It's utterly fascinating to me how stupid we've become:
There are only 2 options. Nuance is for the extremists or something
Alternatively you could attack the nazi government without attacking the citizens. Similarly Hamas could attack the Israeli government instead of citizens. Israel is absolutely comparable to nazi Germany, but that doesn't justify the abhorrent actions of Hamas in any way. It turns out that when you offer genocide in the opposite direction as a solution for genocide, nothing happens except for the deepening of dividing lines...
ok, so Israel should have to allow Hamas to get precision guided missiles so they can target the Israeli government instead of civilians.
Last I checked, massacring a music festival has nothing to do with targeting the Israeli government...
There are situatikns where Hamas clearly cannot target the Israeli government (like their missiles). Others in which they clearly choose to target Israeli citizens.
Believe it or not, I disagree with the Israeli blockade of the Gaza strip. I just don't believe that mindless violence is justifiable, nor that it will accomplish anything except ensuring more innocent lives lost.
For the record: if you downvote without responding, you've lost the argument...
