    Why is it okay to respond to barbaric violence with more barbaric violence? Butchering civilians does not make the civilians like you. And if even you— who is probably totally unaffected by this— think it’s okay to respond with barbarity in turn, how do you think the affected civilians will feel when deciding on another leader down the line?

    I thought we as a society decided that eye-for-an-eye was impractical if the goal is forward progress. I genuinely don’t see how, in modern society, you think people “can’t deny it is okay” to engage in cruelty for the sake of revenge. Like I can see why people feel that way, but you think literally everyone thinks that?

    I’m not even saying violence isn’t allowed or whatever. I do think that Hamas should be obliterated, probably with those bladed hellfire missiles. But what purpose does pointless cruelty ever serve?

      Something is wrong if you are resorting to “eye for the eye” phrase. Israel doesn’t do barbarian attacks like what has happened on October 7th. They at least have some experience and instruments for targeted attacks, that will let them avoid as many needless victims as possible. Palestinians are very different from that.

      Where exactly do you see pointless cruelty from Israel? Did you read the article or just the headline? No civillians were killed and the case is getting investigated as it should. This is not a massive case.

      This is not a revenge. This was a critical point when Israel found it can no longer defend passively against terrorists, so it’s obvious what will happen next.

          I’m referring to the OP article that we are commenting on. Are you high?

            You mean the OP that literally details the things you’re saying either aren’t atrocities or aren’t happening?

            Are you high?

              And I repeat.

              No civillians were killed and the case is getting investigated as it should. This is not a massive case.

                    You said no civilians were killed. Babies were killed. Ergo by your logic, babies don’t equal civilians.
