In response to complaints about its coverage, CBC says Israeli state violence is different than Hamas’ violence because the killing of Palestinians happens “remotely”
Well I mean, Hamas decided to go to war in a tiny little area, densely populated. They knew they would have the shit bombed out of them and that why they build their bunkers and munitions depots under apartment buildings. Hamas launches thousands of rockets at Israel and have 40,000 soldiers operating what is apparently the longest existing and most developed tunnel warfare machine in modern memory.
It’s an interesting argument. Does Israel not get to claim moral outrage if Palestinians bomb school buses because that’s just what happens in war? If there is no morality in war, Hamas did nothing wrong, correct? Rapes happen in war. Deaths of children happen in war. Could Iran use nerve gas against Tel Aviv and have it simply written off as “that’s what happens?”

Pretty common for war to kill a lot of civilians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio
Sad reality
If you have an issue with the number of civilians Russia has killed in its war with Ukraine, Israel has surpassed that number in less than 2 months.

War is a crime against humanity, along with everything that comes with it. The is no just or unjust war, the is no justification for war.
