Have you ever seen a press conference held by children to try and convince the world to see them as human? I haven't. Neither have I seen pictures and videos of so many dead and mutilated children with such frequency.

@timnitGebru this reminds me of Miss Besieged Sarajevo during the war in Bosnia:

@timnitGebru Hamas has weaponized human reproduction. Average age in Gaza is 18. Soldiers placed under schools. Mosques. Hospitals.

Those monsters knew this would happen if they poked Israel hard enough. They KNEW.

Are the Israelis being monstrous? Yes

But they're not the only ones.

And an ethicist should KNOW THAT.

@DanaBlankenhorn @timnitGebru And Netanyahu knew, and invited Oct. 7. He WANTED Hamas to counterbalance more moderate Palestinians and cause enough violence to prevent the rest of the world from pressuring Israel into a two state solution. I'm not defending Hamas, but when someone imports a wolf, starves the wolf, beats the wolf, and then sets the wolf loose in the village schoolyard, you might need to shoot the wolf, but you probably should shoot the guy who created the wolf, too.
@msbellows @timnitGebru I'm not arguing with you on that. Netanyahu and the Israeli right are as much at fault here as Hamas.
