Leadership of my country has been calling for a ceasefire and reduction of violence since the beginning. Great to see that we're lumped in with the Americans regardless.

It is possible to condemn both this attack and the embassy strike, just as it is possible to find the October 7 attack an appalling act of barbarism without wanting kids killed in retaliation

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yes. Yes it is. It’s just wildly unpopular to be empathetic without a side of hatred these days.

Thank you for being a caring and moderate tempered person.

No man... if a kid is getting bullied and beat up by another kid and he snaps and fights back why would you be mad at him for defending himself?

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you think israel bullying everryone is super cool and deny the victims of israeli aggression their right to retaliate then sure.

[–] hanekam@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So Hamas killing kids is a-okay?

[–] Albatross2724@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Nobody said that

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

No it's only okay when israel does it. When Hamas does the same thing is when we discover morality.

Also a reminder that israel has on average killed more Palestinian kids every single day since Oct7 than Hamas did on Oct7 in total.

[–] hanekam@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been the one saying nobody should be killing kids the whole time

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's really cool if there were more people saying that would not even exist. Because the only reason they exist is in response to israel killing children.

Sadly we all decided to collectively ignored israel killing kids for 75 years so it starts feeling a little hollow when we criticize others for doing it.

Luckily Hamas only had a 3% child casualty rate on oct7 because they took care to avoid killing children (this is even including israeli friendly fire).

Compared to israels horrible Genocidal 40% child casualty rate in Gaza with worlds most advanced weapons it's really weird that people keep painting Hamas as child killers.

No. We haven't. That's the point. But there's a limit to what a small country can achieve from the other side of Europe. The Irish are the prime example they've always stood up for Palestine it just doesn't make enough of a difference. They don't deserve to be lumped in with the Americans just because they aren't powerful.

Ireland and Spain are making some good moves lately but the only Western countries that can really moral high ground this one are Sweden and Iceland

The Irish government have also not always stood up for Palestine. They have even bought israeli weapons in 2010

I disagree with the premise that standing up for Palestine means you have to always and in every instance act against Israel. This isn't a fight to the death where only one side can survive and shouldn't be framed that way.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Buying weapons from Genocidal Nazis sure isn't helping Palestine.

There are 70 nations in the west. Based on the content of their comment, I’m guessing Canada.
