I actually haven't even heard about this tbh, usually I just see another massacre of civilians in the news and go about my day feeling like shit

At this point I've just kind of realized that there is no argument to be had with them. Not that their stubborn, but genuinely. It's not that they can't be critical of Hamas that they're arguing, but that their criticism is responded to by "whataboutism" (so says them). Which isn't even an argument so much as a statement? Like I guess yea, if you say so? But the original article is talking about a bombing in a civilian safe-zone that may not even have killed Hamas militants, so criticism of Israel is expected, even in replies of criticism if Hamas. If anything they are just complaining about the way they were responded to, which I don't even know what the response they want is? I've concurred with said criticism, but that doesn't seem to be it either? I genuinely don't know what there is to say, or what they want if it's not agreement with their criticism. Maybe that the criticism should be unchallenged? But again this is a thread about IDF bombs killing civilians in a "safe zone". Either way I don't think it's worth your time, as they can't even commit to ending conversations that aren't "worth their time."

I'm saying that you are bringing back a discussion had many times over and trying to claim that no one has had it. It's redundant. The article is about an action by Israel, of course the discussion is gonna be about that action.

That's really it? I thought it would actually be something important. I actually even agreed with your criticism of Hamas. Like, it's been needless to say that criticism of Hamas has been had already, since way before this thread. Since October 7th even. Your time is being wasted because you wasted it yourself.

Again, what is your argument?

Where is your answer?

Tell me what criticism of Hamas accomplishes then. They went and killed a thousand innocent Israelis, they hide among civilians, resulting in said civilians deaths. What now? Do I get a gold star for pointing out the terrorists? Do the dead get to cheer that their death meant another Hamas militant died (or didn't in the case of this article)?Are the living supposed to feel grateful to Israel that their family and friends are dead, needless to say hateful towards Hamas for hiding amongst them? What is the goal here? What are me, and the dozens of other people here, missing that only you seem to see?

But they are, that is the situation we are in. At every point we can say Hamas is a piece of shit group for using human shields, but that's not gonna change the situation. You keep saying that Hamas isn't getting enough criticism, but I think bombardment by the IDF is criticism enough. The whole ask is, stop shooting through the human shields to kill the bad guys. Even here there is doubt that there even was Hamas hiding with civilians to begin with. We are just giving Israel loads and loads of money, but we can't even get a more definitive answer than "we said so"? At this point I can only think that, even if by some chance Israel really isn't commiting a genocide, the end result will be indistinguishable from it. Palestine and it's people will be erased physically or culturally and we are allowing it to happen, and any pointing that out is met with "Hamas is the one using them as shields" or "Hamas started it". Hamas is unconscionable. Israel isn't, or atleast they say they aren't.

Nice I got the CIA Award for Journalism

You wouldn't mind explaining what it is then? I'm all ears.

Fukhueson when they find out you're not actually supposed to kill human shields:
