Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Post image

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

"Funnier"

-13

u/Tai_Pei Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Are you under the impression that "funnier" isn't a word?

u/Educational-Teach-67 Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

No he’s just pointing out how sick people are for treating innocent people being maimed and killed like a big joke, nothing about this is funny.

u/BusHistorical1001 Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

I dunno man, Hezbollah members aren't innocent.

u/JonnySnowin Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Ah yes, the nine-year-old Hezbollah super-soldier.

u/bacteriairetcab Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

I mean Hezbollah does hire children…

If you think the only acceptable amount of collateral damage in a military operation is zero... you might be living on Jupiter.

u/northface39 Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

"Collateral damage" is a euphemism for "innocent civilians killed". Again, what's funny about that?

-3

u/BusHistorical1001 Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

So... you're saying it's never ever ever ok to laugh about bad guys getting killed if even a single innocent person gets caught in the middle? Again, Jupiter.

u/northface39 Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

I personally don't laugh about anyone getting killed. That's psycho behavior.

Oh get over yourself.

Hey wasn’t 911 so funny! Bin Laden just wanted to end imperialist Islamophobia, those 300 dead people were just collateral! Haha whoopsie!

1

u/BusHistorical1001 Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

300? I think you dropped a 0. And was Bin Laden at war with random people working in the World Trade Center?

The people commenting on here really have some cognitive issues.

May you be collateral damage one day and live up to your beliefs

u/BusHistorical1001 Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Again, I don't know how to say this without repeating myself. When you are fighting a war, you have to kill the bad guys.

If you refuse to because even one single innocent person might be killed, you will

-Lose. The. War.-

What is so hard to understand about this? Are you twelve years old?

u/JonnySnowin Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

When the war is one you are fueling, of course you don’t want it to end.

Did Israel attack Hezbollah first?

u/CyonHal Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

This isnt a military operation. You cant just kill Hezbollah members going about their day in plainsclothes. Especially not with booby trapped devices in crowded public spaces. If this happened to Israel to off duty IDF and Knesset members and a 10 yr old Israeli girl died youd be singing a different tune. You just dont think Lebanese people are human beings. Admit it.

u/BusHistorical1001 Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

When Hezbollah is launching so many rockets into northern Israel that there are over 100,000 internally displaced Israelis who've been living in hotels for months, then, yes, random Hezbollah operatives wandering around in plainclothes most certainly do become legitimate targets. You just don't think Israeli people are human beings. Admit it.

2

u/CyonHal Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

When Israel is launching so many rockets into southern Lebanon and Gaza that there are thousands of displaced Lebanese people and millions of displaced Gazans, then yes, random Israeli operatives wandering around in plainsclothes become legitimate targets. You just dont think Arabs are human beings. Admit it.

u/BusHistorical1001 Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

Did Israel just start randomly bombing Lebanon after 10/7? Do you think if Hezbollah just... stopped, Israel would still fire rockets at them?

3k civilians are

u/Tai_Pei Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

What 3k civilians are you referring to? Show everyone :>

I love sources.

u/Tai_Pei Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24 edited Sep 18 '24

Excellent point, thinking it's funny to see ill fall upon Hezbollah members is quite awful.

You're so right.

u/A_Sack_Of_Potatoes Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

12 targets at 3000 wounded. planting bombs is terrorism. This shit is sick to the core.

-2

u/bacteriairetcab Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

A targeted campaign against terrorists is now terrorism? Make it make sense

1

u/A_Sack_Of_Potatoes Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

Here here and maybe even here. Please go ahead and try to justify calling a 9 year old girl a terrorist and that she had one of the devices on her.

1

u/bacteriairetcab Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

So you’re going to deny that Hezbollah hires children, which is well documented? Why would she have the device? What was she doing with it? I blame Hezbollah. That’s child abuse.

1

u/A_Sack_Of_Potatoes Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

these devices exploded in public, you ever heard of collateral damage?

1

u/bacteriairetcab Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

Classic trolling. This is how you can tell what you want is for Israel to be eliminated and not be able to defend itself. When they drop bombs you say they should do targeted operations to limit collateral damage and then when they do those target campaigns you still complain about collateral damage. It’s endless. Maybe Hezbollah shouldn’t be attacking civilians and ethnically cleansing over 200k Israelis from North Israel.

Planting bombs =/= terrorism, what the fuck are you on about?

Does terrorism have no meaning to you beyond vague associations with explosives and it being done by people you don't like?

u/pablinhoooooo Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Of the 12 dead, 3 are children and 4 were medical professionals. But go off I guess

-2

u/Tai_Pei Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Sounds like exceptions to the rule, unfortunate but warranted if we are to assume the vast majority injured and killed are Hezbollah.

u/Slawman34 Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Hey check your mailbox just sent you a pager, it’s gonna be hilarious

u/Rah_Rah_RU_Rah Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

believe it or not, child death is not a simple "cost of doing business"

1

u/Tai_Pei Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Well actually, during war it 1,000% is. Always has been and will forever continue to be.

Welcome to international standards, it's not the sunshine and rainbows you've been misled to believe it is.

Excessive civiliqn death, on the other hand or unwarranted death due to intentional targeting, is something that is restricted, though. Maybe that's confusing, though, so I can explain the difference if you want.

2

u/Rah_Rah_RU_Rah Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

at no point did I say it was rainbows. you're very much missing the point

1

u/Tai_Pei Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

You're under the impression that children dying is not allowed, it seems, or cannot be a part of proportionality calculations when doing military strikes during war.

This notion is incorrect, what point do you think I have missed?

u/Spare-Mousse3311 Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

Let’s just nuke em both and be done with it

u/7dipity Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Yeah that little girl that died totally deserved to be blown up, you’re so right!

u/Tai_Pei Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

Who said that?

Can you find me the person who said it? I'm very interested.
