It's ok to murder children if the target is terror!

[Beelzebud]

Thats what I'm hearing. Even from some people here on DU.

When you cut through the bullshit, that is the message:

Dead children? Who cares as long as we wasted a few terrorists along with them!

I wish there was another fucking planet to move to.

1. Me too. I'm very tired.

The essential problem with these people is that they are blasphemers who count themselves equal to "God" in determing who is expendable and who isn't. For them, when it comes down to "it", everyone but themselves are Cannon Fodder.

[question everything]

2. Is it OK for terrorists to use children as human shield?

to dress them as suicide bombers?

Haven't we seen enough that these people value their jihad, their dream of taking over the world that used to be ruled by Islam in the first Millennium - more than human lives?

Even in Iraq. Is the US really to blame for the 100 murders a day, where Sunnis burst into houses, stop buses, and kill anyone with Shiite name, and vice versa?

They use children as human shield to manipulate western opinion and it obviously works like a charm here.

3. Human shields. You mean like these human shields?

[question everything]

7. Suer, like this

[Beelzebud]

8. Got any recent ones that show actual human shields?

That picture has been passed around for years, and while disgusting, doesn't show a human shield.

4. Works like a charm? Were these kids in jihad pajamas?

5. You are on the nose.

11. "question nothing" strikes again! Another strawman bullshit point.

Nobody said it was OK for terrorists to do anything. If you had any shred of decency you'd admit that Israel has gone to far. Israel has murdered too many innocent people. Your claim of "human shield" is no excuse. It carries no moral justification for the slaughter perpetrated by Israel. People hiding in a cellar aren't "human shields". They are innocents trying to avoid being killed by a heartless terrorist state--Israel.

You have no shred of decency. Merely the immoral blindness of a fanatic.

12. the difference being

that 'they' are operating out of desperation- and are NOT financed by the US-

Also, I've not heard people 'ok'ing, or applauding using children as human shields- But when the country that we are supposedly 'allies' with, completely ignores and brushes off the pre-meditated killing of hundreds of innocent civillians- and this administration and many elected officials endorse their actions, or do NOT CONDEMN them- then holy shit... we are screwed.

Why are police denied the right to pursue a known criminal in a high speed chase in congested areas because of the potential of injuring and killing innocent civillians, yet, the people in Lebanon, don't even matter as much as that????


Where IS the 'highground'??? or does it only exist, when it is easy for us to stand on it, and point our fingers at others???

6. I'm sick of this hypocritcal, and vicious excuse making...

for Israel too.

Anyone who rabidly defends Israel when it is clearly is committing such atrocities needs to reevaluate their political philosophy (and their basic sense of right and wrong).

For myself, the whole conflict illustrates why religious nutjobs need to stay the hell out of politics, both sides included.

9. it's what the US government believes too

Just ask the children of Iraq and Afghanistan.

If it's wrong in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's work wherever it's occurring.

10. It was exactly this mentality that

enabled human beings to fly jets into buildings full of ordinary people-

Jets where children sat on their parents lap, flying to their deaths-

For the pilots who took over the flights, who sat among 'average' people, they had to have closed off their souls to the reality that those people, were just props- just debris on the path of getting at the 'evil doers'- which I believe is how those who use terror to advance their cause have to twist their minds in order to do what they do- and for those who support them to justify knowing that men, women and children, exactly like 'them' are being killed, for no other reason than they were in the way of the larger agenda-

to hear people, people who supposedly share a common perspective on life, and how it should be lived, justify that- like here on DU- like in my friends and family, is such discouraging and defeatist reality, that it makes 'keep on keeping on' almost impossible.


Dead people all matter- dead children are the evidence that 'we' are indeed 'the enemy'.

we have to keep "IMAGINING"- all the people, living life in peace.... but it's getting harder to believe-
