    I understand what you’re saying, and I agree with the intent, but I don’t agree with it. If the people of Israel have to face consequences for their actions, they might take a stand and force their government to stop. They aren’t innocent until they’re doing what they can to force a cessation of the violence. As long as they feel safe they won’t feel the pressure to stand up. I don’t like it when people die, but I also recognize that sometimes it can save lives in the long-term.

      A 6 month old baby who has no control over being born in Israel literally can’t do anything to help the cessation of violence. The elderly, disabled, ill, or abused, literally can’t do anything to help the cessation of violence.

      There are a lot of people that have no ways or means to do anything to stop what Israel is doing. They are just stuck there.

      So I don’t think their deaths should be viewed as a necessity to stop this conflict just because Israel is hiding behind them.

        A 6 month old baby in Gaza is very likely to die of starvation or in a bombing. I don’t see you giving a shit.

          I give just as much of a shit. Being on the side of humanity is not hard to understand. Innocent lives should be protected. Period. They literally have no control over their nationality, and it’s childish to believe they do.
