    I know, right? Don’t they know reality is a zero sum game?

    Horrific acts done against a group of people cancel out the horrific acts they do. As long as the other side is “worse” you can torture, murder, and rape all you want – it’s totally justified. Especially if you indiscriminately target defensless civilian populations for your “revenge”.

      You are morally obliged to shoot and kill people who are invading your country. The fact that includes civilians is not the fault of Hamas. Just a thought: if you don’t want to get killed in a war maybe don’t kick out the inhabitants to move into an active war zone??

      And yes, it’s an active war zone. Even the EU calls them what they are: an illegal occupation. You are passively supporting ethnic genocide.

        Should US border guards shoot women and children trying to illegally cross in from Mexico?

        Those civilians who are now being killed live mostly on the border of Gaza - these aren’t settlers, they don’t live in occupied territory.

        Many others who were killed and kidnapped were kids at a rave near the border. Were the terrorists morally obliged to shoot them? Were they morally obliged to strip the women and beat them and post the videos online? Was the German tourist they did this to yesterday an invader?

          Israel has targeted health centers and large apartment blocks as reprisals. they threated to punish the whole population by switching off electricity.

          why are they even in control of the electricity?

          why are they allowing settlers to create illegal settlements?

              why is that Israel’s concern? Just divest from the area and let them get on with it.

              It’s difficult of course with all the illegal Israeli settlements taking land from people and cutting up the already small area of land.

          not sure why you conflate women and children seeking asylum as invaders. that’s embarrassing.

            Can you only think in terms of groups? Believe it or not, I did not join lemm.ee because of my politics or whatever, I just like the name.

            Interesting that your first response to an opinion you don’t agree with is a call for defederation. Ignoring the opinions and ideas of people you disagree with puts you in an echo chamber.
