if Israel wants to look to American precedent so badly, they should look at how we took out bin Laden. it wasn't a carpet bombing campaign, it didn't take tanks and fighter jets and razing an entire country to the ground. it took a small, highly-skilled team to covertly pinpoint his location and execute a targeted infiltration of his compound. no civilians were killed. no infrastructure was destroyed.
again, THAT IS THEIR FUCKING JOB. slaughtering civilians because otherwise "soldiers would be at risk of being killed!" reeks of Uvalde cops letting children bleed to death because "we might get shot!" YOU SIGNED UP FOR THIS, LITERALLY.
if this was happening in Russia or Afghanistan or Iran, we would be vocally and aggressively condemning it. why does Israel get a free pass for this shit?
goddammit fascism. New Zealand was perfect. it was doing everything right. it was heading in the right direction. why'd you have to fuck it all up?
