    It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

    Jeopardizing civilian lives, either by placing booby-traps or using them as shields are both warcrimes.

    My stance has always been that all the violence is BS. I just hate that lemmy.world blatantly gives Hamas a pass.

      A metaphor.

      You in this thread:

      both sides are committing war crimes but in only complaining about one, how don’t you get that I’m mad at both of them!

      You in that thread:

      Yeah guys! I’m just saying ALL LIVES MATTER so why are all these BLM people mad?

      I’m just saying why are black people getting a pass?

      You, unironically.

      It’s a poor metaphor because the genocide being committed intentionally is worse

      It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

      If it only required a “basic” understanding why would so many people have been making the same point to you?

      If a headline says “x group did a crime” and someone responds “y group are criminals” it is not at all obvious what this person’s stance on x group is. If anything this reads like a deflection onto y group, so someone might infer that the responder supports x group or at least is more concerned about y group.

      If the person says “yes, x group did do a crime but let’s not forget y group are criminals too” then it is super clear what this person means. If you omit a response to the actual topic at hand you have no place getting mad when people assume you don’t care about that.
