Somehow it’s considered monstrous to brutally slaughter 1000 Israelis by hand, but OK to murder and starve an order of magnitude (or two) more Gazan civilians using industrialized warfare.
I guess if you’re a drone operator with no strong feelings about the murder you’re committing, then it’s totally ethical to do whatever you want as long as some Hamas get hit. What a fantastic cheat code!

- archagon 2y agoI’m only pointing out the cruel hypocrisy that a missile blowing up a hospital is somehow considered more ethical than a slit throat.
- breppp 2y agoWhen going house to house in a town and murdering everyone inside your goal is murdering civilians When bombing a military target and hitting civilians around him, your goal is the military target This is both different from an international law as well as a moral standpoint
- Sabinus 2y agoIntentions matter. Bombing a hospital with terrorists operating out of it is a very different act to deliberately and directly targeting civilians for murder and hostage taking.
- GordonS 2y agoTrue... but where were the terrorists? Where was the evidence? Apart from the ludicrous 3D animation that was created before Israel destroyed the first hospital, I haven't seen so much as a shred of credible evidence. Oh, apart from the Arabic calendar that was totally a list of hostages. Nobody seriously believes that every single hospital in Gaza was a hotbed of terrorist activity, especially without evidence. What we have seen, is the IDF illegally setup bases of operation in Gazan hospitals though!
- GordonS 2y agoYep, and even then, the IDF likely killed many of those killed on Oct 7th. We'll never know exactly how many, since Israel wouldn't allow an investigation.
