Israel has a right to defend itself.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 70 points 1 year ago

I'm sure they have a right to throw garbage at random civilians

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago

Yeah, those dead babies were coming right at them.

[-] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

There were secret Hamas tunnels under those babies!

Anyone has a right to defend themselves. Yet there is a very fine line between self defense and aggression.

If you punch the lights out to some idiot that is threatning you, you're defending yourself.

If the other guy drops to the ground and you kick their teeth out and then go find their family to do the same to them, that is aggression.

You mean like the Palestinian violent attacks against Israeli settlers in Hebron? Or are those attacks justified?

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

What I stated goes both ways: none of the parts involved can justify their actions at this point, both have blood on their hands and there is no true interest in making amends and settling differences for the sake of sparing lives and creating peace.

Did the premature babies being kept alive with tin foil after the attack condem Hamas?

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Palestine has a right to defend itself.

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

I don't get the point of trotting out this old chestnut. Is anyone arguing that Israel does not have the right to defend itself?

No. The concern is the manner and proportionality of the defense. Both of which are barbaric and over the top.

Palestinian civilians do not, then?

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Israel is the agressor

Is it too late to say I forgot the /s?

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, not your fault. The sarcasm was quite obvious.

[-] ARk@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, it sounded like a typical comment from a closed-minded Israel supporter so yeah too late.
