Human Rights Watch on Thursday accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions in its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, saying the use of such weapons puts civilians at risk of serious and long-term injury.
Can I understand why Hamas would want to do this, sure , because I have empathy by the bucket load and can understand that having your land taken from you over decades and nothing changes could leave them to believe they have no choice.
Is it still wrong? It sure is.
Does that give Israel the right to use white phosphorus on the most densely populated place on Earth? I think not. What do you think?
So I haven’t checked the whole story on the Willy Pete. I can’t conceive of a reason to use it, frankly. The reason the US used it in Fallujah, Mosul, and Raqqa was to clear canopies sometimes put over the streets in that part of the world. I wouldn’t think it’s anymore terrifying than airplanes dropping JDAM and such. I’ll take a look.
Tries historical rhetoric and fails so falls back on last week’s tragedy. No one is defending the civilians murders by Hamas, Israel created modern Hamas.
Unrelated to the Palestine situation, when I meet these argumentative losers on lemmy and block and report. I want to keep this place from becoming a cesspool and I recommend you do the same.

Because the Palestinians were displaced from their native land?
So that justifies hamas committing atrocities?
so that justifies the bombing of civillians?

Answer my question first.
Both sides are terrorists, yes. Glad we could agree on this.
You still don’t answer the question. Is terrorism justified?
I’ll answer that.
No it is not justified.

Thans for at least an answer.
Oh, you asked me a question…

Idk, if someone came and took over my house and told me to fuck off I’d probably be pretty pissed about it for awhile.

I graduated a long ass time ago I don’t respond to “answer my question first!” when I make a statement.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. I would respond very poorly to someone coming and taking my home, even 50 years later.
So, how would you respond to the same situation?
I’d answer the question or be gone,
I answered yours, now answer mine.
How would you respond if someone showed up at your home and said “oh this is mine now” and took it?

Let me help you with the answer to my question. Nothing justifies terror acts that Hamas did. NOTHING

I’m watching very closely. I recommend you investigate the difference between Hamas and Gaza
Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields.
Yes
Because both sides are overly devoted to the same religion that worships the same once-fertile land that is now just almost useless desert?
