phryk 🏴Sometimes, I'm downright glad I'm socially isolated.
There'd be no end to the amount of people I'd have to bitchslap for being either antisemitic or islamophobic right now… :F
PS: Fuck Hamas but keep a close eye on IDF operations.
shemeshgMany things that seem insensitive at first glance are actually reasoned and imply a critical thinking point of view.
However is not an operation, it is a war, with (currently) more than 700 civilians dead and 150 civilians kidnapped to the Gaza border – you might want to compare that with the 9/11 figures.
- IDF failed to identify the threat,
- Netanyahu dragged Israel in less than a year to judicial crises with bad ramifications over Israel’s intelligence, air force readiness for war, public confidence in the government’s motives being genuine and not sheer populist.
However, we need to get ready for things getting much worse, because this is only the first day of the war, and we don’t know if and when Hezbollah/Syria will step in.
I respect any opinion no matter how inconvenient it might resonant.
In the above, I forgot to mention 2000 casualties, terrorists still engaging fire with IDF troops inside Israel’s borders, and retaliation op yet to come.
So yes, things are going to get much worse.
@shemeshg I'm not talking about things that seem insensitive. I'm talking about people just picking a side and going "my side good, other side bad >:(".
Anyone seeing it this reductively demonstrably has no idea what they're talking about.
Primarily, I mean:
a) People celebrating IDF operations (I've already seen jokes about dead Palestinian children)
b) People believing that anybody not in support of Hamas must hate "The Palestinians™".
No one celebrates anything, Israel and Arab lives are interdependent with a delicate fabric. If it breaks, health services, some high-tech services will collapse. (and geopolitical etc...)
Only fake spreaders with populist agenda might celebrate death and slaughter of men, children and elders. I tend to believe most people are actually reasonable.
@shemeshg Most people are most assuredly *not* reasonable but I can live with us disagreeing there.
