It’s an Absolutely Terrifying Night in Gaza Right Now

The natural world is chaotic and violent, so that means we as thinking humans who know what it is to suffer pain and the loss of loved ones, must not only add to that violence and chaos but also devise new, sophisticated ways of inflicting suffering. But also don't forget that we're better and more civilized than animals. /s

Oh thank god it is so good to see someone who understands.

Cease-fire is the best we’ve got. MAD is why small animals have the instinct to fight bigger animals. It’s why pufferfish exist. Nature, unconsciously, groks deterrence and programs it into 100% of her evolved organisms.

This speaks to your warped sense of what justice really is, and I pity those around you for how that must affect them as you go through life bleeding your vindictiveness onto others.

The problem with those who are both shameless and arrogant is that they lack the self-awareness and empathy to put themselves in the shoes of others. May the universe show you the same level of mercy that you seem inclined to grant to others...

If a dog bit a person and that person went to the pound and just kicked all the dogs, is sort of what you're cheering for

Innocents being killed is not justice, it's genocide.

You're right, I guess this is just the genocide we had to have.

/s

It is errors in justice that make wars grow.

An excellent example of an error in justice is killing the people next to the people who attacked you. This conflict continues because there’s no clean line connecting an attacker to the retaliation back against that attacker.

What exactly is justice in context of a war?

Whoever wins.

The war will end when there are no sides left.

Which is... either when everyone decides to put their differences aside... or when the last man standing finally dies, all tales get forgotten, and all written records destroyed, so nobody can ever pick any of the sides again. They'll likely pick a different set of sides again, but that will be a different war 🤷

Ukraine attacking Russia was a lie, Israel ethnic cleansing Palestine is reality.

I got temp banned from lemmy.ml for saying that. Basically said "except Ukraine didn't attack Russia first", then got the banhammer. A quick Google on their point (cant even remember what it was) and I knew it was bullshit. I blocked lemmy.ml right after

I mean... yeah if you count back to the time after Hamas's creation.

why do you think Hamas exists at all lol?

Bullcrap. Israel has been invading Palestine since 1949.

I take it you think this "war" started when Hamas attacked them this year?

Israel has been occupying Palestine for decades.

You know as well as anyone that this has NOTHING to do with Hamas.

Their strategy of indiscriminate bombing would not be the answer if they wanted to kill Hamas only. There's absolutely no regard for civilians here. They're not destroying Hamas. They're eradicating the population of Palestine. Anyone who lives will rightly join Hamas and after this, honestly I can see why.

Behavioral/policy similarity doesn't necessarily imply an alliance or partnership compatibility.

Maybe take a look at the agreements between Russia and Israel about Sirya. Welcome to the real world btw.

Evil cunts are hypocrites?? What? Omg

They support Hamas to keep attention off the Ukrainian invasion.

Israel invade Palestine just as Russia do Ukraine...but somehow more inhumanely

MAD isn't a threat? I thought that was the whole point

.ca never fails to come up with the worst dogshit opinions.

Ukraine is way larger than Gaza, the EU has let millions of refugees in... and still Russia has leveled several Ukrainian cities to the ground, with soldiers shooting random civilians on the streets.

Right now, Russia is like Israel and Hamas put together, the only reason they've killed fewer civilians, is they couldn't find more.

Whatever helps you and your coscience sleep my dear.

Invading a sovereign nation, killing innocents, bombing schools, hospitals, residential areas, forcefully relocating people, land grabbing, spreading dehumanizing propaganda, threatening to use nukes...

It is exactly the same thing what both Hamas and Israel have been doing.

Haven't seen the results of Russia's artillery barrages in cities like Bahkmut? A similar barrages I'm Gaza would flatten every building.

The Hamas and IDF aligned telegram channels have both been remarkably consistent about cheering when about our munitions landing in their territory and decrying the reverse.

AIens lock the doors on their flying saucers when they drive past Earth

Or that just means we're not evolved enough yet

That's sorta true, but like cats and ants aren't exactly sentient lol. They don't commit war crimes and genocide because they can.

Also maybe a space faring species has no issues with war with how much... space there is lol.

Aw who am I kidding, its probably just like Elite Dangerous free for fall

Yeah, just look up grabby aliens

Don't forget Tokyo! Those we're all war crimes interestingly enough.

Oddly the siege of Gaza may very well fall into that category with the amount of ordinance that's been dropped, although the terminology would likely be different due to the guided aspect.

Carpet bombing of cities, towns, villages, or other areas containing a concentration of civilians is considered a war crime[5] as of Article 51 of the 1977 Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions.[6][7][8]
The term obliteration bombing is sometimes used to describe especially intensified bombing with the intention of destroying a city or a large part of the city. The term area bombing refers to indiscriminate bombing of an area and also encompasses cases of carpet bombing, including obliteration bombing.

Perhaps it might even get it's own unique term someday. I do find it quite similar from what I'm reading on the first instance of carpet bombing though, the bombing of Barcelona

Along with the variance of the times between each individual attack, this had a demoralizing effect on the civilian population, which suffered prolonged anxiety quite out of proportion to the number of bombs dropped over a long period of time. Coupled with the fact that there was little discernible military value in the choice of targets within the city, and the cessation of the attacks for no apparent reason

Edit: sorry meant to add this as well

The Italian bombers dropped 44 tons of bombs.[7] Rather than aiming at military targets, the Italians intended to destroy industrial areas of the city and demoralize the Republican side, in what some authors have described as the first aerial carpet bombing in history.[1] Their targets and declared objectives were military warehouses, arms factories, trains with soldiers, and the port, but civil buildings, cinemas, consulates, and theatres were also hit or destroyed during the bombing.[8]
