    When even an invader tells you to knock it off, you might be the bad guy.

      When Russia, Turkey, Hamas, and Iran condemn you, I find little reason to believe their collective arguments.

      https://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-turkey-hamas-and-others-blast-israels-killing-of-terror-chief-nasrallah/

      Russia also criticized Israel for killing Nasrallah, with a statement from the country’s foreign ministry saying it “decisively condemn[s] the latest political murder carried out by Israel” and “once again insistently urge[s] Israel to immediately cease military action.”

      Rich coming from the guy who failed to assassinate Zelensky. This really puts all this into perspective for me.

        At this point none of the countries listed have killed as many children as Israel.

        They’re objectively morally better than Israel.

          Considering Hamas hid behind them (and Palestinian civilians), I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion.

            It’s funny how many times Israel made that excuse only to turn out that there were no Hamas members in the vicinity when they made those attacks. Even so, that’s no justification for the indiscriminate killing of civilians that Israel does on a daily basis.

              I find none of this funny. And I’m similarly finding no justification for hiding behind civilians.

              At least I know what side Russia and Turkey are on, and that’s incredibly telling information to me.

                I find none of this funny.

                Then why are you spreading known lies and using it to justify war crimes and human rights violations?

            Either Hamas makes up 100% of the population or Israel yet again is lying. I think the latter is more likely, given they a far right fascist ethnostate.

              This appears to be a clear false dichotomy to me (and wildly speculative opinion), there is obvious room between those two positions, and I won’t respond to what I consider bad faith discussion.

              Have a good day!

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma

              A false dilemma, also referred to as false dichotomy or false binary, is an informal fallacy based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available. The source of the fallacy lies not in an invalid form of inference but in a false premise. This premise has the form of a disjunctive claim: it asserts that one among a number of alternatives must be true. This disjunction is problematic because it oversimplifies the choice by excluding viable alternatives, presenting the viewer with only two absolute choices when, in fact, there could be many.
