I'm not sure it's possible to look at what Israel is doing and say it's not terror. So, charitably, I guess you're saying the IDF is not an organization?

  Is every country in the world wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designated_terrorist_groups https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designated_terrorist_g... doesn't have a single country that calls the IDF a terror organization.

    Countries are careful about calling other countries terror organisations. That's a weak argument. To convince me, you have to argue that their actions aren't terroristic. Usually, you can argue that a state's actions aren't "terrorism" because most definitions of "terrorism" involve the requirement that the action is illegal. But saying that the IDF is regularly committing war crimes isn't even controversial at this point. So what exactly separates their illegal actions intended to instil terror from all the other terror organizations?

        This response is deranged. Human rights organisation have been criticising Israel for its crimes for a long time, even before this massacre. Hell, just look at the list of UN resolutions condemning Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Nations_resolutions_concerning_Israel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Nations_resolut... The only correct thing in your comment is that Hamas is also bad. Please do research before spreading war crime apologia.

    Taiwan isnt a country too? Geopolitics leads to some crazy claims of truth. It couldn't be more clear that there is extreme pressure for states to support Israel, especially due to USA's position. Argument from authority is rightfully considered a logical fallacy

  Isn't causing "terror" a part of all wars? "Shock and awe" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_and_awe#Civilian_casualties_and_destruction_of_infrastructure https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_and_awe#Civilian_casua...

  It is possible. Now what? IDF is a real military with rules of engagement and target selection. If you say indiscriminate bombing, no this is not. WW2 and Korean War was.
  • mort96 3y ago
    If this isn't an example of indiscriminate bombing, that's only because Israel is explicitly targeting civilians.

  On this scale, isn't it rather genocide?
