Tapper was visibly disgusted after ex-Israeli ambassador Mark Regev victim-blamed nine members of a CNN producer’s family who were killed in Israeli airstrikes.

      Per the news story. The IDF provided leaflets mapping out safe zones. Hamas should have provided these to it’s people and provided safe passage.

        It’s funny that your name is a character from Star Wars. That reminds me…

        All those people on Alderaan should have just left when the Death Star showed up, right? It’s actually a really good analogy. Thanks.

          Darth Vader called 2 hours prior, told them all 45 billion of them Alderaans had to leave the planet. It’s not his fault, the Empire is the most moral army in the galaxy.

          There is no comparison. Israel is not an empire because it doesn’t have an emperor. Alderan was not given warning to evacuate. You can’t compare strategic bombing of Jawas with a kyber crystal-based WMD.

            Your main objection to the complete obliteration of Alderaan is… they weren’t given warning to evacuate?

            This provides even more insight into your thinking. That moment in the movie is meant to illuminate the lack of morals and remorse of those on the Death Star. And you say, “well they should have given them some time to leave. The complete destruction of their homes is fine though.”

              Obviously, the destruction of the planet was totally uncalled for. They should have been more strategic with their space lasers. This is an area that my people have better experience in than the Stormtroopers.
