No, I'm making a joke about one of the most targeted strikes ever that had minimally civilian causalities. There has never ever been a war where not a single civilian got hurt by accident. But this was an attack where the % of civilians was extremely low.


Ah yes, people getting maimed, how funny.

Let's see how much you'll feel like joking if that lunatic Netanyahu drags us into WWIII.


It discriminated quite well. Don't buy your pagers from the same batch as Hezbollah.


Also audit your supply chain and make sure nothing is connected to Israel.


Yea, if you are running a terrorist organization you should probably do that.


*If you're running what they consider to be a terrorist organization.

There's almost never universal agreement on what that means. I stand by my statement.


There’s pretty universal agreement in this case.

Terrorist sympathizers will always claim that it’s not terrorism, but if it is, it’s justified.

October 7th was terrorism. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Israel has a right to exist. Naïve western liberals enable Hamas.


Many people argued the jewish led communist rebellions in interwar Germany were terrorism and responded in a similar way.

Again I stand by what I've written.


I’m sure you do.

You’re free to stand with a proscribed terrorist organization and a backwards unreformed religious and political system that hates Jews.

I’ll stand with the modern western liberal democracy against the terrorists.


For being pro liberal democracy your views are strikingly ethnocentric.


Only one of us stands with terrorists seeking the elimination of Jews.


If you label everyone in the other ethnicity terrorists you're doing the same thing.

But I guess that's too nuanced for you.


Hamas isn’t an ethnicity. Neither is Islam. Hating Jews isn’t an ethnicity either.


Did the Jewish led rebellions murder innocent concert goers in the most sadistic possible ways?


You realise that they had no control over who was near them when the exploded ?

There are multiple videos circulating of pagers exploding in grocery stores.

Is that discriminated ?


Yep, I saw those videos too. Someone standing less than a meter away from the target walked away unscathed. Extremely precise compared to the stoneage barbarians lobbing rockets from hospitals.

Is the genocide in the room with you right now?


[flagged]


There’s no genocide.

The Cambodian genocide that killed up to 2 million in a systematic purge?

At this point, anyone making a claim like yours should be ridiculed as a completely unserious person.


Is it the larger number that makes it genocide?

Cos they've got the "systematic" down pat.


No, it’d be the systematic part. You’re being absolutely ridiculous.


I'm being ridiculous? Right.

What definition of “genocide” are you using?

I’m not familiar with any existing definition that is applicable here, so I assume you must be using one I’m not aware of.


Thankfully you do not have to take my word for it, but rather that of the United Nations or Amnesty International.

How would you describe a complete blockade, razing cities to the ground, thousands of dead children ? A civilised and fair war ?


Yes. Look up how many German civilians were killed in WW2 sometime.

Hamas can stop the war they started anytime they want. Surrender.

There’s no room in modern secular society for an unreformed, backwards religion that melds the political, social, and religious states.

They can stop the war they started anytime they want. They won’t, because what they want more than peace is to eradicate Jews.
