    So you do denounce the IDF for using human shields? It’s unclear when you seem to only focus on the portion of the blame that lies with Hamas

      It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

      Jeopardizing civilian lives, either by placing booby-traps or using them as shields are both warcrimes.

      My stance has always been that all the violence is BS. I just hate that lemmy.world blatantly gives Hamas a pass.

        A metaphor.

        You in this thread:

        both sides are committing war crimes but in only complaining about one, how don’t you get that I’m mad at both of them!

        You in that thread:

        Yeah guys! I’m just saying ALL LIVES MATTER so why are all these BLM people mad?

        I’m just saying why are black people getting a pass?

        You, unironically.

        It’s a poor metaphor because the genocide being committed intentionally is worse

        It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

        If it only required a “basic” understanding why would so many people have been making the same point to you?

        If a headline says “x group did a crime” and someone responds “y group are criminals” it is not at all obvious what this person’s stance on x group is. If anything this reads like a deflection onto y group, so someone might infer that the responder supports x group or at least is more concerned about y group.

        If the person says “yes, x group did do a crime but let’s not forget y group are criminals too” then it is super clear what this person means. If you omit a response to the actual topic at hand you have no place getting mad when people assume you don’t care about that.
