    Leaving this from the Reddit thread, since it was put so well:

    I look forward to seeing how this is excused, justified, and quietly cheered on by some of our fine members. No doubt the babies were “guards” in the “open air prison” and were in fact apartheid babies.

    And hey, you can’t blame people for murdering dozens of babies, as long as those people have hard lives. And of course being known as the sort of people who would murder a bunch of babies has NOTHING to do with why they have hard lives.

    Edit: Ok so far the top winners are, in no particular order:

    “They had it coming”

    “I’m not saying that they had it coming, but they had it coming.”

    “Give peace a chance.”

    And my favorite, the short lived “It didn’t happen.”

        Do you mean more Palestinian children have been killed or the Palestinians have killed more children? Isn’t it great that its ambiguous enough that I even need to ask?

        Solving terrorism with war crimes sounds about right for 2023

          thats the things. its not. the number are out there for everybody to see but you just dont hear about it.

          95% of all victims of this conflicts are palestinians. lets stop pretending the numbers are similar.

      What I will say on this, and check my most recent comment I will never defend these actions, is that Israel has an enormous defense industry that is linked, by design, to their huge grasp on the IT industry.

      I have no reason to believe this isn’t true, but I also do have reason to believe that Israel has a better grasp of disseminating information that is beneficial to them and they have contacts in the absolute highest echelons of global tech and defense.

      This is disgusting and shameful and I would have hoped for better from the oppressed.
