Sure, but again, if you indiscriminately kill innocent people in Gaza and destroy the very last university, even if you might have reasons to do so - you can expect quite a lot of people to not be on your side. The only thing for sure is that Israel won that one.
Absolutely. Not sure why you would think I don't understand the hatred Israel is getting.
Not sure what Israel won, despite making sure there will be another generation of Palestinian freedom fighters with rather questionable methods.
I wasn't making a statement about you, I just wanted to demonstrate the statement can be made in any way.
I agree, Israel bred the Hamas of tomorrow for sure. But they did win in terms of getting closer to turning Gaza into a settlement.
But you were responding to a actual person, me. So it would have helped if you clarified it wasn't about me - don't you think?
Even that sounds to me like a win for the terrorists - but I can see, people have different view.
It's directed to you. It just makes no statements about you personally, just responding to your opinion. Hope that clarifies it.
That's great.
Does Hamas ever probe any of their bombings? Does Hamas ever give a warning before it launches rockets into Israel? Does Hamas give a shit if it targets a college or a hospital or a school? Has Hamas ever charged one of its fighters with War crimes?
No. If Hamas blows up a coffee shop with 50 kids in it, the bombers family member gets a nice pension, probably paid with Iranian oil money. No warnings. No accountability. Actual indiscriminate killing of civilians.
You keep asking me why I credit what the IDF says. Well, they actually have some culture of transparency and see, you credit them, too.
We do live in a dystopian world after all: "We are pleased to inform you that your house has been selected for a bombing due to acute terrorist threat. Please leave the area immediately. We are thankful for your cooperation." Only missing Judge Dredd.
"OH yes and you only have 2 minutes to leave... But sometimes we skip the warning because Hamas might find out and flee too... That would ruin our chances of killing the terrorists! Thank you for understanding."
