    Do you think it’s appropriate to run around with fireworks in the middle of an armed conflict?

    Especially if it’s what you idealistic, online types say and it’s a “genocide” and an “apartheid state”, do you really see any other way this would end?

      It’s in the west bank not in Gaza. These IDF terrorists are there illegally to begin with.

      Do you think it’s appropriate to be in medical facilities to treat your wounds in the middle of an armed conflict?

      That gets people shot in Gaza now too.

        Who said that? There is no room for a nuance discussion?

        I didn’t watch the video, but based on the text it sure seems like the kid made choices that a reasonable person could think were incredibly risky given the circumstances.

        Pointing that out does not mean that you think it was reasonable to shoot him; just that you think it is unsurprising.

          This was in the west bank. Not Gaza. You should have watched the video. It would have been wrong still but more understandable for this to have happened in Gaza. Where Israel’s active terror campaign is currently in motion. But this was in the West Bank where Israel is still employing stochastic terrorist tactics.

          This would be like saying it was understandable and excusable for police to come shoot and kill you on your doorstep for setting off a firework. Wherever you live.

          This exactly. But no, asshats don’t think. Just react. Sad thing is, they don’t even know what they are reacting to. None of them even went to Israel, even fewer went to Gaza and most likely almost all of them never was involved in any other conflict that argument over who gets the toy from box of serial.

            Those poor Israelis are just defending themselves by invading Gaza and murdering Gazans by the tens of thousands!

            there’s a term for people who think this way and it’s bootlicker. These fascist apologists line up to victim blame and tell people they’re protesting wrong and gaslight you into believing an offensive occupation can justifiably murder a child. These are liberals, they call themselves Democrats and feel good that they’re not Republicans but they’re all the same. They’re fascists and fascist enablers. Where is the left? We need to do something about all of this.

      Tell me you know literally nothing about the Palestinian conflict without telling me you know literally nothing about the Palestinian conflict.

        I think you have to be 18 to buy fireworks in most places in the US…
