Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Are you saying Israel is justified in killing civilians because some Hamas may be among them?

What exactly is an appropriate civilian:militant death ratio in your mind?

[–] jasory@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unless it's edited, that seems to be the exact opposite of what they are saying. They even clarify using the same poor English.

[–] rodolfo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

hey now, poor English! diversely rich is appropriater, I'd say

[–] constate368@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He’s pretending that Israel has no other options.

Might want to brush up on your reading comprehension if this is hard for you to understand.

[–] Bayz0r@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Absolutely not what they're saying. They are clearly making the point that the non-Hamas people who are having to use the hospital have no real alternatives (such as hunting down Hamas members) and shouldn't suffer the consequences of Hamas choosing to be there.

good God, thank you. was really that hard, or badly written? someone pointed out my poor English. maybe some people can't simply admit they're wrong and so double down? I don't know

The UN believes it to be around 9:1

read my comment again, using your voice, and listen to it

Edit then ask to yourself: has this kind of question ever been asked to any member of israel govt by journalists or other govts around the world?

[–] constate368@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's okay, I have my answer.

Your answer is "any death ratio is appropriate, but I know admitting it will make Israel look bad so I'm not going to say it."

[–] SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I believe that’s again the opposite of what that person is saying.
