      Palestinians and isreali civilians are caught between two asshole organizations and as they say, when elephants fight, the ants suffer.

        It’s tiring to see everyone taking sides. Just admit that both sides are wrong: Hamas are using civilians as cover, Israel is just killing everyone to get at Hamas. The people suffer. :-(

          I don’t understand why this is such a difficult concept for so many people. Two sides can absolutely be in the wrong, especially over the span of generations. At such a point it really hardly matters anymore at all who started what, it’s just two sides showing humanity’s ugliest side non-stop.

              Oh I can help with that.

              It’s a big no no to set up an army garrison in protected buildings like hospitals according to the Geneva convention. Reason being, you can cause said building to lose it’s protected status.

              Does that help?

      No, didn’t you get the memo?

      Everything is a team sport these days, and just like you can either be team Jacob or team Edward but can’t be undecided, online etiquette rules dictate that you can either be team Hamas or team IDF.

      And no, team ‘civilians’ doesn’t count. Too much grey area for people to know whether you are on their team or not. They’ll need to read your entire comments to know if they should downvote you or upvote you.

      Could you imagine?

      That’s probably a war crime in and of itself.

      So hurry up and pick a side and stop making discussing international conflicts online so complicated with your ‘nuance’ BS.

        So glad you brought this up… I am 100% team Voltari. Edward is like over 100 years old and Bella is like 16, 17 maybe? Seems a little statutory rapey. Oh then Jacob falls in love with their child at the age of like less than one…

        Voltari should have ripped them all apart and threw them in the fire.

      of course that’s possible, I’m pointing out that the language used in the title of this post doesn’t want you to see it that way
