    I feel terrible for every citizen killed or made homeless/jobless because of this.

      Just a reminder: 82% of all the Israeli Jews support ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

      Just saying.

      I don’t. I only feel terrible for the ones who were opposed to these attacks on other countries. Most of them (if the statistics I’ve seen are to be believed) support the actions, so they deserve the consequences. Maybe these people dying horrifically will finally make others consider the value of lives.

      Fun fact: every citizen of the entity is considered a reservist so there ARE no civilians! If you’re a settler you’re a valid target no matter what!

        Idk man. If you’re a child, a unhoused, or a otherwise a person without the economic means to leave because your ancestors were settlers and you just so happened to be born in the colonized land, I’d consider you a civilian. I think your view is too black and white.

        Screw you if you’re a deliberate Zionist benefiting from genocide though.

          Israelis aren’t walled in and prevented from leaving like Palestinians are in Gaza.

          Israelis have no practical excuse to continue their occupation, especially when everyone is forced to serve in the IDF to actively aid the occupation rather than just passively.

        I don’t want to talk ethics, but as a rule of thumb, winning a war is easier if you take out strategic targets than if you target civilians. Targeting civilians is what you do if your weapons aren’t precise enough to target tanks/planes etc.

        As long as they are not on active duty, they shouldn’t be targets. And if they are forced to serve, they should still only be killed if they are an active threat. Normally, they should first be offered to surrender.

        Hope you’re acting ironic and do not actually call to genocide all Jews in Israel.

          No, but all Israelis that are zionists maybe.

          Zionists are not Jewish people, they are actually against Judaism.

          I believe it’s the Talmud that says Israel cannot exist until the messiah returns. This is why you have many religious Jews in the US against the state of Israel.

          Zionists are the one and only antisemites.

            Zionists are mostly Jews, but Jews are mostly not Zionists.

            But yes, according to Talmud, Israel shouldn’t exist.

              There are more Christian Zionists than there are Jews in total.

              “Zionists are mostly Jews” is an objectively false statement.

              Maybe specifically in Israel the statement could be seen as true, but that’s only because Israel is a jewish settler ethnostate, so most of almost any grouping would be a majority Jews.

          Blaming the government in power and those who put them in power for the actions taken by the government is totally reasonable.

          You’re suggesting well “what about a hypothetical government that doesn’t exist huh?”. That doesn’t matter. They don’t exist. Blame the government

            Every government before him was the same, they’re not ‘hypothetical’. Ridiculous argument.
            What doesn’t exist is a reality where the next government isn’t brutally mistreating Palestine.

            Israel didn’t become an apartheid genocidal occupation of Palestinian land under Netanyahu. It’s has been since its founding.

            You’re suggesting we close our eyes and pretend their entire history doesn’t matter, that we just blame the current figurehead and his (variable but typically increasingly few) direct supporters.

          The majority of Israelis supports the genocide of the Palestinians according to surveys and more than half of jewish Israelis support attacking Iran even without US support.

          Not ‘every’ land but I get the point.
          Still it doesn’t compare and there’s no excuse.
          In this case the colonising is still going on, hence the genocide.
          They are not ‘citizens’ but colonisers.
          They deserve all they get, what they don’t deserve is sympathy.

            I would disagree. If you go back far enough, every land has been stolen. There is probably no piece of land that hasn’t been held by multiple different groups over time.

            I’d also argue a government existing at all is stolen land. What gives them the right to the land, instead of the people using it as they want? At some point someone decided the land was theirs, and not someone else’s, and decided they could sell, lend, or use the land as they want, even if someone else also wanted to use it.

                  It’s not an unfortunate fait accompli like the US that eradicated the original inhabitants for instance.
