They always hide behind how "complex and nuanced" the situation is while proving themselves to be unable to grasp the nuance of something being complex historically but simple morally.
Keeping it complex in their head probably helps to rationalize an evil thing as being "Cool and Good" to support. How can it be genocide if its viewed as being too nuanced to fully understand?
Ah yes, carpet bombing one of the most densely populated regions in the world with an average age of 18 is morally ambiguous because those children are directly responsible for migrations made by their great grandparents who are now dead because of the last round of carpet bombing.
tbf It is a complex issue for them, because they want to be able to openly support genociding brown people, but also want to look like the victim in all this.
every time it's because they haven't actually done any research
I mean seriously get into conversation with them and watch how fast they run out of things to say once you mention anything that happened before 2020... They have severe historical amnesia. That is what it means be a liberal.
Fuck I hate this, every male refugee over the age of 10 is just an adult male pretending to be a child and so obviously doesn't deserve to get to safety, and if they are killed, they deserved it because they were obviously military age
Even if it was true, even military aged males deserve to live and be safe, you murderous ghouls
Murdering children is an interesting loaded term, as it implies the intent is to kill the children. It isn't, so grow up. Children die because hamas hides among them.
*Israel kills them
So if you want to blame anyone, blame hamas. If you have a better suggestion for how to kill hamas, without collateral damage, or needlessly endangering IDF personal, please feel free to offer it.
Hamas is exploiting the children in our prison colony by also being in the prison with them, that's EVIL, they should simply buy a home somewhere else and move like I did
Motherfucker, that's what armies are for! It's so cool how this is such a moral and just fight on the part of the Israelis, but boots on the ground is a non starter.
To be clear, I obviously don't want that, I just find it interesting that any war the US is involved in, is one where they are now using other nations people to be sent to the meat grinder. There has never been honor in war, but they can't even pretend from their planes as they drop more bombs on an open air concentration camp than the US did in iraq
This has been said before, but the term Stockholm Syndrome comes from a psychologist not understanding why the hostages correctly identified the behavior of the police as needlessly escalating the danger hostage situation.
The complexity is that yes bombing children is bad but have you considered that we really want there to be a glorified military base in the middle east
The situation is more nuanced than that. The children are young Thanos, Voldemort, The Joker, and Stalins. They're from the multiverse. The bombs are a patronus used by Captain America and Israeli Batman. If we don't stop them then they will use the infinity hallows to end the rules based order.
"You idiot rubes don't understand the high IQ move of killing civilians...thus bringing more people to join Hamas."
They don't believe in bad tactics, they believe in bad targets. Since Israel is a lapdog to US interests, has gone from blaming the Jews for everything to putting them as honorary whites for the time being.
Cool. Cool. But have you considered that you should maybe shove the tube of a vacuum cleaner all the way down your throat and then turn the vacuum cleaner on? Unless you want to prove yourself completely oblivious to the complexity of the situation.
It's always such a nuanced situation when the side you're rooting for is committing atrocities, especially when they admit and proclaim them. The mental gymnastics have got to be akin to a running jump onto a trampoline and then straight into a wall where thought just stops. There really isn't any argument that can be made in support of massacring a captive population that is entirely at your mercy just for daily survival.
Someone said on twitter that Israel can no longer refer to "The Holocaust", but now only "a holocaust".
It is complicated, just not how they want it to be. Violence indeed bad, but fighting against oppressors good. The palestinians fighting against the IOF and thereby leading to "civilian" (can't really be a civilian if you're actively participating in settler-colonialism) deaths getting caught in the crossfire. This is sad, but unavoidable in the fight against oppression and as such, not bad.
Tada! Complications! Just not how reddit want it.
