The population density of Gaza as a whole is roughly one-tenth of Mosul and yet the civilian deaths accounted for the same effort are significantly less in Gaza as compared with the 2017 capture of the Mosul. I am not sure why anyone on earth is expecting the IDF to magically do better than the world’s largest coalition in history in OIR. Urban combat sucks for everyone involved.
Partially but there is also an information gap about perpetual violence coming out of Gaza from the region as well. Just because Israel got better at defending does not mean they are not reacting in a vacuum.
Reliable news sources that simply take the Palestinian Authority at their word.
Exactly
I have yet to have someone provide me with a source where Hamas/PA admits that an air strike hit something other than civilians. Why would you take an organization at its word that has been shown time and time again to directly make up reality before reports are validated?
If you are wondering why there is a generational gap in support for Palestine, that’s why.
If you use violence to bring about your preferred society, you enable violence as a tool of oppression by that society.
If you actively seek to murder people, I will actively ensure you are put in jail. I apply the same logic to fascists. Fascists only gain power throughout history when the left starts to actively degrade people’s lives. This is why the left historically has shifted to reform as the ethical approach and have gradually shifted more liberal.
If you cannot convince anyone with your words, you certainly won’t with your violence.
I agree which is why I consider myself a liberal.
So, you want to kill specific people because there is not a law against what they do?
I’m trying to get you to understand how extreme and also illogical this is. I know a lot of ethical left leaning people. You are not one of them.
Is a specific billionaire actively threatening your life with physical violence? I don’t think you understand how self defense works.
If murder is the only thing that works for people like you, don’t be surprised when it’s what you receive in return with the backing of the state.
Well, everyone is entitled to a fair trial. They are not guilty or eligible for capital punishment until that’s completed and found guilty by a jury of their peers. Try again, extremist.
I propose calling it a Lemmy Leap.
So maybe don’t advocate for murder. Additionally, don’t suggest it as a solution if your views do not represent the majority opinion. That’s literally called radical extremism.
That’s literally the definition of economic fascism. Private corporations that are subservient to a one party state. The efficiencies of capitalism directed towards the will of the people.
I think it’s important that people understand the core argument behind fascism because if you do not counter it, you allow it to spread. Sometimes not by name but in form.
It’s also my core argument against any non liberal radicalism but that’s not a popular view on this platform for some reason.
So you kill them?! Is this how you solve all of your problems?
No, it’s just violence. There is no immediate threat on your life right now and this is premeditated.
This is what convinces people that Lemmy has a bad community fyi.
There Lemmy goes inciting violence again. Why is it considered okay if it is the right kind of subversion? 99.9% of people are rational but that leaves millions that take this as a calling.
