15. Who's killing who with impunity exactly? Israel has killed over 25,000

The death toll for Israel has stopped at a fraction of that. 🤔

What you said doesn’t make sense to me. Imagine if I said this to you:

They seem to be looking for a "ceasefire" where Israel kills Palestinians with impunity, but Palestine is prohibited from responding

Neither narrative is true, and killing is simply killing regardless of how it is framed. Killing is the most primitive and barbaric form of discourse. Yet somehow it’s okay if “my side” is doing it? Or if they are killing massive amounts of people in retaliation? 🤔

It's a war Arazi Jan 2024 #17

it is at best unjustified asymmetrical warfare where the vast majority of deaths are civilians. ColinC Jan 2024 #21

Ok, two thumbs up. But how does Israel do that TexasDem69 Jan 2024 #75
