    The suffering and dead children on either side are innocent was her point. The children, nothing else.

    Not trying to be rude, but your reaction here is part of the problem. She made some short thing on Instagram crying about the the dying children on both sides and then got absolutely fucking dogpiled by both the left and the right. How dare she support Israel! How dare she support Palestine!

    She didn’t make any statement to any degree of support of either side of the war. She was explicitly talking about the young children caught in a war they have no hand in.

    I don’t disagree with you but I’m not going to celebrate dead kids, or get grumpy about someone being worried about hurt kids because they didn’t fence off their empathy from also seeing the children of the bad guys.

      No one is cheering for dead children. The point is that it is nonsensical to compare them; the killing of Palestinian children is an intentional strategy as part of an ongoing genocide, orders of magnitude greater in scale than the killing of Israeli children, which occurs incidentally during the resistance to that genocide.

      You are allowed to mourn for all of them, but you must notice that nearly all of who you’re mourning are Palestinian. Did you also need black lives matter vs all lives matter explained to you?

          There are people cheering in the very comment replies here. Something along the lines of “Why shouldn’t someone cheer for dead kids of slave owners”.

          Fuck you that is not what I said. I said you should not equivocate between them for fuck sake. YOU ARE THE ONE “reading between lines” to retroactively justify your disgusting fucking comment.

          @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com you got some house cleaning to do.

      there may come a time, years from now, when this and your later multi paragraphed reply will become clear to you as nothing other than equivocating to serve your ego. we aren’t a group who’ll get our names etched into history, no cowboy speech is going to change the course of any wars or win any peace prizes and still you feel the urge to write so much to establish with clinical precision why you’re such a great sensitive guy and right after all. in the end the gaza genocide is providing you an opportunity to flaunt your intellect and “rational compassionate values” or whatever and we end up with these contrarian text-walls that try to look as meek as possible while also being calculated to put a pedestal under you. it’s not about the facts of the external news, it’s about your performance here and now.

      you have a choice to make, abandon that ego, and with it the urge to seek out and exacerbate these moral conflicts on the internet which invariably leads to frustration when people push back because they aren’t stupid (due to how naturally unconvincing the mixture of condescending and concerned is) or embrace it and go on to wonder if the far right has any openings left.

      maybe you’ve made that choice and you come here as just another fucking liar.
