Shouldn’t we be able to ask why Israel targeted a Tai restaurant in Gaza?

Yes

No

[AyChingao]

Of course, and you may ask but will get the standard "they are Hamas" answer.
The real answer looks to be because Netanyahu want's the beachfront property, and all Palestinians gone.
Side note for those that still don't understand THIS: You can despise Netanyahu and his radical right wing government and still NOT be anti-semitic. An average citizen of most any country will likely feel much the same way about their leaders as you do about yours. Unless of course you support Trump. Abnormal is a kind descriptive in this case.

[OddBeMe]

I’ve read rumors of IS developers wanting Gaza to be the next French Riviera.

[AyChingao]

yep. You can bet Trump will want a "Trump Towers" right on the beach

[Danzigdawson]

Lots of targets in that war are written off as "mistakes" by the Israeli. Nethanyahu's is far-right shithead and a disgrace to Jewish people and their history. One day we'll be rid of him, putin and trump. Fucking dinosaurs.

[Sevenpointfive]

it might surprise you but a lot of israeli's support bibi and zionism

[OddBeMe]

@Sevenpointfive they do. And support his apartheid regime. Feels good to be told you're better.

History rhymes.

[Avicenna]

I know you’re dumber than a pile of rocks, Odd, but even you should be smart enough to realize that a Jewish state that has an Arab minority of over 20% while the neighboring Arab states have no Jews isn’t an „apartheid“ state, especially when its Arab minority are citizens, has representation in Parliament, and there are judges and IDF personnel who are Arab.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna well even your brain should be able to research it. Do all people in Israel have the same rights?

[Anonymous]

Same reason America does it. A guy they suspect of terrorism makes a call from a restaurant and the airforce drop a 1000llb bomb from a drone flying ag 80,000 feet.

[OddBeMe]

Should just drop cybertrucks

[Opinion Owner]

Well if EVs are worth so little then yeah why not.

[OddBeMe]

Problem with them is they're worth too much

[OddBeMe]

Or not worth it

[Agape93]

Who cares? Kill em all. They all had the chance to prevent this and stop it, they refuse, so let them see the consequences.

[OddBeMe]

And this attitude is why America will a l ways be a target

[Agape93]

And supporting terrorists and aiding terrorists is why those people will always get hit with missiles. Fuck around and find out.

[OddBeMe]

Sigh... no, treating them as common crimimals would be enough.

We wouldn't bomb tai restaurant in the US even if it was mob owned. Lol

[Agape93]

The mob also isn't a terrorist organization massacreing over 1,000 people in a day, gang raping women and kids, and kidnapping hundreds to mutilate, rape and murder, and waging active warfare against the state. Considering swat has more than once basically bombed homes to get a criminal, yeah I'm pretty sure that hypothetical restaurant would get bombed too.

[OddBeMe]

Debatable.

[Agape93]

Not debatable.

[OddBeMe]

What's terrorism? What's mob violence compared to religious violence?

[Agape93]

Terrorism is violence intended to cause fear and chaos for political, social or religious ends.

Mob violence is murder, theft, racketeering. Religious violence includes massacres, genocides, mass rapes etc. Hamas in one day killed more people than the mob has in almost 30 years.

[OddBeMe]

Mob violence is to cause fear so they can make racketeering profitable

[Agape93]

Which is less than terrorism. Faaaaar less.

[Avicenna]

What a surprise, Nazi Odd‘s propaganda against Jews continues. I guess you’re one of the „Queers for Palestine“ crazies?

Hamas hiding behind civilians is a war crime. And Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas Nazis.

[Danzigdawson]

There is no reason for Israel to comprehensively destroy almost every single building in the Gaza strip, as well as deliberately starving and killing non-combatants. It's a genocide and a war for territory and it's pretty clear by now that the hamas never really was the main target, but rather an excuse. Let me make it clear: the hamas terrorists' capture of hostages, their acts of terrorism, the rapes, the killings they have commited; as disgusting, inhuman and unacceptable as they all were, does not provide any justification for it. There can be no justification for genocide.

[Danzigdawson]

@Avicenna Only nazis justify genocide. The Jewish people have been the blameless victims of one of the most disturbing and digusting genocides in the world's history. That fact doesn't give Israel a "commit a free genocide" card, EVEN if the present situation is still far from being comparable to the concentration camps and the gas chambers of nazi germany.

