not committing war crimes, apartheid, and genocide is a good option

So, they should accept the massacre and feel bad about themselves?

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

they shouldn't respond to an attack by killing innocent civilians also they've been brutally dehumanitizing and terrorising Palestinians in Gaza for years

The deliberate targeting of civilians is horrible. But it’s well documented that hamas uses people as meat shields, by using civilian buildings as ammo depots and rocket launching platforms. That’s, unfortunately, a fair target then…

gaza is literally a small territory surrounded by water and israel where do you think people would be that aren't targets for missles that level entire city blocks?

Israel definitely could have avoided this, and not fuck up the whole situation so much, but it’s not a simple matter… and self defense is a simple matter… if someone shoots at you, you kill them. That’s what happens when you take a gun. If you massacre a bunch of civilians, then people are going to shoot at you and your accomplices with passion

but then doesn't that mean palestinians have a right to self defence?

[-] khalic@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Military targets yes, if there is a missile launcher or ammo in an israeli building, yes it is a valid target. You have to right to kill anyone who’s actively trying kill you.
