    I love how people refer to hamas as if it isnt literally the civil government in gaza

    This is like someone saying some guy was a leader of the cia because they did a presentation at a public school, the government run school system.

    Even if he had been a literal sergeant in the Palestinian army, if he isnt currently fighting the war, hes not a valid fucking target. Holy shit.

      90+ percent of Israeli October 7 casualties were (ex) IDF soldiers but don’t you dare ever bring that up.

          If you would apply the same standards which Westerners hold to kill Palestinians to Israelis they would surpass the valid target treshold a hundred times over.

          According to Western logic yeah if you apply that consistently. Obviously this is inhumane but that’s Zionist logic.

            They can refuse, there’s a new post kinda every day of some Israeli teenagers going to jail because they refuse to be complicit in genocide.

            Not every German was a Nazi and not every Israeli is a Zionist I think that’s important to mention, but the majority of Israelis are genocidal maniacs at this point who served in a genocidal colonial army and they’re proud of their service.

            And Palestinians are locked in a concentration camp. So some are using their right to violently resist occupation. Palestinians literally joining the armed wing of Hamas is more morally defensible than Israelis being an IDF conscript.
