The pattern is becoming clear: whether it’s Bernie, Porter, or this grifter, the far left is campaigning on a solid anti-Israel platform.

@TruthSandwich@sfba.social What you seem to be missing is that 33% of all buildings in Gaza have been destroyed with US bombs by the IDF.
@theothersimo@mastodon.social
Ok, and why is that? Could Israel have targeted just military buildings and avoided civilian ones? Or did Hamas blur any such distinction by using homes, schools, and hospitals as military command centers? Hint: it’s the latter, and it constitutes a war crime.
@TruthSandwich@sfba.social Hamas didn’t invent guerilla warfare, and pretending that it’s something new is almost as gross as justifying leveling entire neighborhoods because there might be a Hamas hiding in one of the buildings. Do you think the Irgun didn’t hide themselves among the civilian population? The Stern Gang?
Should the UN have leveled Tel Aviv after the assassination of Bernadotte, because any given building might have Lehi hiding in it?

It’s not new: terrorism is old. But talking about other things doesn’t change this one.
No country is going to let a thousand people get slaughtered by terrorists and just shrug it off. The goal of the 10/7 massacre was to start a war, and it worked.
@TruthSandwich@sfba.social depopulating entire cities and willfully rendering them uninhabitable isn’t war, it’s genocide. This is 1% self defense and 99% opportunistic ethnic cleansing.
@theothersimo@mastodon.social
No, it’s Hamas throwing the Gazans under the bus.
@TruthSandwich@sfba.social the existence of militants within a civilian population does not justify indiscriminate extermination of that civilian population. It didn’t in Vietnam, it didn’t in Mosul, it didn’t in Grozny, it didn’t in Aleppo, it didn’t in Mariupol, and it does not in Rafah. A month from now, Gaza will be more thoroughly destroyed than any of those (north Gaza already is).
@theothersimo@mastodon.social
Then Hamas has gotten what it wanted.
(Salvaged response that would have been lost due to their block.)
The Gazan Palestinians have the misfortune of being ruled by a terrorist government which commits massacres that lead to retaliation.

@TruthSandwich@sfba.social I could shoot a Palestinian child in the middle of fifth avenue and it would be Hamas’s fault.
We’re done here.
