    Israel has been going after Palestinian civilians for decades.

    So you also admit Israel is a terrorist state and that they have zero credibility?

      I’m not admitting to anything and I don’t appreciate you attempting to put words into my mouth to fit your worldview.

      The events of the past are not relevant when the events of the current are beyond the boundaries of what’s acceptable to the rest of humanity.

      Anyone who kills innocent people is on my shit list, it doesn’t matter what God they serve, what border they protect, or what color are their skin is, or who they like to fuck.

      Right and wrong don’t give an absolute single fuck about whose side your favorite is.

      The events that we’re talking about here are the events that we’re talking about here.

        They just pointed out how using your logic neither side has any credibility due to their subjugation and murdering of innocent civilians.

        The events of the past are not relevant when the events of the current are beyond the boundaries of what’s acceptable to the rest of humanity.

        Except in this case both parties actively go beyond the boundaries of what’s acceptable to the rest of humanity

          Also that “events of the past” vs “events of the current” dichotomy is just some S-tier mental gymnastics. It’s all in the past. The Hamas attack, Israel’s more recent attack that also killed loads of civilians. If you know about the event, then it’s already happened. That’s just how time works.

          They’re just choosing some arbitrary point in the past to start counting so they can claim one side is the victim and the other are the terrorists, but they’re pretending to have some objective basis for it although that falls down the moment you look at it.

            Well let’s go all the way back then. What does the Israelis own history say vis a vis the Bible / Torah? Oh yeah it says the cannaanites were there first and the only claim they have to that land is literally " we know u were here but god told us this is ours"

      Do you have specific instances of Israel actually targeting civilians when they’re not being used as human shields? They’ve bombed civilian buildings, but usually because Hamas uses those buildings to house weapons. And with roof knocking/alerts, they are at least making some effort to limit collateral damage
