Quite a few thousand killed by Israel, or are you claiming that's not true?

Quite a few thousand killed by Israel, or are you claiming that's not true?
- SilverElfin 1y agoI wouldn’t call those intentional. Collateral damage in a defensive war against terrorists who are hiding among civilians is different from intentionally seeking to kill children as your only objective.
- dotancohen 1y agoI agree that thousands of children have been killed in Gaza - by both Israel and Hamas. Trying to pin all of them on Israel only encourages Hamas to kill more.
- GoatInGrey 1y agoEven if Israel is definitively shown to be genocidal, what the hell do you do with that? Because the result of that determination is that you now have a conflict where both sides are genocidal against the other. How do you pick a side in that scenario without implicitly supporting genocide? Do you try to determine whether Palestinian lives are worth more or less than Israeli/Jewish lives, using your own arithmetic? Try to argue that some forms of genocide aren't really genocide when you "really think about it"? I think it's an impossible problem from an ethics perspective.
