Palestina - Israël

Why is it hard for so many people to acknowledge that it’s ok to be against targeting civilian casualties on both sides of the conflict between Israel and Palestine?

It’s a war and there will unfortunately be civilians who lose their lives but they should be avoided at all costs and certainly shouldn’t be cheered on.

There’s also a lot of fake news going around, which Community Notes is helping with, but obviously isn’t perfect, especially in a rapidly developing news environment.

A lot of people are being fooled into posting emotionally charged reactions to videos that are ten years old from a different country. So many users are losing their minds essentially trying to say their dead babies from 2014 in Syria are worse than your dead babies and your babies are AI and not real.

Innocent civilians are dying, that’s a reality. I don’t really see value in calling real deaths ‘fake’ with no evidence under the guise of skepticism and then throwing skepticism out the window when it’s beneficial to the narrative they’re trying to push by posting old clips or things that are just completely fake.

It’s very important not to get lost in the fog of war.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m already sick of the Israel & Palestine debate.

Israelis have been shitty to Palestinians forever.

Palestinians have been shitty to Israelis forever.

The recent attack might be news, but the conflict itself sure as hell isn’t.

Furthermore, I don’t know why people in Canada, America, or anywhere else are taking is all so personally. This is clearly something being used to divide the west, and even Ray Charles could see it.

I don’t think the Hamas terrorists are good people, and I don’t think the sun directly shines out of Israel’s ass either.

Stop falling for the divide an conquer. All lives matter, don’t lose your humanity.

Do you choose your political positions on various issues by checking the position against your internal morality and value structure, or checking it against an ideological filter?

When you see people who seem hypocritical ie: “My body my choice” when it pertains to the abortion issue, but support “Your body, my choice” when it comes to vaccines; this is someone who runs issues through an ideological filter, not a moral value filter.

This question can be applied to “All innocent human lives are inherently valuable”

If you hold this value, then you are grieved by deaths of civilians in EVERY situation, whether you regard those affected as “on your team” ideologically or not. If innocent lives lost only matter to you if they are the lives of someone you politically align with, you do not hold the value of “All innocent human lives are inherently valuable”. You have applied an ideological hierarchy of value to life.

This is eugenics.
