You'll soon see that nuance is dead on Lemmy. Hamas indubitably commits war crimes en masse, as does the IDF, but morons will only ever excuse those of Hamas, rather than condemning both sets of actions.
I think nuance goes out the door when tens of thousands of innocent civilians are butchered in the name of defense.
Hamas is bad, that doesn’t excuse Israel’s actions.
I don't agree. Neither the IDF nor Hamas fall under Geneva Convention (GC) protections because both have brazenly and repeatedly contravened it, thus excluding themselves under the GC's own stipulations. They are both doing sick shit and are both lending more fuel to each other's propaganda fires.
Oh so human rights just end when some armed folks feel like and that's all fine and dandy?
And why ought Palestinian civilians be subjected to the disregard of human rights that the IDF and even Hamas have? Sounds like you are thinking of the Palestinian people as interchangeable with Hamas, such as the people may be punished by their acts and they can't complain about it.
You speak of nuance but if anything you are erasing nuance. "Both sides bad so it's all fair". Nevermind relative civilian death tolls, infrastructure and household damage. Nevermind the whole history of this conflict going back decades.
Absolutely not, but when you insist on putting words in my mouth and then arguing with that straw man, there is little use in arguing. You are here to hold forth, not discuss.
International law, who needs it I guess? Seems to me like Israel doesn't need allies.
Speaking of "international law", what uniform do Hamas fighters wear?

Cool evasion bro. You're sure dedicated to the nuance you are calling dead.
