You keep saying that which is ironically quite a childish position.

"Stop bombing children" "stop bombing children"

completely oblivious to the complexity of the situation

      They always hide behind how "complex and nuanced" the situation is while proving themselves to be unable to grasp the nuance of something being complex historically but simple morally.

        Keeping it complex in their head probably helps to rationalize an evil thing as being "Cool and Good" to support. How can it be genocide if its viewed as being too nuanced to fully understand?

          There's really a lot of nuance in the libenstraum plan. The untermench are allowed fair chance to prove their bloodlines and their suffering is minimized while they're allowed to labor in our state of the art labor camps. We can't allow them back into the general population because they've become thirsty for violent revenge which makes them savages that need to be kept in camps.

          If only they'd stop being so anti German and accept their position and stop resisting.

        Ah yes, carpet bombing one of the most densely populated regions in the world with an average age of 18 is morally ambiguous because those children are directly responsible for migrations made by their great grandparents who are now dead because of the last round of carpet bombing.

        tbf It is a complex issue for them, because they want to be able to openly support genociding brown people, but also want to look like the victim in all this.

          The whole "Slava ukraini" thing libs latched onto really taught them that they can position themselves as the victim even when they have.nothing to do with the conflict. They don't live there, they aren't in the army, but somehow, this is still happening to them.

          I remember in the early days of the Ukraine proxy war when FB moms were posting "morning routine: wake up, check if zeilinskeyieyuyieiyyy is ok, get coffee"

        every time it's because they haven't actually done any research

        I mean seriously get into conversation with them and watch how fast they run out of things to say once you mention anything that happened before 2020... They have severe historical amnesia. That is what it means be a liberal.

          It reminds me of the meme about the US civil war:

          When you first start studying the civil war: "it was about slavery"

          When you have studied it for a year: "actually it was about states rights"

          When you have studied it for a long time: "yeah... The states rights to have slaves"

    Murdering children is an interesting loaded term, as it implies the intent is to kill the children. It isn't, so grow up. Children die because hamas hides among them.

    *Israel kills them

    So if you want to blame anyone, blame hamas. If you have a better suggestion for how to kill hamas, without collateral damage, or needlessly endangering IDF personal, please feel free to offer it.

    Hamas is exploiting the children in our prison colony by also being in the prison with them, that's EVIL, they should simply buy a home somewhere else and move like I did

          This has been said before, but the term Stockholm Syndrome comes from a psychologist not understanding why the hostages correctly identified the behavior of the police as needlessly escalating the danger of the hostage situation.

      "needlessly endangering IDF"

      Motherfucker, that's what armies are for! It's so cool how this is such a moral and just fight on the part of the Israelis, but boots on the ground is a non starter.

      To be clear, I obviously don't want that, I just find it interesting that any war the US is involved in, is one where they are now using other nations people to be sent to the meat grinder. There has never been honor in war, but they can't even pretend from their planes as they drop more bombs on an open air concentration camp than the US did in iraq

    The situation is more nuanced than that. The children are young Thanos, Voldemort, The Joker, and Stalins. They're from the multiverse. The bombs are a patronus used by Captain America and Israeli Batman. If we don't stop them then they will use the infinity hallows to end the rules based order.
