    a grape can be a deadly weapon under the right circumstances. that doesn’t mean it is one.

    you’re still being ridiculous.

    Head trauma is no joke is.

    yet you’re not dead. I rest my case.

            Kids throwing rocks at the people operating the open air concentration camp they’re detained in with the food, water, power, trade and movement restricted (at best) as Israel levels their homes, displaces and kills them? You’re right - I think there’s far bigger concerns than the kids throwing rocks.

            What do you think it says about you that you’d use a few kids throwing rocks as justification for shooting, shelling, bombing, and starving thousands of children, innocent civilians, and turning every building in the area into said rocks?

              I’m pretty sure kidnapping and killing thousands was the justification. Israel does detain people without charging them, but I find that the actual problem instead of the teenagers being charged with a crime in an actual court.

                So Israel’s response to Hamas’ actions (a group Israel propped up over moderate secular orgs for reasons that definitely don’t involve manufacturing pretext for the genocide of people they’re keeping in an open air concentration camp) was a reasonable, proportionate one that’s killed what - 18k so far, potentially tipping Israel over the “10k children killed since October” line?

                  No, it wasn’t quite as targeted as promised. Both sides can be in the wrong

                    See, that’s the thing with genocide - it’s targeted - it just doesn’t care about civilians. When Israel is responsible for Hamas, both sides are wrong, but not in a remotely comparable way.

                    Of course, Israel is getting a little too trigger happy by genocidal standards too, killing shirtless Israelis, speaking Hebrew, waving white flags, after a ceasefire was called - and this is what they’re admitting to. The fact that Israel is killing journalists and barring access lets Israel get away with plenty.
