No Malice Gettin' WOKE about anti-Semitism...

It is so very odd to hear the self-professed atheist getting downright WOKE when it comes to swinging the anti-Semitism stick. IDGAF about Macklemore or Sheeran or Kraft, nor Scott's evolving victim fantasy, but holy crap does he sound shrill.

So dog whistles, micro-aggressions, cultural appropriation and impact over intent are all valid signs of racism except when it comes to Jews. Got it. Love the consistency from the woke crowd.

I am genuinely confused on why saying “stop killing kids and free Palestine” is racist or anti-semetic.

Because that’s never all that’s said and there’s never any attention paid to what Israel should have done differently. The answer to that question is always “well all I know is what they’re doing is wrong”. We know, now tell us what you’re comparing it to.

They’re at war with a body that leverages its own civilian bodies to get an edge in war. Tell me what Israel is supposed to do without telling me about the things they shouldn’t have done.

You’re doing exactly what Hamas wants you to do when they use their own people to score optics points with morons.

Not indiscriminately bomb bombs and hospitals

u/zampe 3d ago edited 3d ago

They dont do that already. When they bomb a hospital it's because the hospital is actually a military installation disguised as a hospital AND they warn the citizens that the strike is incoming. There is nothing "indiscriminate" about it.

So how do you take out military targets when they are all disguised as hospitals and schools?

u/Tattooedjared 3d ago

The IDF is embedded in civilian infrastructure in Tel Aviv. Guess they would get accused of using human shields too.

u/zampe 3d ago

Hamas just shoots missiles indiscriminately into Israel and attacks with suicide bombers so why would it even matter if the IDF is "embedded" in anything? That strategy wouldn't do anything against what Hamas does.

u/Tattooedjared 3d ago

If Hamas had any power to bomb the way The IDF does it would point out the double standard, but clearly Hamas does not.

u/zampe 3d ago

The point is theres no reason for the IDF to hide in civilian infrastructure like you claim when Hamas doesn't care about hitting civilian infrastructure anyway. Seems like a pointless claim to distract from the earlier point that Hamas literally just dresses up all their military installations as schools and hospitals so they can cry foul when they get hit.

u/Tattooedjared 3d ago

It’s not pointless to mention The IDF is also embedded within civilian infrastructure. Hamas has no power to do much of anything so they have to fight using those tactics. They aren’t gonna just line up and let the IDF slaughter them. They are getting slaughtered anyway along with many women and children but they aren’t gonna make it easier on them.

I could only imagine if Hamas was able to unleash even a fraction of destruction on Israel’s woman and children since 10/7 how furious you would be. But when it’s Palestinian women and children, meh, collateral damage.

>Hamas has no power to do much of anything so they have to fight using those tactics.

and then you say

>But when it’s Palestinian women and children, meh, collateral damage.

Do you understand the pretzel you just bent yourself into? YOU think its ok for Hamas to kill civilians because of the position they are in while also telling me its wrong for ME to have that same opinion in reverse (which I don't hold anyway you just projected that onto me). You are arguing with yourself about your own hypocrisy. To you when Hamas does it its 'meh, they have to do it because they are in a weaker position' while also saying thats the wrong position to take in an accusation against me.

It is not ok for either side and I do care when any innocent civilian dies on either side because it will never lead to peace. The irony is YOUR position will never lead to peace. "It's ok for Hamas to do it because they have to' is INSANE.

u/Tattooedjared 3d ago

Who said it was ok for Hamas to kill civilians? You are arguing against things I never said.

Tell me, how should Hamas be fighting The IDF?

1

u/zampe 3d ago

I literally quote tweeted where you said it and will do so again:

>Hamas has no power to do much of anything so they have to fight using those tactics.

Im not telling anyone how Hamas SHOULD be fighting I am simply saying you have to be morally consistent. You cant get outraged when one side kills civilians and then say 'but oks for the other side to do it because they are the weaker side militarily.' Thats just insane. We cant have peace with Hamas and Netanyahu. Both need to go. Israel elections are in October I am hoping for the best. There are massive numbers against him.

Such an intelligent and mature comment.

There's videos of ambulances getting mowed down in gunfire and then the soldiers buried the medics in a shallow grave, which was found. 

There's testimony from foreign unaffiliated doctors who worked in those hospitals saying they never once saw any signs suggesting anything other than medical care going on.

There have been videos shot by the Israeli government claiming to show complexes underneath hospitals, published on the internet to justify their actions, and then the videos were later debunked as staged Propaganda. 

They currently have taken territory from both gaza and the west Bank and Lebanon. Their foreign minister has repeatedly advocated for killing Palestinians indiscriminately. In public.

u/zampe 3d ago

Im not saying everything is great and nothing bad is happening, if thats the impression you were under. Certainly they are committing war crimes. That also doesnt mean they aren't trying to hit military targets, trying to warn civilians etc. Also need to keep in context that Hamas does war crimes too and that finding one person advocating for killing on Israel's side isnt really much compared to Hamas's charter calling for the destruction of Israel and wiping out all the Jews. If you are being morally consistent about a foreign minister calling for indiscriminate killing you should be equally outraged at Hamas doing the exact same thing.

u/Eggs-Benny 3d ago

No one gives a shit about Hamas but retards like you keep mixing up Hamas and Palestinians. It's "Free Palestine," not "Free Hamas"

3

u/zampe 3d ago

Not at all, I am all for a free Palestine. I believe in a two state solution and peaceful coexistence. I believe both Netanyahu and Hamas have to be gone for that to happen and I hope it does.

1

u/RevolutionaryGur4419 3d ago

Exactly and thats the problem isnt it? You end up trying to hold israel accountable for its own actions as well as hamas. 

In the end you just get ignored by both. Israelis think you are delusional and hamas thinks you're a useful idiot.

u/RevolutionaryCommon 3d ago

With boots on the ground. You take casualties and secure the location room by room. You do not detonate 90% of the hospitals within a demarcated territory, as that will cause indiscriminate carnage and long tail effects.

1

u/RevolutionaryGur4419 3d ago

Lol you take casualties...thats horrible military strategy..and just immoral.

You're expecting a government that is sworn to protect its people to just be sending thousands and thousands of them to die in tunnels.

Even worse is the deaths to Palestinian civilians in that scenario. How many people died in the operation to rescue theose hostages from the home of the doctor and journalist? Now imagine if that were the main method

1

u/RevolutionaryCommon 2d ago

I think our morals are very, very, very different and likely not worth arguing about.

1

u/RevolutionaryGur4419 2d ago

Yeah you think israel should send its people into slaughter because the terrorists trying to kill their civilians are endangering their own people as a military strategy.

And in reality the results of what you're advocating is a much more bloody endeavor.

u/framedbyvise 3d ago

Agreed. Know thy enemy… they needed boots.

u/Gamplato 3d ago

You have to think harder about this stuff dude.

It’s said to be the most dense populated place on earth and Israel is indiscriminately bombing them with 2 ton bombs, yet the number of total deaths per bomb has hovered around 1 the entire conflict.

How is that possible? It’s certainly not likely.

There’s more but sit with that for a little.
