You are always the one who is bad faith arguing. Who do you think is responsible for the school? Have you staked out a position yourself or have you simply demanded that others do so?
What an utterly lunatic view in light of Israel's starvation campaign. There were close to 100K dead in Gaza. That wasn't muslim extremists you POS.
There was no starvation campaign. There was the reality that up to 90% of food aid was being hijacked by the terrorists because, again, they don't care about civilian life
My question was about which side is more likely to intentionally bomb/destroy a school full of only students/civilians.
The original claim was that we, the United States, are the evil ones. If we bombed a school, there is a 99.999% chance that it was accidental. If either side intentionally bombed a school, it would be the side that has proven, for decades, that they not only don't care about civilian lives, but don't care about the lives of children.
I think it's likely an accident by the US, which wouldn't make us evil.
Sufficiently advanced indifference is indistinguishable from malice.
I wanted something to this effect posted at the top of the IC ZZLP, but I never got my way on that.
I bet there wasn't a single, individual bombing atrack, by Israel, knowing that civilians were present, that resulted in even half of the deaths of the Iran school.
And that side would be Israel.
And probably bigger hands.
Would blaming the accidental bombing on Iran and painting them as murdering their own innocent children qualify as evil for you?
Ok. How exactly does that matter to the discussion of whether it is more likely that Israel, Iran, or the US would have intentionally bombed the school, with the understanding that the most likely explanation is that it was hit accidentally?
It could work here though …
Hypothetically speaking, let's say that Israel and Gaza get into another war. This time, they are militarily equal. Same weapons, bombs, tanks, aircraft, etc. And let's say that Israel decides to use civilians as human shields against Hamas.
“What if I invent a counterfactual with no basis in reality” is usually the argument people go to when they would rather not address the actual facts.
Come on, Zen. This is so stupid. In that absurd hypothetical, both sides would be no holds barred. The death count on each side would be much higher than 75k. Nobody would hesitate to kill civilians. Israel would probably kill more people because they have far more experience with military tactics and operations than the Palestinians, but the hypothetical is dumb on its face. It has nothing to do with the current situation, in which Israel and the US have the virtually unfettered ability to drop as many bombs as they want in Iran.
Nominated, in spirit
(if we had a PoTD feature)
Literally every independent expert disagrees with you. there's a reason why the ICC issued warrants for the arrest of Bibi and Israeli cabinet members. It was intentional; it was absolutely an Israeli action; and it's grotesque to argue about this. Keep in mind how many aid convoys Israel destroyed. That wasn't Hamas.
