The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Keep in mind she was a Lebanese refugee that lived through the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. I'm not condoning anything she said but she has a somewhat understandable view of the whole situation.

lived through the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel

And what about the conflict between actual Lebanon and what became Hezbollah?

So it justifies murdering children. Got it. We know where you stand!

Israel just murdered 200 children in 3 days, so far. Was that justified?

Oh, but they're Palestinian so they don't count. Otherwise people like you would have lost their minds decades ago.

When the Hamas murders children it's terrorism, it's an atrocity, it's inhuman (and I agree).

When the IDF murders children it's Tuesday.

It's on the news every day. And people like you couldn't care less.

Keep chewing on that nice Zionist propaganda. I choose humanity.

Why can't we condemn both?

Hamas committed atrocities and Israel has responded with atrocities. That doesn't make calling Hamas "freedom fighters" in this context any less deplorable.
