    Palestine doesn’t even have an army. What war are you talking about?

    This is more a “special military operation” as retaliation for a terrorist attack. Because this ain’t a war, it’s a massacre of mostly innocent people. I mean… they’re literally targeting children. And the ambulance trying to reach them.

      It just happened to have 24 battalions of Hamas terroists I guess eh?

      Good news is 18 of them have been eliminated. Won’t be long now until the objective is complete.

        Ok, if they were confining that to Hamas maybe it would be good news. But how many Palestinians were “eliminated” on the way to delivering you your “good news”. How many dead children? How many doctors, teachers, drivers, grandparents have been eliminated to bring you this good news?

        I just don’t think that Israeli lives are any more or less important than Palestinian lives. So murdering 30,000 Gazans doesn’t seem like remotely good news to me.

        But then again I’m not a bloodthirsty bigot.

          Thousands of people died in the allied Dresden bombing campaign in WW2, by design.

          Hundreds of thousands died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

          Doesn’t make the allies any less just in their fight. They did what was needed to win decisively.

          Wars not pretty but often it’s necessary if you want to live.

          I just don’t think that Israeli lives are any more or less important than Palestinian lives.

          Sounds like complete pacifism. Is that correct? Is there a war now or at some point in history that you supported?
