    Gish gallop.

    Bottom line: Israel is a genocidal regime. Women, children, aid workers, reporters, Israel kills them all. The regime needs stopping. Now.

      Bottom line: In Gaza there are urban combat operations in a urban area against non-uniformed combatants. Despite this, the total number of casualties (both combatants and non combatants, the numbers aren’t broken down) are less than the casualties this year in Ukraine.

      Yes civilians die in war, especially when it’s being being fought in urban areas. This war is being fought in urban areas because that’s where Hamas is holding Israelis hostage in those areas. If you really cared about the toll on the civilian population you’d be calling on Hamas to release the hostages. But you aren’t because you don’t care about the civilian deaths for anything other than as a propaganda tool.

      You guys can preach these kinds of things to each other, but you aren’t fooling anyone outside of your little group. People aren’t listening to you because they don’t care about Palestinians. People do care about Palestinians. It’s just that everyone is catching on to the fact that YOU don’t actually care about Palestinians and you’re just using them as a tool in a campaign against Israel. Shameful.

        To use your same level of reductive reasoning, it’s a terrorism when Gazans fight in Israel, but a freedom when Israelis fight in Gaza. Why is that? 0_o
