The state of Gaza’s hospitals: Surgeries without anesthesia and with only mobile phones for light. Vinegar from the corner store as disinfectant. 5,000 patients in a hospital built for 700, some sleeping on the floor. No power, no clean water, little fuel.
Almost 70% of Gazans support armed attacks on Israeli civilians. This isn’t a tiny minority of psychopaths. It’s the majority.
Living for decades under constant suffering and oppression leads to radicalization, this is old news and should be expected given how horrifically Israel has treated Palestinians. It doesn’t excuse the killing of Israelis of course, but similarly their actions don’t excuse or justify Israel’s ethnic cleansing.
There is no reason, justification, or excuse for murdering babies. None.
Yeah you’re right. But funny how you keep making excuses for murdering Gazan babies.
Israelis are actively mocking those they kill dead. They have Telegram channels where people gloat over photos of bodies. They are fucking psychopaths.
Quote me where I make excuses for murdering Gazan babies.
Your response to civilians not being allowed food, water, or medical supplies while Israel bombs the shit out of them, including shelters and places of worship, is, “So release the hostages you fucking psychopaths.”
This is collective punishment, not much different from the holocaust. We don’t have to wait until “enough” die until at least some country places serious sanctions on Israel.
Stop trying to appeal to emotion when there’s enough suffering to go around. Nothing I said justified the killing of babies, in fact quite the opposite, you even bringing that up in response to me means you have no actual argument, you’re just falling back on reactionary buzzwords.
Okay, tell the Israelis that.
You realise that IDF has killed way more babies than Hamas, right? And not even now, historically. 50% of the population of Gaza is below 18 years. There are 4600 casualties on Palestinian side, meaning that at least 2300 are below 18. Now make an assumption about how many of them are babies.
Not to mention those prematurely born babies that depend on oxygen, and are endangered by the forceful power cut imposed by Israel.
Or is your point that Palestinian babies don’t count?
But apparently murdering babies is a justification for genocide? Including the babies on the opposing side?
Where’s the line?
And that justifies killing children how?
Not giving power to an enemy which wants you dead isn’t murder.
Even if you do it on the dead bodies of more than a thousand kids?
