Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

    How many millions did we kill in revenge?

    Many many times more. An eye for an eye leaves the world blind.

    Israel is doing the same thing now. Only not even pretending to rebuild a nation.

      But yeah if you think that we were blameless on 9/11 disregards the history of US foreign politicy.

      This is where “But yeah if you think those countries weren’t entirely blameless disregards these country’s support of terrorism”

      I won’t though, because unlike you I don’t think there’s any valid rationalization for deliberately targeting civilians. That would just be me lowering myself to the level you lowered yourself to by rationalizing the targeting of civilians.

      But you don’t really have any kind of argument against killing civilians because you’ve already suggested that it’s acceptable to do so.

      Many many times more. An eye for an eye leaves the world blind.

      Why don’t you apply this to 9/11 and October 7? What al Qaeda and Hamas did are an “eye for an eye” mentality aren’t they? Why not just do the sensible thing and denounce these “eye for an eye” actions as inexcusable?
