Indiscriminately targeting buildings with bombings and depriving two million people of water, electricity and fuel is "collateral damage", sure š¤”
Also that's just what the colonizers did these past few days; they have been murdering Palestinians civilians for decades
hahahahah jesus you're really this thick?
What exactly is the difference between the Israeli strikes on Gaza and the hamas/etc. strikes on Israel that makes one cold blooded murder and the other collateral damage? Because in my world, collateral damage is a pretty good term for the damage wrought by homemade rockets launched in a desperate, flailing attempt against much better equipped captors, whereas said captors, striking with relatively precise weapons, on the heart of an incredibly dense population center where there is guaranteed to be tons of "collateral damage", is a lot closer to cold blooded murder. Especially considering israeli air strikes on gaza didn't start with this particular clash.
Is it collateral damage, or is it acceptable civilian casualties by airstrike from an occupying state with a vastly superior arsenal?
Don't 'nuance' me. If you had any concept of nuance you'd be able to identify the conditions that created Hamas. You might even be able to see the clear objectives of Western media outlets and how they align with hegemonic capitalism in who they choose to support.
Israel has mapped every square inch of Gaza. They know where clinics are, they know where mosques are, they know where apartments are. Israel also uses incredibly precise bombs.
What this means is there is no ācollateral damageā in Israeli bombings of Gaza, because every single death and every bit of damage causes is intentional. Every death caused by a bomb dropped on Gaza can be considered first degree murder, intentional and premeditated.
Terrorist?
What do you call blowing up markets, apartment blocks, power plants, and the only hospital in gaza (Those last 2 were several years ago) if not deliberate acts of terror?
The average age in gaza is 18. Most of Israel's victims are literal children.
colonizers should stop colonizing.
tell us how you feel about south africa throwing off apartheid
tell us how you feel about indians throwing off the raj
tell us how you feel about the vietnamese kicking out the french
"You tankies dont understand nuance"
Gets nuance explained to you
"Get fucked u terrorists "
The humilation of the west's axis of evil cannot come soon or hard enough
Uh huh.
Do you expect Israel to treat the hostages as acceptable collateral damage?
:chefs-kiss:
"Get fucked tankies Iām not here to split hairs with you. YOU FUCKING TERRORIST BOOT LICKERS!"
Thanks, bye.
Nuance is when I know nothing about a topic but am so insecure that I condescendingly lecture others by making shit up about it.
To prove that I'm actually very smart and good, I make sure to drop the language of double standards into my lectures so that the Good Guys (white supremacist capitalists) know I'm on their side and the Bad Guys (fuckin tankies) know I'm not.
That is not a tanke approach. Geez
Calls us tankies when we condemn the military sending tanks into the city
