The point is beheading is a deliberate act that promotes a specific emotional response, and that's why it was put forward in connection with every effort to excuse Israel for what they're doing/about to do. In reality yes, killing babies is the worst thing you can do, no matter how you do it, but there's been a long history of people reacting genocidally to allegations that the other side bayoneted babies, took them out of incubators, smashed them on the floor etc. People universally react differently to those kind of things and you know that.

This is not to clear Hamas. What interest does anyone here have in supporting a terrorist group? My interest here is in accurate information, thinking rationally, and not supporting a genocide in progress based on unsourced, unconfirmed allegations.

You are reacting in a hysterical post 9/11 mindset, where you view anyone who calls for rationality, caution, humanity, or even just accurate info is called a terrorist sympathizer.

Exactly

Wow, what a useless added context.

Fuck her. Her job as a journalist is to verify and report, not be a mouthpiece for the Israeli government. Her and her media cohorts who repeated the lie are all complicit in validating the disproportionate response and the current genocide. The blood of Palestinians are as much on their hands as it is on Israel.

Do you know why it was easier to convince Nazi soldiers to gas jews than it was to shoot them in a firing squad? It's the same damn concept.

War crimes are not immune to any shred of of self imposed empathy from the attacker's perspective. You are literally arguing with centuries of studied psychology.

This you with post #90 ?

"Both sides are terrorists" is not defending Hamas

But "bombing civilians (including children) isn't as bad as beheading children" certainly looks like defending the Israeli government

Or shutting off power so those in ICUs die. Or leveling entire neighborhoods and killing dozens of children in a matter of seconds. No difference between these circumstances. Barbarism is barbarism.

I agree with you.

Sounds like your issue is with assholes who want to talk about how there is a moral difference between gassing Jews and shooting them and 5 minutes later say there isn't a difference between bombing people and beheading them.
