      It is! One that’s been committed repeatedly over the years by both the HAMAS and IDF.

        Yes, well it seems that war crime was practised last weekend. Is there a reason why when you say war crime you tend to forget that part?

          It’s amazing how some people can reduce everything in this world to black and white. Did I not just point out it’s been happening for the past several years? Yes, last weekend does happen to be part of the last several years, the last time I looked at my calendar.

            So Hamas has slaughtered a thousand Israelis is the last several years? Sounds like that should be a bigger story. Maybe we should link our aid to Palestine to them not committing war crimes.

              I think you’d get your point across better if you just came out and said which of the two groups of human beings you are okay with being slaughtered the most. Seems like you’re stopping short of making your actual point here and I can’t quite figure out why…

                First I see people here justify vile terroristic acts with no regard what happens next. Then, as things progress, they start a word of the day club. Yesterday, it was genocide and today it’s war crimes. Stuff and nonsense.

                This weekend Israel was hit with horrendous terrorism and there is no justification or moral equivalence. Israel has a duty to defend itself. It has declared war. Things will get a lot worse and armchair leftists will whine and render their clothes. But it’s war, and nobody likes it.

              The dude youre responding to literally keeps saying neither group is justified in their war crimes and you keep accusing him of being okay with hamas commiting war crimes. Your brain is rotted dude. Just come out and say admit you like war crimes as long as Israel is doing them.

                NO, the original comment was that Israel aid contingent on war crimes. I’m just trying to point out that this war really started with a war crime on Israel.

                  The original comment was we should not be sending aid to someone who commits war crimes.

                  This means don’t send money to Israel or hammas because they both commit war crimes.

                  You seem to think they mean we should send aid to hammas instead for some reason, which is not what they are saying, and that’s baffling to everyone reading this thread.

                    As I said somewhere else Gaza would cease to be without foreign aid. Israel would be ok. Sorry your baffeled.

                If Gaza didn’t have foreign aid they would no longer exist. It isn’t all Israel’s fault, development aid to the country has not always been used as intended, it is over populated due to lack of health care and religion, and must import everything much like a Caribbean island. NO industry developed, etc. Hamas uses it’s money to perpetuate crimes because they are ass clowns, it is international aid that keeps them going.

                All the US foreign aid to Israel must be spent in US Companies. So, the lack of that aid would hurt the US as well as Israel. But, with their economic base they would be ok,

      They’re asking biden to link aid to good behavior and you say that he should stop slaughtering non-combatents? It sounds like you’re trying to shift their opinion, but I can’t possibility see how that whataboutism would fool anyone.

        First of all it’s Congress that would link, not Biden.

        Second of all, we give aid to Palestine too,

        Lastly, if you read the string you can see some answers to your questions.

      It is and Israel and Hamas are doing this. So we need to make sure the side that we support does not do it.
