  • You didn’t link those because those are the ones Israel singed, you linked them because you didn’t know the difference.

    The protocol I provisions on indiscriminate attacks define what and which civilian deaths are acceptable. Indiscriminate bombings - like blowing up a car in front of a completely unrelated building full of civilians - are unacceptable under protocol I. If your argument is that those attacks are moral because Israel is not a signatory of that protocol I’d argue they’re still committing war crimes, they just don’t admit it.





  • This is literally the same argument bigots have always made. Lemme ask you a question: if we let women vote do you really think they would make the right choices?

    If we let black people use the same bathrooms as white people do you really think they’d behave?

    If we let those refugees in do you really think they’ll contribute to society?

    If we dismantle apartheid do you really think they can govern themselves?

    If we free the slaves do you really think they can do anything but menial labor?

    What I think is whenever someone asks me if I really think we should stop discriminating against a group of people because they’re not worthy of respect, dignity, and basic right to life, I think that person fucking sucks
