Hamas/Israel conflict: news and discussion

[Raheem]

For sure.

But is someone who kills 100 babies recklessly, more evil than someone who kills 10 on purpose?

You make a weird maths teacher.

 

[Spymaster]

Maybe you were struggling for a word. Maybe not.

Perhaps.

The point though, is there's a difference, no matter how slight you perceive it to be (and that will depend on your broader position).

He's the only poster here who has made an arithmetical discovery

There's nothing "reckless" about a state wilfully denying an entire population their physiological needs. That's a deliberate war crime and one that you attempted to justify.

Two on the same day, iirc.

But what do you think?

I don't fucking know, how would I?

Point?

The videos speak for themselves.

Unlike you apparently.

still no mention of beheadings

You could have said you believe the babies were killed by hamas. Or that it was a vile lie. Or you couldn't say based on the information available.

The words ‘cut off their heads’ mean something different to you?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Unlike you apparently.

You’ve clearly not been paying attention.

 

[Pickman's model]

The words ‘cut off their heads’ mean something different to you?

And what are the preceding words in the article?

Fuck me you're one to talk.

The article quotes an IDF officer saying "cut some of their heads".

He might not have been brought up speaking English, tbf, but it's not totally clear what he means.

As I read the article they mean the bodies were mutilated post mortem. Which isn't quite the same

 

[bcuster]

wut?

Phew!

another liberty incident

on the USS Gerald Ford? not likely...

I tend to avoid making toxic remarks like this about people on here these days. Life’s just too damn short.

No indeed, you're quite happy to toxify the thread with bollocks but at least you're not nasty to other posters.

 

[donkyboy]

You don't think this, from a respected French journalist, is likely to be true?

<Translated from the tweet Kid_Eternity posted, last post on page 44.>

Lets wait for official independent confirmation. After all, we were initially led to believe Hamas attacked a peace festival when it was nothing of the sort.

Indeed. Although then definition of independence might end up being debated. For example if the bbc says it has happened how many will actually believe that?

Thank you for repeating my point to me

 

[Raheem]

Phew!

If your moral position turns on comparative massacre analysis, this ought to make a significant difference.

The master criminal always makes one fatal error...

If your moral position turns on comparative massacre analysis, this ought to make a significant difference.

And if yours doesn't, it shouldn't.

 

[Raheem]

And if yours doesn't, it shouldn't.

It doesn't.

Any comforting sign that this is a situation about goodies and baddies is bound to turn out illusory in the end.
