In response to complaints about its coverage, CBC says Israeli state violence is different than Hamas’ violence because the killing of Palestinians happens “remotely”
It’s an interesting argument. Does Israel not get to claim moral outrage if Palestinians bomb school buses because that’s just what happens in war? If there is no morality in war, Hamas did nothing wrong, correct? Rapes happen in war. Deaths of children happen in war. Could Iran use nerve gas against Tel Aviv and have it simply written off as “that’s what happens?”
Asking as someone who has fired and been fired upon at the request of my government.
Pretty common for war to kill a lot of civilians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio
Sad reality

War is a crime against humanity, along with everything that comes with it. The is no just or unjust war, the is no justification for war.
If you have an issue with the number of civilians Russia has killed in its war with Ukraine, Israel has surpassed that number in less than 2 months.
