it is possible to kill children legally in minecraft
the lengths they go to justify killing children in real life is abhorrent
Whoever wrote that should be ground into a fine paste as slowly as mechanically possible
An infanticide that no one can see is also going to attract suspicion.
Then what the fuck has been happening? 15,000 dead kids isn’t infanticide? Its been clear as fucking day to see from the start and throughout the history of Israel’s occupation of Palestine. We’re way beyond the point of growing suspicious. Fuck these people…
Is it true that if someone takes a kid hostage, you’re justified in killing the kid? Sounds fucked up, the idea that killing someone who is doing Bad Things is more important than protecting the life of an innocent child. Hmm. Not sure about this “international rules based” order the crackers keep talking about.
One of the really fascinating things about October 7th was that Israel’s top priority was openly “preventing Hamas from getting in”, with all other considerations, like the preservation of Israeli life, coming second. Then you read stories about helicopters firing missiles without targeting carefully or those girls in tanks firing on kibbutz homes without a clear idea of who is inside, and it becomes an inevitable conclusion that the civilian death toll (such as it even existed, since there was a heavy military presence there) was almost entirely Israel’s fault on an immediate level, even before getting into “Their policies made the attack inevitable” and such
stories about helicopters firing missiles without targeting carefully or those girls in tanks firing on kibbutz homes without a clear idea of who is inside
