Throwing a stone is not a petty crime, it's called assault with a deadly weapon
If you’re a crowd who throws 100 of them, perhaps. Not one little boy, throwing a single stone. Don’t be ridiculous.
When people say children, it includes people who are 16 years old.
When people say stone, it includes gravel and dust
Do you take the same attitude with your sexual partners?
Nah, a stone can be a deadly weapon. Even one.
Head trauma is no joke is.
a grape can be a deadly weapon under the right circumstances. that doesn’t mean it is one.
you’re still being ridiculous.
yet you’re not dead. I rest my case.
There are people who die from getting hit by a stone
Plenty more get killed by Israelis these days.
Oh so that makes it okay
Kids throwing rocks at the people operating the open air concentration camp they're detained in with the food, water, power, trade and movement restricted (at best) as Israel levels their homes, displaces and kills them? You're right - I think there's far bigger concerns than the kids throwing rocks.
What do you think it says about you that you'd use a few kids throwing rocks as justification for shooting, shelling, bombing, and starving thousands of children, innocent civilians, and turning every building in the area into said rocks?
I'm pretty sure kidnapping and killing thousands was the justification. Israel does detain people without charging them, but I find that the actual problem instead of the teenagers being charged with a crime in an actual court.
So Israel's response to Hamas' actions (a group Israel propped up over moderate secular orgs for reasons that definitely don't involve manufacturing pretext for the genocide of people they're keeping in an open air concentration camp) was a reasonable, proportionate one that's killed what - 18k so far, potentially tipping Israel over the "10k children killed since October" line?
No, it wasn't quite as targeted as promised. Both sides can be in the wrong
See, that's the thing with genocide - it's targeted - it just doesn't care about civilians. When Israel is responsible for Hamas, both sides are wrong, but not in a remotely comparable way.
Of course, Israel is getting a little too trigger happy by genocidal standards too, killing shirtless Israelis, speaking Hebrew, waving white flags, after a ceasefire was called - and this is what they're admitting to. The fact that Israel is killing journalists and barring access lets Israel get away with plenty.
There are the overwhelming majority who don’t
Majority of people who get stabbed also don't die, is that why people here defend "children" who stabbed Israelis and went to prison?
Why are teenagers not children? Please explain.
Because childhood has a definition
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child
As the parent of a 13-year-old: They're still children.
13 year olds get pregnant and get others pregnant. That's by definition not a child
You're clearly not a parent.
And if a 13-year-old can get pregnant and aren't a child, do you think it's okay to have sex with them?
I never said it's okay to have sex with them, I'm simply telling you that anyone after puberty is not a child by definition
lmao

Why are they imprisoning children?
If you care so much about children, ask the Israelis why they bomb hospitals full of them. Almost 8,000 children massacred and counting. Nice genocide ya got there.

Are you lost or just desperate for attention?
Who said I'm on Israel's side here?
trolls and other sociopaths such as yourself are usually on their own side
What do you call killing thousands of children?
I don't know, why don't you ask Hamas, since they are the experts in killing children
Suddenly you're all bashful about slapping labels on stuff?
It's OK - we can try another - what do you call a group that's killed orders of magnitude more children than the "experts in killing children"?
Also experts in killing children. Who said either of the sides is blameless?
It's implied in you running straight past Israel's actions to focus on condemnation of Palestinians comparatively minor actions - or is there another explanation?
I don't condemn Palestinians
So what do you call the group killing many, many times more kids than the "experts in killing children", and why did you deflect to the comparatively minor crimes of Hamas?
At this point, Israel has killed far more children in this war than Hamas. So I'd say they're both experts, but Israel is the one with more experience.
Arresting kids for throwing rocks is petty enough as it. Labeling their actions as assault with a deadly weapon before you arrest them is just absurd.
How is it petty? It's actually physically dangerous to people.
