wow so sad, it's almost like they started multiple wars or something

[–] SupaTuba@lemm.ee 49 points 1 week ago (8 children)

I feel terrible for every citizen killed or made homeless/jobless because of this.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 week ago

Hopefully they take the opportunity for a fresh start and move out of the settler occupation of Palestine.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (15 children)

If they voted for Netanyahu they asked for it, and I have no sympathy.

The rest would do the same.
As they always have proven their entire miserable history.

Fun fact: every citizen of the entity is considered a reservist so there ARE no civilians! If you're a settler you're a valid target no matter what!

[–] lenz@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Idk man. If you’re a child, a unhoused, or a otherwise a person without the economic means to leave because your ancestors were settlers and you just so happened to be born in the colonized land, I’d consider you a civilian. I think your view is too black and white.

Screw you if you’re a deliberate Zionist benefiting from genocide though.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Israelis aren't walled in and prevented from leaving like Palestinians are in Gaza.

Israelis have no practical excuse to continue their occupation, especially when everyone is forced to serve in the IDF to actively aid the occupation rather than just passively.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago (8 children)

As long as they are not on active duty, they shouldn't be targets. And if they are forced to serve, they should still only be killed if they are an active threat. Normally, they should first be offered to surrender.

Hope you're acting ironic and do not actually call to genocide all Jews in Israel.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

No, but all Israelis that are zionists maybe.

Zionists are not Jewish people, they are actually against Judaism.

I believe it's the Talmud that says Israel cannot exist until the messiah returns. This is why you have many religious Jews in the US against the state of Israel.

Zionists are the one and only antisemites.

I don’t want to talk ethics, but as a rule of thumb, winning a war is easier if you take out strategic targets than if you target civilians. Targeting civilians is what you do if your weapons aren’t precise enough to target tanks/planes etc.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

every citizen in Palestine and Iran too right?

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] SupaTuba@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Of course! All citizens.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (13 children)

Shouldn't be a citizen on stolen land.

Don't think they care much. Or about anything except themselves for that matter.
The most navel staring country on the planet

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago (14 children)

The reason the US supports Israel is exactly because Israel is a settler-colony. They're part of the same genocidal settler project, Zionism is Manifest Destiny.

If landback wins in Israel the ones paying attention know that it's coming for them too.

Just a reminder: 82% of all the Israeli Jews support ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Just saying.

What kind of citizen? Palestinian? Iranian?

[–] SupaTuba@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

What the other commenter said. All citizens.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

I don't. I only feel terrible for the ones who were opposed to these attacks on other countries. Most of them (if the statistics I've seen are to be believed) support the actions, so they deserve the consequences. Maybe these people dying horrifically will finally make others consider the value of lives.

What they can't do some wars and genocide now???
