unfortunately when you put militants inside civilian infrastructure you turn it into a legal target. This is true.
Hamas regularly put tunnel networks under civilian infrastructure and used hospitals and schools to store weapons and operate out of. This is true
Hamas use war deaths as propaganda, we know this because they say so, we also know this because they could have sheltered civilians and they chose not to.
If you attack a population they are likely to attack back and try to ensure you are not in a position to repeat the attack. This is also true.
You may start a fight with an adversary which is better armed and more competent than you. This is true.
Your responsibility is for your own people, the people you attack should not seek to harm civilian populations but equally it is not responsible for their wellbeing. You are. This is true.
There is blindspot with many in regards to the Gaza war and it’s entirely ideological. Iran killed the same number of dead in Gaza within a few days. They were all civilians, this is not the case in Gaza. Yet we didn’t see the same outpouring for dead Iranian children a few weeks ago. I’ve followed both and god knows it hurt my heart to see Gazan children dead or with amputated limbs, it hurt my heart to see the pictures of Israeli children who had been murdered and it hurt my heart to see mums and dad in Iran weeping over their children.
The sad reality is there are people who only seem to care about children when they think Jews or americans may have killed them. We see this with the crying over the death of Khomeini, a man who was responsible for the deaths of many children, he contributed to the purposeful barrel bombing of children in Syria for example, yet no outrage against him. Indeed people like Mothin Ali are going to vigils for the old bastard.
We have ideology masquerading as morality and it is grotesque. Theres no point in trying outrage on me, I’m not a racist so it just doesn’t work.
