43. Your statement is ridiculous

Fri Apr 12, 2024, 12:47 AM

Apr 12

The Israeli military kills large swaths of people, knowing full well that their bombs are killing women and children. The IDF knows that only a fraction of those they kill are terrorists, but they continue to drop bombs all the same. Women and children are dying en masse. That is the RESULT of their actions, and results are ALL that matter. You can play all the semantic games you want; it doesn't change reality. That you justify those deaths is something that your conscience has to bear.
