I will make this statement once more as I see people defending the bombing of Palestinians because of various reasons. I will not go into these reasons as they matter zero to my statement. Here it is:

You do not bomb your way through children to get at your target. Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin could be hiding amongst or beneath, you Do Not Bomb Your Way Through Children.

This is a simple fact and if you cannot agree with this then in my mind you are despicable and a monster. Vaporizing children into a red mist will never solve your problems. Past transgressions of your enemy does not change this simple fact. It really is that simple.

Yet I feel people here seem to forget this simple rule. Disgusting.

"This was intentional. You don't accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, 'It was a mistake,'" U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said in a social media post to President Joe Biden. "Genocidal maniac Netanyahu told us he wants to ethically cleanse Palestinians. When are you going to believe him, POTUS?"

Despite these staggering casualties—and Israel's forced displacement, starvation, and deprivation of millions of Gazans—the United States continues to support its top Middle Eastern ally with billions of dollars in arms and with diplomatic and political support including United Nations Security Council vetoes and genocide denial.

"How many times are we going to hear, it was a 'mistake' before we take serious action against Netanyahu?" U.S. Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) asked. "How does anyone justify his administration? Every single moment that we supply arms, send money, and make excuses makes us absolutely complicit in his barbaric war of death against Palestinians. Enough!"

"Biden's backing of Netanyahu's war is rooted in a hierarchy of human value, an empathy gap that perpetuates suffering, violence, and distrust," he added. "Cutting off American weapons is the only way to isolate Netanyahu to prevent further killing of women and children in what has become the largest slaughter of Palestinian civilians since Israel's founding in 1948."

You don't understand. Bob was gesticulating wildly while telling a really funny joke and he slipped and landed on the "murder civilians" button. We've asked him to be more subdued when telling jokes in the future.

Oh, a mistake, I see. We all make them, I spilled my coffee this morning, Netanyahu murdered 50 civilians and put 200 in the hospital, completely understandable. /s
