    What does the proximity of the kibbutzes to Israeli military bases have to do with anything? Did Hamas accidentally murder civilians in their homes while trying to go after legit targets?

    “Oops, we missed the military base and accidentally cut this old guys head off with a garden hoe and machine gunned some families hiding in their homes! Honest mistake!”

          So if israel kills Palestinian civilians… first does Hamas get the right to kill israelis indiscriminately?

          You don’t know how international law works. Cluster munitions are banned. But sure keep on defending civilians being killed. Just a very reasonable person on Lemmy defending the killing of Russian civilians after someone wishes they see the horrors of war.

            You’re the only one here talking about Israel and Palestine. The rest of us are talking about Russia and Ukraine. Neither of those two (nor the US) signed the convention on cluster munitions.

              I am talking about the double standard of someone wishing harm on civilians and everyone cheering it on.

              And that harm on civilians subsequently happening.

              Something about a double standard.

        Civilians weren’t intentionally targeted by Ukraine, unlike Hamas, who happily murders children.