[Avicenna]

@Danzigdawson You clearly don’t know what genocide is. Incidentally, I never see you or other Marxists complaining about the use of torture and killing by the corrupt Hamas and PA against fellow Palestinians or the war crimes of Hamas. You’re perfectly fine with that. Do you have any idea what’s it’s like to live under the rule of corrupt and violent Hsmas and the PA? Do you even care? Of course not. Think the rule of Hamas and it’s constant attempts to kill Israelis might be the actual problem?
The attempted genocide in the Middle East is Arab Muslims trying to kill all Jews. And they’d gladly kill you too, useful idiot. Israel has actually defended itself with great restraint against Nazi Hamas attempts at genocide of Israeli Jews. .

[Danzigdawson]

@Avicenna No one's defending the hamas you stupid idiot. Learn the fuck to read and then find the definition of genocide in any dictionary.

" the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group."

The deliberate killing of the Palestinians living in the Gaza strip by means of starvation, bombing, military intervention and the deliberate destruction of their buildings and infrastructure so the survivors can never come back and live there, all done under the false pretense that most Palestinians living in the Gaza strip are invariably defending and supporting the hamas and thus, deserve to die.

[Sevenpointfive]

hamas isn't hiding behind anything or anyone. this isn't exactly a meet me on the battlefield kind of situation. they should've invaded israel that day and been done with it. but that's if you believe it was even hamas. i sure don't.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna Actually you aren't aware of what genocide is.

1) Killing members of the group
2) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
3) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
4) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

[Avicenna]

Nazi Odd, do you admit that Hamas is therefore guilty of committing genocide? Are you aware of what the fertility rate is in Gaza? Are you aware of how Hamas rules Gaza?

Nazi Danzig, you are indeed defending Hamas and making excuses for it. Do you admit that Hamas is attempting to commit genocide of Jews?

- If anyone is starving in Gaza, it is because Hamas is corrupt as well as violent and steals food aid and medicine
- You haven’t acknowledged that Israel has a right to defend itself and that Hamas is committing war crimes. You haven’t acknowledged never, to my knowledge, even criticized Hamas terror attacks, even 10/7. You have not criticized Hamas torture of the hostages it seized on 10:7.
-In defending itself with great restraint, Israel actually endangers the lives of its servicemembers more than is already the case.

-Even Hamas has now acknowledged that it lied about the casualty counts in Gaza. Most of the casualties in Gaza are Hamas fighters. Israel has done all it could to avoid civilian casualties, even though Hamas often pretends that its members are civilians.

Do you admit that Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas terror? Refusal to directly answer that question means not only do you support Hamas, but also that you want to keep Israel from defending itself.

[Danzigdawson]

@Avicenna It's pretty evident that Israel has the right to defend itself against hamas and their crimes. It doesn't have the right to use it as a reason to wipe the Gaza strip and its population off the surface of the earth. Are you too stupid to see the nuance behind these two statements?

Want me to dumb it down for you? It's not eye for an eye: it's both legs, both arms, both ears and both eyes for an eye.

I didn't acknowledge the hamas' crimes and 10/7? Here I am, quoting myself because you won't learn the fuck to read: "Let me make it clear: the hamas terrorists' capture of hostages, their acts of terrorism, the rapes, the killings they have commited; as disgusting, inhuman and unacceptable as they all were, does not provide any justification for [wiping Gaza and its population off the surface of the earth]". I've seen the images of Israeli women taken in captivity, blood pouring down their crotches on their pants. I want the hamas dead as much as you, you piece of crap. Does that justify killing children by blowing them appart of starving them to death, you sociopathic creep?

And to quote your stupid logic, once again: "Refusal to directly answer that question means not only do you support Hamas but also that you want to keep Israel from defending itself ". Yeah, just as OddBeMe's opinion makes him (somehow) both a nazi and a marxist; the danzig in my name means that I'm a nazi and the fact that you're named after a prominent Arab thinker makes you a supporter of islamic terrorism, quite obviously.

[Danzigdawson]

@Avicenna In the end, what Israel is doing right now is a huge free publicity campaign for the hamas and other islamic terrorist groups. Do you think that the father, the son, the mother in Gaza who are standing next to their families' corpses lying under the pile of rubble that used to be their home will blame the hamas for their losses and spend the remaining of their lives hunting them down for the Israeli government?

If you house was bombed and your family killed because the police are trying to arrest a pedophile serial killer hiding somewhere in your town, would you side with the police after all of that? Wouldn't you agree with the police' logic that it was the only way to get him to show himself because they're suspecting that some of your neighbors are hiding him?

