You really think we treat Puerto Rico like how Israel treats the West Bank?

You're really determined not to answer the question asked, aren't you?

[regexcellent]

He's also not willing to answer how it was different when the ~marines~ did it in Iraq. (which was, for those following at home, an occupied territory)

[Felch]

No. They're using far more effective airstrikes. 78 Palestinian civilians have been killed, including 22 children.

You'd have to be a lunatic to not think there's something wrong with that.

You're right. IDF is reporting 860 sites hit, and 85 Palestinians have died. If the Israelis are trying to kill Palestinians, they're doing a really crappy job of it.

[dannubis]

Irrelevant. Replace it with Puerto Rico if it makes you feel better though.

No completely relevant.

[Sava]

It always amazes me when people try to defend the indefensible.

[Fake Boris]

It's a consequence of Hamas setting up military targets in civilian areas and telling the civilians to ignore IDF warnings. Proportionality would require the IDF to randomly target civilian areas just because and not for any real military purpose.

And this is just... what they do!!!

this is a typical, and typically dishonest, zionist trope. the israelis drop the bombs which kill the civilians, yet somehow the zionists have convinced themselves that it's not the fault of those dropping the bombs. it's a remarkable exercise in self-deception.

Just out of curiosity, what alternative solution does Israel have?

Also, do you think it's Israel's goal to kill as many civilians as possible? Do you think Hamas tries to kill as many civilians as possible?

[Sava]

Two wrongs make a right.

[Felch]

Sava knows what I'm talking about. It's why we punish people who commit crimes. We could just let murderers go unpunished, but then what's to stop them from killing more victims?

[Sava]

Murderers should be punished... regardless if they fly a star of david or crescent

[Felch]

Well the IDF is at least taking care of half that equation.

[Sava]

Psychos and murderers killing murderers and psychos.

That's all this is. There are no moral good guys here.

[Felch]

Israel has 600 M109 howitzers and 48 M270 MLRSs. If the IDF were really a bunch of psychos and murderers, if they were playing by the same rules as Hamas, there wouldn't be anybody alive in the Gaza Strip.

So if I seem skeptical of your moral equivalency, it's because you're completely full of ****.
