So are 3000 Palestinian children.
This may come as a surprise to some whataboutists, but it turns out that multiple things can all be senseless tragedies at the same time.
Yeah, but one's 3000 times worse.
Leftists are such cannibals with their pity points maths. Reprehensible.
"pity points maths," AKA logic.
They're all fucking innocent, you monsters.
True, but the 3000 Palestinian children don't get a whole series of articles for each individual one. They're just a number, and apparently a meaningless one, given the ferocity of attacks by the Israeli government that has no limit when it comes to "retaliation".
Yeah how dare people naturally gravitate towards emblemizing a specific victim who's name and face randomly surfaces past the rest early on as a representation of the ongoing crisis!
Nobody's stopping you from writing an article about any of those 3000 kids if you care that much that someone else got spotlight coverage.
Because the number three thousand is probably made up by Hamas. Hamas also doesn't have a register of the young people they draw into their cause.
They also don't first get the names of all the people living in an apartment complex before they start stockpiling guns there and start shooting rockets from there.
Because they don't care for their names. They care for the fact that they can control international support by having a high number of civilian deaths.
In your opinion, how many women and children died?
But that article is particularly about her.
Same children whose shoulders Hamas used to prop up their guns while firing as Israeli soldiers?
No, the ones bombed by the IDF.
Has anyone on Lemmy ever read about Hamas before a month ago? Hiding bombs and murderers behind children is what the world knows of them. It's fact. Cute watching you all catching up on the conflict in 15 minutes.
How many people defending Israel now have read about their funding and support for Hamas? Netenyahu's government supports the most extreme of the militant groups within Gaza purposely to keep Palestine divided. Even his supporters in Israel are aware of and critique this fact.
is there further reading on this? I know in the past Israel sent material to Hamas (Governor's of Gaza) in attempts to curtail rocket attacks
Here is one op-ed article from the Times of Israel about the topic: For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
Washington Post article from 2014: How Israel Helped Create Hamas
Thank you for the articles
Whataboutism. My comment did nothing of the sort
Hiding bombs and murderers behind children is what the world knows of them. It’s fact.
Really cuz I've been asking for evidence for 3 weeks and nobody has bothered to link even a single source with 3rd party confirmation.
Edit: Literally since Israel bombed the AP building 2 years ago I have never gotten a single source in response. Nobody even tries.
Here is an analysis of this Hamas strategy by the NATO:
Since 2007 per your peer comment https://stratcomcoe.org/publications/hybrid-threats-hamas-use-of-human-shields-in-gaza/87
Yeah the "Hamas using kids as human shields" thing has been tried and true IDF propaganda for years.
Hamas operations in Gaza aren't taking place from military sites, because THEY DO NOT EXIST. Israel will not allow them, because why the fuck would they??
Gaza is an open air prison that is incredibly densely populated. With no area ever possibly being cordoned off for military actions, where would one recommend they do these things from? You live in a prison, you work with that you have.
They're not using human shields, they're just launching their attacks from the only options that exist to them.
A prison of their own making, mind you.
Are you saying that Israel, the occupying, is not responsible for the suffering of the country they occupied?
