Assuming for a second that you mean for this to apply to the event under discussion.
What you are implying is that Hamas was operating as a Warring Party, and treating civilians as combatants. Ergo they aren't terrorists by their own definition. Laws being subjective, selectively applied, and therefore meaningless in these situations.
Have it your way. Now Hamas has War. Moreover, it has insisted that civilains are combatants.
Lucky for the Palestinians, Israel is more moral than Hamas and will not operate in the same manner.
Frankly, counter to the apparent interests here of those here who are so offended by the terrorist label, Israel operating solely under terrorism law to bring Hamas to justice probably would have been better for the Palestinians. Though impossible.
But it's obvious that the actual motive here is to try to thread the impossible logic needle that says that Hamas should be left alone after 10/7 because of reasons. Which is a crazy fantasy.
- jakupovic 3y ago>Lucky for the Palestinians, Israel is more moral than Hamas and will not operate in the same manner. Why is this true? Because you say so?
- enterprise_cog 3y agoMurdering over 8000 civilians intentionally — over a thousand being children — is more moral than Hamas killing 1400 IDF soldiers, settlers, and some civilians? How’s that calculus work?
- Gud 3y agoThe number of deaths is not how to keep the tally on who is more moral and who isn’t. Hamas deliberately went out of their way to murder, mutilate and rape innocent civilians, while also hiding amongst their own civilians. Meanwhile, IDF are targeting Hamas and civilians are stuck in the crossfire. They have also developed advanced countermeasures to negate the effects of Hamas rocket artillery (the iron dome).
- enterprise_cog 3y agoWrong. Israel is bombing and shelling a dense urban area. There is no crossfire. It’s intentional fire and they seem the civilian losses as acceptable. Also what mutilation are you talking about? Lots of scare words there when Israel is mutilating children with high explosives right now, on purpose. Not to mention Israel is also bombing its own hostages, and they consider that acceptable too. They are not moral in any sense of the word.
- lots2learn 3y agoAlso worth pointing out there is no evidence of rape other than a statement by the IDF who are notoriously untrustworthy.
