Comment on Has anyone here noticed how reddit has gotten more racist against Indians in the last few months
applepie@kbin.social 6 months agoHamas is a non state actor under international law. This is not a war, Israel is conducting reprisal against local population due to a terrorist attack. Just like US did after 911.
Reprisals against civilian population is a war crime.

Fair point to the extent that Palestine isn't a state, Hamas can never commit a war-crime. So that's OK then.

Israel is not even killing Hamas. They just doing scortch earth policy on Gaza residents.
"What about Oct 7" lost any weight 5 months ago lol

If you read back through this thread, you'll see that in no way shape of form have I defended the atrocities carried out by Israel. That doesn't mean that Hamas' actions on Oct 7 weren't also an atrocity. "Yeh, but that was 5 months ago" doesn't feel like suitable rebuttle. No you don't use genocide as a response to attrocity, but that doesn't mean the original massacre wasn't a atrocity.
I think you should should avoid using "lol" in these kinds of discussions.
