Quote where they denied genocide.
I'm not defending them. I'm pointing out your shit reasoning.
Are you 15 years old and trying to sound edgy and trendy? Are all your friends keyboard activists and you're feeling peer-pressured into typing nonsense?
Dismissing HD footage of people that are clearly civilians being bombed, as propaganda.
You've presumably seen my evidence at this point - where's the evidence justifying the execution of these people? Or is it Hamas (and a death sentence) until proven innocent?
You keep using that word 'evidence', but you are absolutely clueless what it means.
I could tell you that those men are russian soldiers about to rape another child in Ukraine, and would have as much merit as that clip shared on twitter.
There's no proof of time, location, intention, identity etc. etc.
This is facebook-mom levels of nonsense.
'HD footage', you're even parroting the nonsense terms you learned from your peers.
Talking about 'until proven innocent', why are you automatically assuming the Israeli is at fault here? Where's the trial? Are you an anti-semite? Is this a race thing (again)?
You have no fucking clue who the targets were, how long have they been under surveillance, what they were doing, where they were going. This video is literally rage bait for facebook moms and teen-keyboard-activists. Share it so people think you're cool.
A video CAN work as evidence, but it has to bo supported by a million other things. Saying otherwise dismisses all the hard work people are actually doing ivestigating each and every single warcrime and potential warcrime.
I can make a video of you torturing a puppy with a "I can't believe..." headline in 30minutes if you want. But it wouldn't be proof, nor evidence that it's you, that it's now, etc.
Jesus, thanks for making me spell it out for you...
So I'll throw you a bone - here's the most Israel-friendly source possible - The Times of Israel reporting on the IDF admitting it was them..
Again, clearly civilians - we'll need evidence to the contrary - particularly when 60%-70% of the Palestinians killed have been children. Guess they were Hamas too, right?
Did you read what whas said in that article, or...?
You have yet to quote where the other person denied genocide, or was even slightly racist.
You haven't even denied you're an anti-semite ("clearly"). Stop defending hamas!!!! /s
Also, you highlighted perfectly, perfectly how videos like this have no merit. One side says they're civilians, the other - terrorists. And it's absolutely will not be known until this is investigated properly, not by keyboard warriors and facebook moms, but by people who matter.
Yep - the IDF said they killed them, so you'll be falling back from that dumb position to the next one - they were Hamas (like all those kids) I'll let you point out the evidence that's the case.
When 60%+ of the people you're killing are children and you're spouting openly genocidal rhetoric while making unsubstantiated claims those you're killing are terrorists, it's responsible to ask for evidence from the perspective of the rule of law (remember when you got all salty about that) and assessing warcrimes. You don't get to bomb someone, just say they're a terrorist, and walk free.
Ah yes - kill 'em all and (fail to) find the evidence to justify killing them later.
...but you care about genocide the rule of law, right?
Sigh... We're going in circles. You're hopless. I'm done.
Yep - right back around to confirming what you got butthurt about - your disregard of the rule of law, and genocide denial. Difference is that we know it's both rather than an either/or now.
Who's "we", you and other facebook nutjobs? I'm fine with that. You guys seem to "know" things all the time.
You and I. Do you struggle broadly with reading comprehension, or does your brain dribble out your ear only when talking about Israel and things like the rule of law?
I'm just taking your word on your positions - it seems you've made them pretty clear.
You're literally just a catchphrase parrot. I hope you get the attention you so desperately seek.
You're just repeating nonsense with your ears plugged. Over and over, so you feel better about the atrocities that are happening in Gaza. You think that repeating things that have absolutely no merit, somehow helps the people of Gaza. Sadly you being a keyboard activist on a random ass videos, that have no shred of credibility, and pressing "like" on facebook posts does absolutely fuck-all.
You can call me racist and a denier, in the end, I don't give a shit about your opinion. You're a person who is just reacting to bright colours and loud souds, a Karen who would call the cops on a black man standing around, because it's "clearly" "evidence" of a crime.
Please, don't hesitate to continue to repeat the same things over and over, it's rather entertaining. Lemmy needs engagement. I'll play along.
Literally, a pigeon on a chessboard...
