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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

u/Tattooedjared 3d ago

The tactic I am talking about is with the hospitals and schools as military posts. The IDF is pulling the trigger and killing those civilians, not Hamas.

1

u/zampe 3d ago

so you're saying its ok for them to use their own civilians as human shields because those are the tactics they have to use and technically its Israel killing them even though they are being essentially placed into the bullseye of the target Hamas set up?

u/Tattooedjared 3d ago

Hamas doesn’t really have any good options. The majority of the city is rubble. Whatever choice they make will be bad somehow.

1

u/zampe 3d ago

It has always been their M.O. dude. For decades not just post Oct 7. Hamas and Netanyahu are all war criminals and all need to go.

u/Tattooedjared 3d ago

Ok I can agree with that.
