There are people who rape, murder, commit acts of cowardice and war crimes in every country, region, culture, race, religion, military group, etc... Those acts are not unique to any one group and there are no groups immune to those actions from individuals.
Are those here who treat Hamas as rapists based on questionable images? You see that, right? Israeli terrorists want rape to be used as a weapon of war. And they say this without hesitation or shame in front of anyone. So stop drawing conclusions based on absurd images. And pay attention to this cruelty of the terrorists. Condemning "both sides" will only lead you to insult those who resist the cruelty of the oppressors. Stop showing us the filth that Israel reveals through its ability to manipulate and create perceptions through social media and through the journalists it buys with money!! Stop giving credit to Israel's statements anymore!!
MF the thing is only in Israel do you see the fucking populace rally behind those atrocities in BROAD DAYLIGHT!! And then they have other parties like YOU constantly trying to smoothen the implication.There are people who rape, murder, commit acts of cowardice and war crimes in every country, region, culture, race, religion, military group, etc...

Since the beginning of conflict there have been acts considered to be "out of bounds" relative to the time in question, perpetrated against people and it is seemingly always the goal in a conflict to paint one's advisary as uniquely barbaric and cruel.
The reality is that while the "both sides" narrative doesn't satiate our conviction that the opponent is uniquely immoral, "both sides" is often the actual answer... Maybe it looks different, or it happens in a different way, or at a different rate, but it's objectively true that in war both sides do pretty shitty things to each other.
IMO, if we can accept that reality, there are far more substantive conversations to be had... I've said 1000 times before and I'll say it again. You can't end war crimes or heinous acts of malice by legislation alone. There are a certain segment of every population, every organization and every community that will not comply with the established rules and will act they desire.
That's objectively not true. They partied in the streets of Gaza in BROAD DAYLIGHT when members of HAMAS returned from Israel with men, women and children as hostages that were meant to be used as bargaining chips in war. A deplorable act that we have video footage of hundreds (if not thousands) of people in Gaza cheering on as if kidnapping civilians is a righteous act... Although I'm sure you'll find a way to morally defend that act, while condeming Israel. For the record, the Israelis that raped people and those who support them should be absolutely held to account, but so to should be the people who kidnapped civilians and the those that cheered it on.MF the thing is only in Israel do you see the fucking populace rally behind those atrocities in BROAD DAYLIGHT!!

For fuck's sake I've had it with this forum.
Rape is a deplorable act. So is kidnapping non-combatants. I'm highly consistent in both directions.
Nobody (at least in this thread) is refuting Israel's participation in deplorable acts. They're not some uniquely benevolent nation that does everything the "right way". They've got bad actors in their country, as do we all.I agree. Then Israel are guilty of both of those. In a grander scale.
