    Hamas is literally in this video firing missiles. The people on this site including yourself have your heads in the sand.

      Yes they are. So kill them then without leveling the entire neighborhood, as I already said.

        Go for it. If it is so easy you are welcome to go put yourself in harm’s way. Don’t criticize when you have not been faced with the decisions and a lack of full awareness. Hamas is not sitting out in the middle of a field waiting to be struck.

          It is neither my place, nor my responsibility to physically take part in this conflict. However, it certainly IS my place and responsibility, as a human being, to say that purposefully killing innocent civilians and blowing up functional hospitals is evil. Yes, even when there is a bad guy hiding inside.

            War is evil. Nothing they are doing is without military purpose. This is a justified conflict. Your perspective is naive and not based in reality and/or military law. Israel did everything they could to avoid this conflict, most of which has been misconstrued as genocide against Palestine.

        Okay genius, how do you kill them when they are in tunnels under neighborhoods? You cannot get into them without an explosion, even if present in person and they won’t just sit there either. This is not a war crime and I’m really questioning everyone’s collective intelligence and ability to think through problems instead of reacting to stimulus.

          You don’t have to shoot missiles indiscriminately into civilian zones. If your enemy is hiding among civilian infrastructure and/or using human shields, you need to change your tactics up to suit. Committing war crimes in order to kill your enemy isn’t how you retain the moral highground.

            I’m still waiting on these tactics you are recommending. Alternatives don’t exist so your argument is absolute bullshit. The faster they can get through this, the less overall civilian suffering will occur.

                What war crimes? There is a difference between war and war crimes and hardly anybody on this site knows the difference.

                  This site?

                  The perfectly homogenous lemmy?

                  I’m talking about intentionally targeting civilian population which is a defined war crime.

                  How do you figure it is not?

                    Good luck providing proof of intent. That should be a red flag right there about your narrative. Israel’s narrative has never been that they are targeting civilians and they’ve shown on quite a few occasions in this current conflict that they have justification for their targets. They are at war right now. They don’t have time to justify every single target to you personally.
