Israel intentionally puts military targets inside densely populated civilian areas.

Mossad, their intelligence agency, is one example…

When you hear Israel complaining that Iran has killed civilians, just know that it’s because Israel intentionally uses Israelis as human shields.

Doesn’t Israel have compulsive military service? The entire populace is military by design.

Compulsive and compulsory lol (sorry)

They failed to consider the lack of humanity in settler colonialists, no crime against those people could make me shudder.

I don’t support killing civilians. I’m just pointing out the fact that Israel intentionally has military infrastructure in the middle of densely populated areas.

Civilians supporting genocide and stealing land?
They can die ASAP, I do support that

As an example, in the USA where I live.

I don’t support racists who use their first amendment protections from the USA constitution to say dumb, stupid shit.

But I also don’t support killing them.

Please don’t support murder of civilians, even if they are dumb, racist, antisemitic, mother fuckers (as the Israeli settlers are in the West Bank).

I do feel your sentiments though. Israeli civilians are not looking their best on the world stage at the moment.

If you need someone to direct your ire at, look to politicians who support the Israeli government you can work to vote out of office.

You fundamentally misunderstand Israel. It's a settler colonial expansionist state. Every individual who, after witnessing the genocide over the past 3 years, hasn't yet left, is an occupier.

The end goal isn't reforming Israel, it's the complete dismantling of the state so the land can be returned to its rightful people: the Palestinians.

To that end, there's going to be no "let's make sure Israeli feelings aren't hurt". This is war. Palestinians have been living under it for a century. There's no place for pearl clutching
