Hamas shouldn't store weapons near civilian areas. They should also release the hostages and surrender.
I don't think you're being downvoted because anyone disagrees with you. Of course the terrorist organization should stop terrorizing people. But your comment really comes across as apologizing for the civilian deaths.
"You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
I'm not apologizing for anything. The 'enlightened' leftists and college 'protestors' need to realize a cold hard fact. When you hide your forces among civilians and use them as human shields to protect military installations (ammo dump, command center, launchers, etc), in effect deliberately maximizing your own civilian casualties to dissuade attacks, you are not only committing a war crime, but you are forfeiting the protections of those civilians under international law, and those installations remain a valid military target in the eyes of the law.
So by Hamas operating out of schools, mosques, refugee camps, hospitals, and other civilian areas, they are the ones responsible for those civilian deaths, because they are putting civilians in harms way.
What are you talking about? No one is defending Hamas.
The civilians do not belong to Hamas. What exactly do you mean by "your own civilian casualties?"
No. Whoever killed the innocent people is responsible.
Okay Genocide justifier.
You do realize this logic is the same as if someone from a different household punches you, it gives you the moral right to shoot someone else from that same household in the head, right?
Finally, this blind allegiance to a morally wrong actor is going to make the rest of the world treat Israelis as the world treated Apartheid South Africans. I hope you enjoy being ostracized.
To add to this, Hamas has agreed to release the hostages several times. However Israel won’t agree to a ceasefire, and so the hostages haven’t been released.
Israel doesn’t want the hostages released, because then they can’t use the hostages as justification for their genocide.
false equivalence
[ fawls i-kwiv-uh-luhns ] Phonetic (Standard) IPA noun
Claiming something is a false equivalence doesn't make it so. You want to make a claim like that, you have to justify it.
But I know you won't, because you're happy with the charred corpses of babies.
