That’s how the world works and always has worked, children inherit their situation from their parents. Let’s not pretend it doesn’t. I need not like it to acknowledge it.
It sounds like your condoning punishing children for the actions of their parents.
The actions of Hamas are unconscionable and evil, but if you claim Israel is justified in punishing a million children for an election that took place before they were born then it sounds like you are accidentally justifying the actions of Hamas too.
It sounds like you’re justifying genocide as a response to genocide.
It sounds like your condoning punishing children for the actions of their parents.
No, I’m saying terrorists can’t operate with impunity because they hide behind children. Punishing children is not the point of military retaliation against Hamas, and the fact that children exist in Gaza does not justify letting systemic murder of civilians go unpunished.
Sometimes minimizing deaths and maintaining public safety means deterring violence with violence, even if collateral damage may occur.
Just so you’re aware, you’re saying that Isreal is allowed to target children because hamas targeted children. Did you trace it back to the very first child death or did you start your tally this week?
No I am not. Israel is not targeting non-combatant children. Sometimes people who are not the intended target get hit anyway, that’s called collateral damage. I guess hiding behind children thereby ensuring they get killed garners sympathy for their cause with you. This perspective encourages them to keep doing it.
If someone is using a human shield you don’t shoot the human shield. I’m not sympathetic for hamas, I’m sympathetic for their human shields. You keep dancing around saying it explicitly but you’re backing up the fact that you’re okay with Israel killing children as long as they intend to kill insurgents. That’s terrorist shit and makes the idf just as bad as hamas.
