Israeli civilians are also just civilians.

he died from israel air strike 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, but is that his fault? It's disingenuous to disregard that Hamas was the ones that actually kidnapped him in the first place and from what I can recall they probably treated him very poorly.

And because I know this crowd: Does this in any way excuse the thousands of Palestinian civilian deaths? No, of fucking course not.

He is still a civilian and his death is as tragic as any other civilian death. He is still a fucking human that did absolutely nothing wrong, just like the Palestinian civilians.

not saying it his fault., why would it be his fault?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Just saying that his life matters regardless of his nationality. You and the other user seemed to think that Israeli civilians are somehow worth less.

Your reply and usage of the shrugging emoji seemed to imply that this death was his fault or that it didn't matter just because an Israeli airstrike was involved.

let me tell you what i implied, he wouldn't have died if israel wasn't a genocidal maniac. there you go.

Okay, and how is that relevant? Is it his fault or something?

I really don't get why you think it's relevant at all when we are talking about a civilian's death.

Some idiot said "who cares" about his death because apparently Israeli civilians don't deserve to live or something I dunno. I said that the victim was still a civilian.

And you essentially just shrugged. The only way I can interpret that is that you think Israeli civilian lives don't matter.

Please just fuck off, people like you just make everyone else believe that supporters of Palestine are bad people (or as they put it "Nazis") and that they think that Israel should be cleansed. I'm not saying you think that but you have a special ability to be a fucking idiot and say shit that some would possibly attribute to "Nazis".

TLDR: Just fuck off.

bruh, can't you read? i literally spelled it out for you. where did i say it his fault? WHERE? he wouldn't have died if his GOVERNMENT not actively doing genocide.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

show me where i say it his fault. show me where i say it didn't matter?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

You implied that here:

he died from israel air strike 🤷🏻‍♂️

I assume you know how to read and what that emoji means so I won't have to explain it to you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is a friendly fire incident where they killed one of their own... But what makes the news... The friendly fire... Nothing about the genocide is mentioned.

Israelis have to do military service. The civilians can sit and swivel too as far as I'm concerned.. Again.. Fuck israel!!!

It's not realistic to mention every single thing about the war in every single article.

I also don't like the situation but acting like that when innocent people die regardless of the victims country of origin, is just pathetic.

You don't even have to act sad, all you had to do was not being an asshole.
