    YDI, the article was about the use of human shields and in addition to that, you have also have been spouting a lot of pro-Israel bullshit when they are currently participating in a genocide. Also blatantly encouraging violence. Doesn’t look good on you, this is a classic case of bellyaching over being censored for encouragement of violence. In all honesty probably should’ve been a permanent ban, might end up becoming one since you decided to go and post shit here.

    Context OP chose not to show, which displays blatant pro-israel sentiment:

    As well as one of their statements encouraging violence:

      Being pro-Israel is besides the point. I am anti-violence first and foremost. That calling for violence bs is actually the opposite. I am mocking the absurdity of using violence when it is giving them zero benefit at horrible cost. Imagine thinking ‘speak up at the UN’ is a call for violence.

    YDI, the article was about Israeli use of human shields.

    ???

    Making up shit? How isn’t it exactly what you wrote?

    You literally are defending the use of human shields.

      They defend Israel constantly. I wouldn’t waste your time, but if you’re going to I want you to at least know what you are getting into

        I mean… He was literally defending using human people as mine detectors.

        I realized what scum I was responding to, just wanted to make it clear what he was saying to people who weren’t really paying attention to the posts he made

      That is not a defence of human shields. There are 2 war crimes being described in that article and you’re only allowed to talk about the one.

    You didn’t even say it was bad to use human shields at any point. Now I don’t think you should be banned for it but it says a lot about your ethical standards and what it says is not good.

      They constantly defend Israel. They know what they are doing

        Absolutely! I just imagine that people want to be morally and intellectually consistent, so I think it’s important to point out when they are not.

        Of course maybe they think Hamas using “human shields” is fine too? Doubt it but at least that wouldn’t be hypocritical

      I don’t need to. It is obviously implied by pointing out booby-trapping will harm palestinian civilians.

        So you do denounce the IDF for using human shields? It’s unclear when you seem to only focus on the portion of the blame that lies with Hamas

          It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

          Jeopardizing civilian lives, either by placing booby-traps or using them as shields are both warcrimes.

          My stance has always been that all the violence is BS. I just hate that lemmy.world blatantly gives Hamas a pass.

            A metaphor.

            You in this thread:

            both sides are committing war crimes but in only complaining about one, how don’t you get that I’m mad at both of them!

            You in that thread:

            Yeah guys! I’m just saying ALL LIVES MATTER so why are all these BLM people mad?

            I’m just saying why are black people getting a pass?

            You, unironically.

            It’s a poor metaphor because the genocide being committed intentionally is worse

            It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

            If it only required a “basic” understanding why would so many people have been making the same point to you?

            If a headline says “x group did a crime” and someone responds “y group are criminals” it is not at all obvious what this person’s stance on x group is. If anything this reads like a deflection onto y group, so someone might infer that the responder supports x group or at least is more concerned about y group.

            If the person says “yes, x group did do a crime but let’s not forget y group are criminals too” then it is super clear what this person means. If you omit a response to the actual topic at hand you have no place getting mad when people assume you don’t care about that.

      I don’t think they’ll want him either, unless they’re pro israel and support violence against others. In which case probably shouldn’t be giving them attention.
