that does not make this ok. Any eye for an eye and all that. This is disgusting, my support for the Palestinians is unwavering but I am disgusted in their representatives that support and commit this.
It is not ok and should not be accepted, I didn’t defend it when it was Palestinian children and I won’t downplay it now when it is Israelis.
nobody said it was.
im so sick of this attitude
You’re the one who opened with a comparison.
Plenty of people are actually, you’re not and I didn’t say you are. I support Palestine and have done for my whole grown life, this was not a black or white comment.
I got banned the other day for saying zionists reap what they sow. No, I don’t support hamas, but apparently that’s implied for having an anti zionist perspective lol
Right wing, theocracy is bad regardless of what religion it is. I wish people would stop letting them hide behind anti-Semitism.
you need the dead kids to be on a specific team before caring?
No, but the Israel supporters sure seem to.
I was listening to MSNBC the other day and they were rightfully reporting that a lot of the prisoner exchange is going on our right now or for women and children because Israel too also imprisoned children.
We’ve got to stop back and like get real some good actor here. They can both suck you know
have you considered responding to instances of that happening, instead of downplaying the butchering or children because someone reported on said butchering
That’s exactly the point. Nobody in the media or here on Lemmy or in any of the other outlets in general even cared when it happened. So instead we’ve created an environment where people have ignored one situation and are responding to another and it completely strips the entire conversation of the context that’s required to understand it.
It’s like a routinely and sadistically bullied individual going into a school and shooting up the place. It’s deplorable, it’s unethical, but the context needs to be there for any honest conversation.
How is anyone supposed to solve this mess if we’re not willing to look at root causes and original feelings from which this violence occurs?
i dont have a problem with adding context, i have a problem with downplaying the butchering of children
im assuming this is hyperbolic, if you actually never saw any sympathy for palestinians or mention of israels crimes on lemmy id be shocked
even reddit regularly saw highly upvoted threads about israels borderline if not outright genocidal practices
CNN, the organisation this article is from, has been reporting on it regularly
Nobody even looks until the bullied kid has enough and decks the bully right in his fat, hypernationalist mouth, then the adults all freak out protecting the bully and the “aggressor” gets punished.
Let’s not pretend the world is any different than a high school.
its immensely depressing that the comparison of murdered children to a fat hypernarionalist getting decked made it all the way from your brain to your mouth without hitting a single hurdle
This is more like the bullied kid going on to shoot up a daycare that the bully’s mom/dad works at and killing indiscriminately.
If you’re going to defend that kid because they were bullied, will you defend a survivor that brutally murders them in cold blood when they grow up? And every single person related to them?
The only people who think everything is like high school are those who never mentally left it. Or are still in it.
no, i care about them all. but if you are implying theres more israeli victims you are misinforming people. its literally the opposite and not even close
can you cite the specific sentence where they implied this?
i meant OP
im aware
It would be if it was true. It’s not.
Dead Palestinian children are also a result of Hamas. Full stop.
