Israel has a right to defend itself.
I'm sure they have a right to throw garbage at random civilians
Yeah, those dead babies were coming right at them.
There were secret Hamas tunnels under those babies!
Anyone has a right to defend themselves. Yet there is a very fine line between self defense and aggression.
If you punch the lights out to some idiot that is threatning you, you're defending yourself.
If the other guy drops to the ground and you kick their teeth out and then go find their family to do the same to them, that is aggression.
You mean like the Palestinian violent attacks against Israeli settlers in Hebron? Or are those attacks justified?
What I stated goes both ways: none of the parts involved can justify their actions at this point, both have blood on their hands and there is no true interest in making amends and settling differences for the sake of sparing lives and creating peace.
I don't get the point of trotting out this old chestnut. Is anyone arguing that Israel does not have the right to defend itself?
No. The concern is the manner and proportionality of the defense. Both of which are barbaric and over the top.
Palestine has a right to defend itself.
Palestinian civilians do not, then?
Okay Boomer.
Is it too late to say I forgot the /s?
Nah, not your fault. The sarcasm was quite obvious.
Nah, it sounded like a typical comment from a closed-minded Israel supporter so yeah too late.
Fuck Israel.
Lol and this is self defense how?
