    Yep, there is no context for this and heavy framing in the article. I agree with both of your Disclamers, but this is just propaganda.

      The context is the HD video footage of the IDF drone striking obvious unarmed civilians.

      Where’s the context showing these people were enemy combatants deserving a death sentence by drone strike? Do you always take the “guilty until proven innocent” line, or is this a race thing?

          By pointing to evidence to back my claim and asking for consistent standards and something vaguely resembling the rule of law?

          How do you propose we make the conversation better?

            You’re implying racism when there might be none in order to bolster your weak argument.

              By all means, tell me what their position is. Failing that, what’s the charitable assumption to make here?

              As far as I can see, the likely options are:

              • They support the genocide

              • They don’t care about the rule of law

              The former is more common in this context, but it’s both weird and worthless of you to insert yourself into the conversation to defend someone’s positions that (unless you can confidently answer this question) you don’t understand. Just like that, you’ve derailed the conversation into this irrelevant shit - what was your complaint again? Oh…

                You can’t see very far then.

                I don’t agree with your position, so you’re probably racist. Good day.
