Reply #40: A bullshit analogy and a new low, even for you [View All]

Israel bombarded an extremely densely populated area. It is simply not credible to drop bombs in areas stuffed with people and blame civilian deaths on your enemy hidind witin them. They undertook the operation knowing that a large number of innocent women and children would be killed.

YOur analogy falls down because in your analogy you are meeting like with like i.e. you are firing a gun to defend yourself from gunfire. Meeting hoemade rocket attacks (with a less than 1% fatality ratio) with state of the art weaponry and banned armaments such as white phosperous is not self defense, its collective punishment and wholesale slaughter. The fact you attempt to defend it here on a left leaning board is a disgrace.

There is no comparison.

Incidentally, I wouldn't shoot at the guy with the baby strapped on. I don't advocate killing innocent babys in the name of my safety. But thats just me. Would you be wearing an IDF 'one shot, two kills' t-shirt when you pulled the trigger by ther way??

Interesting you should use that analogy though.

Israeli Army T-Shirts Mock Gaza Killings

The Israeli army is at the centre of a second controversy over the moral conduct of its soldiers in as many days.

The revelations centre on t-shirt designs made for soldiers that make light of shooting pregnant Palestinian mothers and children and include images of dead babies and destroyed mosques.

The t-shirts were printed for Israeli soldiers at the end of periods of deployment or training courses and were discovered by Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

One, printed for a platoon of Israeli snipers depicts an armed Palestinian pregnant women caught in the crosshairs of a rifle, with the disturbing caption in English: "1 shot 2 kills".


Heres a hint sweetheart. People who defend the IDF shouldn't use analogys where babys get shot. Especially in a one shot, two kills scenario. It reduces your argument to an exercise in irony.
