Many actions in the 2nd World War would be considered War Crimes today. Common sense and humanity seems to fly out the window during a conflict.

Get real, there’s no power, no telephone service, they can’t notify the school to evacuate and even if they could, it’s still not ok until evacuation is confirmed. Please stop deflecting by asking me to condemn something else. Yes of course I condemn Hamas for using children as human shields.

I am sorry some of you see my humanity in asking for the massacre of innocent Palestinians to stop as being wrong. I am disgusted you think it is ok for the Israeli Gov’t to target schools and homes because they believe Hamas launched rockets from them. There has to be a better way. The Israel & Palestine director of Human Rights Watch told President Biden the death toll is probably accurate.

I don’t believe it is targeted as you say.

Pretty much what I expected.

Splendid & Tremendous!

Buddhists believe Buddha was also enlightened, did he also drive an EV?.

Common sense and humanity mandates such a restriction. I am detecting extreme bias on your side and very little humanity towards the Palestinians, I wonder if you are Israeli? You are certainly a Zealot. I am a British Atheist. There is lots of misinformation on both sides. I don’t trust anything coming out of Gaza or Israel, but I do believe innocent Palestinians are dying in the thousands and the motive for this is impure and represents collective punishment.

I prefer “enlightened”

Surely you are not suggesting that EV fanboys are nutters?

Because you tell me something, it doesn’t make it so. I suspect you are probably right though. In which case the Israeli Government cannot return fire, they must find another way.

Then you cannot return fire, you must find another way.

We don’t know where Hamas are sending rockets from, it’s all speculation. I don’t trust “any” news outlet, as I said, I like to read them all and form my own opinion. Generally, I like Al Jazeera, but as you said, you have to look behind the obvious bias, and the same can be said of some of the posters here.

No, you just buy an air purifier, there are two months of the year that you can’t live here without one

I think that number came from the BBC, naturally all numbers of civilian deaths in Gaza will come from Gaza, and therefore Hamas Even so, if half that number is accurate, the claim in my post still stands, the Israeli Gov’t cannot be targeting Hamas only, they must be indiscriminate bombing.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but I don’t propagate numbers on behalf of anyone. This kind of sniping has to stop.

I suspect catastrophic battery failure is a lot less frequent than catastrophic ICE (engine) failure, it would be interesting to see some statistics on that. I did have a catastrophic engine failure on a Honda NSX, supposedly one of the most bulletproof petrol engines in a supercar.

I think it’s fairly clear that the Israeli government is not targeting Hamas in Gaza in general, if they were only targeting Hamas, we wouldn’t have 6000 civilians killed. You have to destroy a huge amount of property to kill 6000 people.

Cue Transman with asinine comment he thinks funny that is lost on everyone else…

I don’t think we’ve heard the whole story on that

Thanks

Maybe, maybe not. It’s impossible to know the real position. Al Jazeera lists 5 locations in South Gaza bombed yesterday, most likely with multiple rockets or bombs. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, though, generally I trust Al Jazeera. I also read Russia Today, though, I support Ukraine in the invasion, but I like to read everything available and form my own opinion.

I disagree, I support his assessment. I do think he should have been a lot clearer condemning Hamas, but he is absolutely correct about stopping the bombing of Gaza in the south where the Israeli government told citizens to move to for safety reasons. IMHO the bombing of the South is a crime. I missed that post, can you point it out for me?

If using the word Zionist is used as another form of antisemitism then I agree. I think the onus is on the user of the word to be extremely clear. Zionism is a movement/religion not a people. I can say I am anti-religion, most especially Islam, but I have no problem with any peoples or individuals following said religion. I am also against religion being in power as government, I support secular government with an impenetrable wall between church and state. It seems wherever we have religion in power we have problems.

People accused him of ignoring the reality of the slaughter of Israeli citizens by Hamas, he never condoned that and that is what he clarified.
