JERUSALEM, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Israel published video on Sunday of what it described as a tunnel dug by Palestinian militants under the Gaza Strip's biggest hospital, a focus of its search-and-destroy missions against Hamas in a war now in its seventh week.

You should be anti-IDF and anti-Netanyahu. There are plenty of innocents in Israel who do not want to conquer Palestine.

Last I checked Israel was a democracy, and has had plenty of time to stop its actions.

If the Israeli people don’t like being judged by the actions of their chosen government representing them than it’s on them to change that.

Then why are they living in Israel?

Paying Israeli taxes. Helping the Israeli economy. Serving in the Israeli military which they're all required to do.

Heh. Kind of hard to make the 'civilian' argument when all of your civilians are required to join the military.

Because that's their home, and they were likely born their.

And Hamas has majority support in Palestine, so if the above is anti-Hamas but not anti-Palestine, then they should be anti-IDF but not anti-Israel.

then they should be anti-IDF but not anti-Israel.

How exactly does that work when all Israeli citizens are required to join the military?

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Because it's only a 30 month service. The majority of Israelis aren't actively in the IDF, and the majority have never been anywhere near Gaza.

So they're absolved of all responsibility?

What a convenient system, lol.

[-] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Did they go kill Gazans? If not they are absolved. Just as Palestinians who aren't in Hamas are absolved of responsibility even if they voted for Hamas or sheltered Hamas terrorists in the past.

It's a logical system.
