So you find one good scenario, where children are playing and completely skip over the atrocity's's's that israel in imposing?
I'm not skipping over anything. I'm showing you that the children are playing. That a vast majority are surviving. Your over-reaction has been corrected... again.
Very strange sense of ethics.
These are my ethics in this discussion:
Military necessity is best evaluated dispassionately. The simple truth is, if israel does not operate precisely as it is, more innocent people will die. And many of those deaths will not be coming from bombs or collapsing buildings as a result of a personal choice to martyr themselves and martyr their children. They will be killed in the worst of the worst manner. Raped, tortured, burned alive in their homes.
Worst of the worst are the people whom you are supporting by propagating their talking points. Here, let me show you.
In the spoiler at the bottom of this post is a picture of a parent and child which were burned to death. Their remains have been inspected by non-israeli objective journalists and forensic MDs from multiple countries, not just the US, not just the UK.
The first thing to notice are the restraints. Those are the thick metal wires indicated by the red arrows. These restraints are not common. Zip ties, duct tape, are common. They were likely chosen intentionally so that when the victims are burned, the restraints remain intact.
The next thing to notice are the arching of the spines concave towards each other, indicated by the green arrows. This strongly suggests that the two, an adult and a child, were tightly embracing
while they were being burned.
This is why forensic experts have concluded these two were very likely burned alive intentionally. There are reports, pictures, confessions from the attack and by those who committed atrocities. The pictures show the evacuation shelters being burned in an effort to "smoke out" the innocent victims so that the attackers can kidnap them. You see, in these kibbutzim ( left wing socialist communes, basically ) the residents know that the Palestinians have been murdering innocent people for several decades. They have "panic rooms", more or less, built into these communities. In order to defeat these emergency bunkers, the terrorists lit them on fire. However, this picture, these two specifically, are different. They were intentionally burned alive.
Beyond this there are many many more INTENTIONAL atrocities against innocent people. The israeli tactics are absolutely NOT intended to harm innocent people. I understand that this deviates from visions, prophecy, or spiritual insight which you claim to have received. But it's not true.
As I've mentioned before I have a friend working at a military base in the south of israel. He told me a story a week ago. The israelis lost an entire team clearing a building of innocent people in Khan Younis because the building needed demolition, and intelligence suggested innocent life needed to be saved. A whole team, 21 individuals, lost their lives trying to save Gazans who will never appreciate it. The base was in shock. Mental health professionals were called up to service those who were struggling with the loss. It is a real tragedy. My friend says it could have been avoided. There were mistakes made. And that, in large part, is what made it so painful.
That is what israel is doing on a daily basis. It's the untold story of young people putting themselves in harm's way. Doing the right thing regardless of public opinion. My friend tells me they know the world will never understand, and, it doesn't matter, but, it does hurt. War is about making choices to do the right thing even if it hurts.
The police investigators and emergency personnel describe what the violent extremists, the ones whom you are helping, did to women and men whose genitals were mutilated. Many victims. The police reported, paraphrasing "they [the terrorists] had a thing for genitals". Examples were shooting women from one side of the breast to the other. Shooting men in their genitals. Removing the breasts with a knife. Is that the "right thing to do" even though "it hurts" and is "unpopular"? What does it accomplish? Raping women and taking hostages? Burning parents with the children? Leaving the remains? Recording video of their crimes and posting it on the internet in real-time?
In real-time. Are you understanding what this means? The terrorists know israel is monitoring their communications. The terrorists are encouraging their foot-soldiers to record and post the atrocities. This is coming from the confessions and body cam video. The terrorists want to terrify. They want to provoke the over-reaction. The want to manipulate the israeli emotions, then, they intend to provoke the over-reaction of sympathy from you and people like you. In part it worked. A few politicians said some awful things. But those who implement policy did not act on those statements. The angry violent genocidal rhetoric was recorded on camera. But the genocide isn't actually taking place.
Posting the content produced a reaction from israel, and continuing to post content is continuing to produce ( trigger ) a reaction from you and people like you who are sympathetic to their cause and sympathetic to their violent deeds. What good comes from this? Anything? What good comes from manipulating your emotions and emotions of the israelis?
The witnesses to these atrocities are varied, scattered across the country. They are not isolated events. Those whom you are supporting, by speaking on their behalf, echoing their slogans, use the ideas of genocide, apartheid, oppression, to incite worst of the worst crimes against innocent people. It's not "resistance". It's breeding human-monsters. Your participation in this is unethical from my point of view. Understandable, but, it's still wrong. Watching your over-reactions is teaching me precisely what I don't want to do and who I don't want to be.
My ethics are to not be like you, and not be like them, because I am not like you and I am not like them. I intend to approach these subjects dispassionately. I intend to always probe deeply and in detail on a case by case basis. I intend to avoid rushing to judgment. I reject drawing conclusions based on headlines, which is what I see you doing.
And most important, I adapt. I assimilate new information and I apologize and correct myself if I am wrong. I am not perfect. I am not a prophet. I am not receiving divine revelations. That means I am not emotionally bound to confirming my own beliefs. Being wrong does not compromise my identity. Those are my ethics.
Here's the picture of the ones who were burned alive by the monsters you are supporting.
