when you fight a war who is the terrorist isnt determined by the number of people killed on each side, it’s determined by the intentions of the people doing the killing. for instance, when the US went after ISIS it’s estimated that between 10,000 to 27,000 ISIS were killed and only 30 US people were killed.
You have to consider not only the intentions but also the capability of the threat you’re trying to mitigate. Then you have to balance those things against the cost of whatever action you intend to take.
Sure the fanciful desire of hamas might be global domination but we both know that they just don’t have any capability in that regard.
It’s absurd to suggest that it’s appropriate to grind an entire nation to dust because they might be harboring someone with desires of global domination.
i mean, you could say the exact same for the civilian deaths and damage to infrastructure when the US was fighting ISIS. at the end of the day they did a terrorist attack and said they were going to do it again, are harboring weapons, and are right at israel’s border. they clearly have capability and intent because they fire rockets at israel all the time. what is israel supposed to do, let them fire rockets at them and not fire back? not destroy the munitions they keep in hospitals? all the deaths and the destruction of the infrastructure can be blamed on hamas, not israel. and i’m not claiming hamas does have the capability of global domination, if they did they would’ve done it. i’m saying they have that intent, just like ISIS did. are we supposed to not destroy them until they gain more power and do have the ability to be a threat to the world?
actually you have it the opposite. the israeli goal is to eliminate hamas (the terrorists) and live in peace and hamas’s goal is the extinction of jews and then most likely global domination of islam as a whole.
if israel wanted to kill arabs why is 20% of their population arab? why target palestinians specifically and not arabs in general when they are the same race? what differentiates palestinians from other arabs to where israelis only want to kill palestinians but are fine in living in peace with their 20% arab population in israel?
It’s simple, the Palestinians live in territory that Israel wants to take over, and they’re flattening it all and killing civilians. They are murdering women and children. They are bombing hospitals and schools, they are sniping kids for fun. We have video. We have statements of intent to exterminate them all, whether they are Hamas or not. It’s way beyond the pale and it’s not even close.

i mean, israel says there’s a security threat. if mexico was firing rockets into the US the US would have military presence in there too. i don’t know much about settlements or whatever, but it seems like you’re not looking at both sides of the situation

not according to the civilian to combatant death ratio. every war has war crimes though. can you name me 1 war that didn’t have war crimes committed in it?
We have statements of intent to exterminate them all, whether they are Hamas or not.
there are extremists but that is not the israeli governments position nor is it anywhere near the majority of israeli’s position. it’s a tiny minority, almost so minute that it’s not even worth mentioning, like worrying about racism by the kkk in 2026.

That’s not really true though is it.

Well the intentions of the Israelis are the extermination of entire people so yeah pretty sure we know who the real terrorists are.
actually you have it the opposite. the israeli goal is to eliminate hamas (the terrorists) and live in peace and hamas’s goal is the extinction of jews and then most likely global domination of islam as a whole.
You should at least try to be believable when you troll.

Ben Gvir would beg to differ, among others.
Intentions are made pretty clear when schools and hospitals are systematically destroyed.
