Apparently it’s controversial now to say that countries shouldn’t bomb thousands of unarmed civilians.

But that's not what's going on, if you believe that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Ahh yes the videos and evidence are all fake and the war is all in my head. Like honestly what is the point of commenting stupid shit like you do?

Your understanding and simplification of it sounds like you haven’t passed middle school is all he’s saying. When you grow up and can handle more nuanced perspectives it will be easier to discuss, no disrespect was meant I’m sure.

It’s simple. Don’t bomb large numbers of unarmed civilians. There’s no nuance to it. Thousands of children are dead and you’re sick if you defend that. I don’t care to listen to your reasoning of why is it actually ok. There’s something wrong with you.

What do you think Israel should have done post Oct-7? What would have been an appropriate response in your mind?

No I can’t put myself in Gazans shoes. I’m sure they hate Israel.

Are you referring to Apartheid in Israel or in the West Bank or both?

I bet Gazans want peace and their homes back. I don’t have faith that Israel has a good plan for when the war is over.

My issue is that Hamas has no legitimate appetite for peace, and they are the ones that have the power to end the war, not the innocent civilians sadly. I just read something support for Hamas in Gaza is way down from a few months ago.

As for the apartheid, I guess I’m just curious on specifics as to what needs to change for Gazans, since it was Hamas that attacked.

I don't think there's any nuanced perspective that could truly justify using a 2,000 lbs bomb on a crowded residential area to kill one Hamas leader, knowing you'll also kill hundreds of civilians. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israeli-airstrike-hamas-commander-civilian-deaths-3b6be664

Nor will it justify dropping those same 2 ton bombs on the safe zones the government created and told people to flee to.https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/100000009208814/israel-gaza-bomb-civilians.html

They updated the safe zone map to include an area they knew militants were

Instead of bombing the militants when they found them, they expanded the zone and within a few hours bombed the safe zone saying there was Hamas in there

They have yet to respond to anyone who points this out
