Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You’re wrong.

Legitimate military targets include: armed forces and persons who take part in the fighting; positions or installations occupied by armed forces as well as objectives that are directly contested in battle; military installations such as barracks, war ministries, munitions or fuel dumps, storage yards for vehicles, airfields, rocket launch ramps, and naval bases.

Hamas put those people and babies in danger when they set up barracks and munitions there.

You don’t get to just shoot shit out of a hospital and expect the opposing force to sit there with their thumb up their ass.

I'll remember this next time you're in any kind of hostage situation. I'll tell the cops to fire away, you're obviously cool with it.

This is not a hostage situation. It’s a war.

And what do you suppose the doctors and immobile patients and anyone else stuck in the hospital do? Kindly ask Hamas to leave? They're stuck, and for all intents and purposes are hostages of Hamas, as basically everyone in the Gaza strip has been for decades because they're not allowed to leave.

That's true, that's why IDF is so reckless with their bombing, completely ignore the safety of the hostage.
