    Nobody is excusing Oct 7th, we don’t need a retelling of it. I don’t think shooting civilians is any more barbaric than bombing them to pieces from above. You’ll have to excuse me for not recognizing it as the civilized way to kill your enemies.

    And, yes, Hamas, as the government in Gaza, also happens to be tallying casualty figures that Lemmy eats up without question.

    Go count them yourself then. You seem to have no self-awareness of how absolutely disgusting it is, morally speaking, to insinuate “there haven’t been THAT many innocents killed” with nothing but your own doubt and bias to argue the point. But this is how you folks tend to work, you don’t have to prove anything, just cast amorphous doubt and leave it at that.

      I am disgusted with the loss of any innocent life. So don’t put that on me; shame on you for making that accusation. I think you’re confused about what I’m saying: Hamas knew perfectly well when they raped Israeli women, cut off their breasts, and paraded their bodies around town square that they were provoking military force against Palestinian civilians – because their military installations are built underneath civilian infrastructure. They knew and they didn’t care, and they still don’t care, because it’s martyrdom in their eyes.
