The world has seen what Israel does when they’re attacked. They don’t get to set moral frameworks anymore.

- ta20240528 8mo agoAgreed. But that wasn't the OP's question.
- dotancohen 8mo agoWho in your opinion sets the moral framework for defending oneself against an enemy which has sworn genocide and proven capable of destroying entire peaceful villages along their borders?
- arbitrary_name 8mo agoyou're describing Israel here, right?
- dotancohen 8mo agoWhich village in Gaza do you consider to have been peaceful?

- dotancohen 8mo agoThe IDF did not starve civilians - that lie has already been disproven. I know that you'd love to repeat it until history records it, but by no objective measure was there famine nor starvation in Gaza. Other than the starvation of Hamas' hostages. The images of "starving children" were images of children with other medical conditions. The UN reports used a metric that considered starvation at HALF the threshold used in every other conflict zone, and even with that metric only found "evidence" in a single location once.
- ta20240528 8mo ago… but they did bomb apartment buildings in Tehran. I saw that with my own eyes. Stick to the challenge: what won't you accept? Nothing?
- dotancohen 8mo agoI accept the bombing of buildings which house those who have declared "Death to America, Death to Israel", and then have proceeded to bomb apartment buildings in Beit Shemesh.
- ta20240528 8mo agoThat's a war crime.
- dotancohen 8mo agoNo, that's just war.
- ta20240528 8mo agoFrom The United States Uniform Code of Military Justice: "Attacking civilians is unequivocally a war crime". https://ucmj.us/is-attacking-civilians-a-war-crime/ https://ucmj.us/is-attacking-civilians-a-war-crime/ @dang: you've banned members from this forum before for messy threads merely discussing apartheid. Surely advocating for war crimes — that the US itself considers crimes — is beyond the pale?
- JasonADrury 8mo agoThere are no peaceful villages in Israel, they exist only due to recent violence.
- dotancohen 8mo agoYou do not consider Kibbutz Beeri to have been a peaceful village bordering Gaza? Or you are just unfamiliar with the area? I challenge you to research Kibbutz Beeri and find a non-peaceful description of the village.
- JasonADrury 7mo agoIt's really hard to describe "11 points in the Negev" as peaceful. Kibbutz Beeri was created for the sole purpose of justifying a hostile land grab by a bunch of well-funded European immigrants.
