Reply to comment by chyko9 in Israeli West Bank raid kills 10 Palestinians and hurts more than 100 others. by CrackHeadRodeo

> I assume this is the part where the goalposts move, and you say “well yea ok they were militants… but they’re freedom fighters!!11!!!”

No, this is where I ask for a source, and point out that OP quite clearly states "most of them were terrorists or human shields for them" without providing any evidence at all. And what exactly does most mean? You may be ok with believing anything you read on the internet, but I don't.

Ok here. From 28 minutes ago as of 10:16am PST.

"Various Palestinian militant groups claimed six of the dead — including the three from Lion’s Den targeted in the raid — as members."

It is a tragedy that others, including two old men, were killed as well. But let's not pretend like this was some random, unprovoked attack on unsuspecting, undeserving Palestinian civilians.

I mean, does it matter? You seem to really be fixed on the 6 while happily completely disregarding the other 100+ casualties.

And over a hundred wounded. Why did you omit that little detail?

Over 100 wounded on top of the innocents killed. What exactly did over a hundred civilians do to "deserve" being killed or maimed?

Neither you nor op specified "dead" up until this point.

Additionally, to nitpick, OP stated "terrorist," while the AP only mentioned claims by "militant" groups.

Lmao this is an AP news source. It reads like in the 60s and 70s in the US against the Black Panther Movement. You sound so naive lol. For fuck sakes two unarmed men were shot dead along with the Military firing missiles into the building. Any way you look at it, it is a humanitarian crisis. It’s like the 1985 Move Bombing
