(13,283 posts)But I prefer to take the word of someone who can back it up with solid evidence over someone's personal recollection whose accuracy could not be and was never verified. Surely a totally unreasonable preference from your viewpoint, but a far more sensible one. Feel free do disagree and put your trust into the entity which actually facilitates the killings and the propaganda surrounding them, the entity that wouldn't even discern between military and civilian casualties. And while I may be startled by your choices, they don't create in me a sense of obligation. They are entirely yours, whatever the impressions they may create. You will have to take ownership of them, not me.
Your histrionic descriptions of scenes of carnage do not even come close to the real thing: they amount to nothing more than conspicuous displays of performative outrage at the times that best suit your predispositions. Far be it from you to lecture anyone on the subject you have no clear conception of. Instead of lecturing, try to listen sometimes. Ask Israeli, who experiences this first hand on a daily basis, and you may learn a thing or five about carnage as opposed to reveling in the hypocrisy of third-hand accounts of it that you pick up on social media. (Ever heard the term "moral outrage porn"? Look it up.) Further, your propensity to fall back on performative outrage to deflect from losing arguments has become rather obvious.
And by the way, bombing a school building where terrorists find refuge, whether civilians are present there or not is not illegal. Yo must be unaware of the existence of Article 28 of the Fourth Geneva Convention to even suggest the absurdity you are trying to push.
