So long as they weren't directly targeted, then it's a false equivalency. All wars have kids dies. It shouldn't happen, but it does. That's pretty different than *deliberately* targeting children for murder.

There's plenty legit critism of Israel without having to play this game, here.

Easy to say from where you're at but I suspect that if a bomb killed your kid or someone you love you wouldn't feel a whole lot better if the person who sent it told you they weren't the specific target.

The discourse around this has been fucking insane, it's pretty easy to say Hamas is a terrorist organization that needs to be eradicated but we shouldn't kill innocent civilians to do it I mean wtf.

It's also easy to say that Israel needs to reckon with the things they've done to create the conditions for a group like Hamas to even exist and take responsibility for that but Israeli citizens don't deserve to die for the actions of their government.

Like if someone shoots my family and then goes into a like a crowded town square am I justified in throwing a grenade at them and when people ask me "wtf why did you use a grenade for that?" I respond with "well they were using them as a human shield what else could I do? Do you expect me not to react to someone shooting my family?". Does that sound right to any of you?
