Or, you know, stop killing on both sides 🤷‍♂️

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago

Totally. Let's start by no longer giving billions of dollars worth of bombs to Israel and sanctioning them like Iran and Hamas.

Sure, you wanna call to tell them or should I?

[-] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

They both stopped answering my emails a while back

[-] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

So we should probably stop giving them bombs.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Who's giving bombs to both sides?

Sure, we just also have to figure out how to prevent Hamas from being given rockets.

[-] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

I'm pretty sure the US isn't giving them rockets so we're good on that.

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Well so long as Hamas is getting rockets, Israel needs them too. When you figure out how to stop rockets getting to Hamas, then we can talk about disarming Israel.

[-] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah i don't think that's a real argument.

Perhaps if we make a TikTok together asking them nicely to stop fighting. Maybe we could usher in a new era of peace with our thoughts and prayers.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

You're obviously being facetious, in response to my facetious comment so I'm not really sure what your angle is, but how do you actually propose to stop the killing on both sides?

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I don’t. I’m just making a joke. There’s nothing we can do. They don’t want to stop. Meanwhile a bunch of innocent people are dying. What do we do? Go in as a global collaborative and say “stop?” I mean, no governments are going to do that. It also sets an ugly precedent. Who decides what’s worth fighting for? The good guys or the bad guys? Everyone seems bad to me. I’m curious what the average Israeli civilian thinks of all this. They can’t agree, can they?

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

All of those Palestinian children are doing so much killing.

Jews are cool but Israel really sucks.

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 15 points 10 months ago

I accidentally got banned from a Lemmy community and I’m truly trying to be as reasonable as possible so this is some touchy stuff because it’s horrible & true — especially if one on your relative perished in the Oct 6 surprise attack at the concert. Please don’t ban me but some of us have relatives that were killed in the attack and so… it’s horrible and true.

[-] S_204@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I've been banned from some random communities for pointing out that people are fully supporting Hamas, or just being brutally Antisemitic. This vileness is everywhere you look right now.

You weren't accidentally banned. Just saying.

Hope you and your family are holding up okay. This is a shit time.

[-] rambaroo@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Yeah I'm sure you got banned for that and not your constant islamophobic, anti-Arab racist shit posting. Poor little victim

It's not self defense. Your relatives were sacrificed by the Israeli government to create a pretext to commit genocide against Palestinians.

Israel bombed hostages, hospitals, refugee camps, and buses full of children, If What Hamas did was terrorism then what Israel's doing is also terrorism.

There really is no way to bomb hospitals and then blame the hospital for being a human shield when it was your bomb that murdered those children.

In a just world there will be a reckoning for the government of Israel, and it involves sending a great deal of them to the Hague where they will hang until death.

[-] xzite@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

So when Hamas guns down Israeli civilians that are not next to military targets it's justified and actually the fault of the jews, and when Israel strikes Hamas military targets that are deliberately placed next to their own civilians it's never justified and the jews hould hang?

Very cool.

There really is no way to bomb hospitals and then blame the hospital for being a human shield when it was your bomb that murdered those children.

What do you realistically expect armies to do when their opponents place all their military assets next to civilian targets? Just give up and kill themselves?

[-] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Those are the only two options I guess, indiscriminately murder civilians and blow up hospitals or suicide.

That's obviously the only option out there.

You're the only person saying " the Jews should hang" I'm saying people who commit war crimes should go to the place where the world has decided to try war criminals and then they should punish them like we have punished war criminals in the past.

We hung Nazis we should hang Netanyahu, they're the same fucking thing.

[-] xzite@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Those are the only two options I guess, indiscriminately murder civilians and blow up hospitals or suicide.

Feel free to share your operational plan for how the Israelis should proceed, I'm sure it will be very realistic and grounded in military reality.

I’m saying people who commit war crimes should go to the place where the world has decided to try war criminals and then they should punish them like we have punished war criminals in the past.

So you're obviously also saying that Hamas should be hung from the neck until dead.

Attacking a hospital containing active enemy combatants is not a war crime. Garrisoning troops in a hospital is a war crime. Not making necessary precautions to move civilians away from the combat area is also a war crime.

Deliberately harming civilians is a war crime. Harming civilians by accident or as a byproduct of necessary military action is not a war crime.

Well, what's your solution?

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

The same solution to Apartheid in south Africa. Give the Palestinians the rights they deserve, stop oppressing them and Hamas magically disappears.

Also israel not funding Hamas could help. They surpress people and fund the organization that does armed resistance. Mhhh wonder why they got so many members.

[-] Kleinbonum@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago

There's just no guarantee for that specific outcome.

Look what happened with the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Nominally, the Taliban were fighting the Western oppressors. But when U.S. troops left, the Taliban didn't just magically disappear.

For that matter, look at Saudi Arabia or Iran or Qatar or Dubai or Abu Dhabi. They're essentially doing the exact same thing as the Taliban, just with a lot more money. No outside oppressor there.

Given that Hamas shares a lot of the same ideology when it comes to ruling Gaza, what makes you believe they would just magically disappear? Why wouldn't Hamas want to rule Gaza like the Taliban rule Afghanistan, or like the House of Saud rules Saudi Arabia?
