Fantastic title

Not that I in any way support Israel’s campaign of violence, but I’m not sure these kinds of posts from and questionable news sources are doing anyone any favors. For those of us who already oppose the Israeli campaign, there’s nothing new here. For those who do, these kinds of sensationalist posts just push them farther back into their views.

The best case scenario is to open peoples’ eyes to the harm Israel is doing and convince them to change their opinion, which a more neutral has a better chance of doing.

Is it any less reliable than other state-affiliated news agency? Maybe. Depends on your perspective.

LOL, nice headline. These people are freaking nuts.

What else do you call the bombing of civilians.

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

When a non-state actor does it, it is terrorism. When a state actor does it, it is called war crimes.

[-] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

While a funny quip, states are capable of terrorism. See Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, Dresden, the blitz. Ya know I was hoping I would off the top of my head remember more than just WW2 examples, but here we are. I mean, besides Israel at the moment but that's the topic so doesn't really fit to the list.

Simplistic rhetoric and superficial understanding.

[-] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Oh no, let me understand the perspective of people bombing civilians to cause them to lose faith in the local militia group for the sake of colonization and conquest. I'm sure they have a good reason.

So reductive, inflamatory, and ill-informed. It's kind of sad.

And the Nazis had a point or two as well didn't they? Let's break down the pros and cons of genocide, let's not be so hasty to judge.

Unlike you, I don't need to wait for historians to reach a consensus on the evils of my time.

Keep it coming. You are cracking me up. Nazi comparisons now, and I'm the unhinged one?

[-] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Pretty normal to call a state that commits genocide a Nazi state as that's the thing the Nazis did. That and the race mixing laws. Don't forget it's illegal to race mix in Israel. Ethno state, famously also a Nazi thing. This isn't hyperbole, it's a pretty direct comparison.

You deserve to be belted until you spin like a fucking beyblade

You sound like a terrorist.