"I understand why my family had to die and my life destroyed, officer. I'll gladly assist you in finding that piece of shit who, in the end, is responsible for what's happening to me."

[OddBeMe]

Yes hamas is bad. Doesn’t make Israel genocide good.

[Sevenpointfive]

@Avicenna hamas isn't the one stealing aid. if you thought about it for one second. if hamas were there they'd be shot before aid could be given. it doesn't make sense. so the aid is being withheld by the israelis on purpose. that's it.

[Avicenna]

@Sevenpointfive: That is pure Fantasy on your part.
@Danzig: Hamas is a terror group that severely oppresses Gazans (a very salient fact you studiously ignore) and starts wars, then hides and attacks behind civilians. You should be calling for Hamas to release all hostages, disarm, and leave Gaza. But you have no problem with Hamas repression and violence. And your sophistry is pathetically bad.

@OddBeMe: You stupidity is no excuse for the blood libel of genocide, which is so false it’s beyond pathetic that any mentally ill leftist idiot is not committed after shrieking it.

[Danzigdawson]

@Avicenna It took you all that time to come up with that stupid shit? You may want to keep your logical fallacies — as well as your own purposefully dishonest assumptions and attacks on character — in check before you pass any judgement on my "pathetically bad sophistries".

[OddBeMe]

@Danzigdawson dont overlook his use of blood libel. Classic antisemitic myth

[Sevenpointfive]

it's been proven once that i know of and i can't really see it being wrong after that.

[David318578]

Because Hamas hides behind civilians. They understand that liberals are not the brightest bunch so they will side with them because of just a few headlines.

[OddBeMe]

So its ok to kill the hostage? Lol listen to yourself.

[David318578]

No I'm saying that Hamas is hiding behind civilians because of the optics it creates and liberals are to dumb to realize it.. look at the "queers for Palestine" protests to see how clueless liberals are with this whole situation.

The only place where "queers for Palestine" be allowed to walk would be Israel, if they did that in Palestine they would be stoned to death or thrown off buildings.

Liberals are easily manipulated because they are all emotions and lack logic when making decisions

[OddBeMe]

Never heard of queers for Palestine. But anyone ok with this is a fucking psychopath

[Dongie]

Your point has been played poetically true, David. 😅

[David318578]

Yeah Hamas is terrible, but the Palestinians support and back Hamas, Hamas and the Palestinians think killing of its own children is a price that's acceptable because they allow Hamas to hide and operate among children and civilians.

[OddBeMe]

50% of gaza are children. How do they support hamas?

[David318578]

Same reason that you support them.. brainwashing the simple minded isn't very hard.

[exitseven]

yes, it is probably because Hamas is hiding near there.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Weird none of this happened until Hamas attacked Israel.

[Sevenpointfive]

wake up bro. it was a false flag. israel has even admitted to knowing beforehand

[OddBeMe]

@Sevenpointfive no it wasn't. It's Israel's 911 and they're fucking it up

[Sevenpointfive]

9/11 was a false flag !

[OddBeMe]

@Sevenpointfive what wasn't a false flag?

[Sevenpointfive]

the one you're waving

[RedInnocent69]

Seems like they’ve targeted everything. Doesn’t look like there’s much to Gaza anymore…

[Sevenpointfive]

what a waste of American resources

[RedInnocent69]

@Sevenpointfive what American resources? It’s Israel’s war.

[Sevenpointfive]

hello? is there anyone home?

[RedInnocent69]

@Sevenpointfive I see, you’re one of those…

[Sevenpointfive]

did you just call me a ?

[OddBeMe]

@RedInnocent69 he's an ahole. But he's right. We've been bankrolling Israel for half a century.

[RedInnocent69]

The “aid” the US gives Israel is tied. It’s used to buy US weapons. It’s a subsidy to US arms manufacturers. Not saying that’s good, but it’s a different issue. It’s not like the US has boots on the ground, spending money to destroy Gaza. Jumping from you have a question or another perspective to you must be an idiot is the asshole part, and frankly, everything that’s wrong with public discourse today. For all he knows, I could have a degree in political science, be an international trade lawyer, or a banker with a finance MBA 🤷‍♂️

[OddBeMe]

“Spending money to destroy Gaza”

That’s funny. Any other apartheid state would be isolated and sanctioned.

[Sal_Monella]

Feel free to ask.

[Dongie]

N O !!
