Israel does seem to have a track record of bombing hospitals, though...
I don't doubt that. This is not me defending Israel. This is me trying to figure out what's actually happening.
This is you defending Israel though.
I'm defending facts and reason. It has nothing to do with allegiance to either side despite what many seem to be suggesting here.
Classic hand-wringing. Like saying "we don't know if the earth is flat or not" despite more than enough evidence to the contrary
Well, look, we're all just a bunch of assholes on the internet. We can pretend like we have the answers but we don't. What I can say with some certainty is that Israel has a track record of bombing hospitals and the hospital that was bombed in this case had already been bombed before by Israel. You can take from that what you will.
I just don't feel like I need to have a strong opinion about this particular incident at the moment, with the limited information available. Even if it turns out that it, infact, was Hamas rocket, that still doesn't make Israel the good guys here. There's plenty to criticize them (aswell as Hamas/Palestine) for but this isn't about that. I'm a fucking idiot who barely can wrap their head around the Russia - Ukraine conflict. I don't even want to pretend to be some kind of an expert on the Israel - Palestine situation. I have my opinions but those are irrelevant, nuanced and loosely held.
And yet you keep posting and posting and posting about it. Curious.
I keep replying to users like you. So far 100% of them are from Hexbear or Lemmygrad. Curious.
So far lemm.ee liberals like you are insufferable Redditbrained douchebags. Curious.
How's that working out for you my dude? Did internet leftists actually fire the missile? Do you expect to find an official statement by Hamas or the IDF posted here any time soon? What possible research are you doing by posting here?
Fucking pointless.
This is a public forum and I'm just voicing my honest opinion. If that makes you angry or uncomfortable you can just block me and be done with it.
well, this is an open forum and I am just asking you questions. Why didn't you answer them?
