It is important to approach any statement or claim with a critical and objective mindset. While it is true that there have been instances in which aid workers have been affected by military actions, it would be inaccurate and unfair to categorize it as a universal characteristic of any specific military, including Israel.

There are many factors to consider when evaluating these incidents, such as the context, the specific circumstances under which they occurred, and the motives behind them. It is crucial not to generalize the actions of a few individuals or incidents to an entire military or nation.

Additionally, it is essential to remember that international conflicts are complex and often involve multiple parties with competing narratives. It is prudent to seek a thorough understanding of each instance before making broad generalizations or assumptions.

It is fair to criticize any country for violations of international law or disregard for civilian protection, but it is also important to maintain objectivity and avoid overgeneralizations.

Mate we’re not in a court of law - if you have a view or something to say, just say it - it’s a lot of telling people what they should and shouldn’t do when discussing this topic, without actually going into any detail.

You say I shouldn’t generalise but frankly that is all you’re doing; making huge general statements about ‘conflicts’ without acknowledging any of the specifics of this conflict - if you want to provide context or nuance to go against my criticisms of Israel, by all means provide it, but don’t just vaguely hint that they exist.

I agree it’s fair to criticise any country for multiple violations of international law or disregard for civilian protection, hence why I am criticising Israel.

I think your point is you think my opinion of Israel is based on generalisations, a lack of objectivity or understanding of the context - if you want to hold that view, by all means, but you have to be able to actually point to ways in which I am guilty of what you suggest for it to hold any weight.

Just vaguely suggesting that ‘objectivity is important’ or ‘we should always consider the context’ are not points in themselves.

This reads like a tourism ad and is largely irrelevant - I am criticising Israel for their military conduct, nothing else. Their record on diversity or tech innovation does not provide any justification for war crimes, obviously.

As if it needs to be said, I do not support Hamas and have condoned their actions many times on this thread - my support is for civilians who are being murdered in droves, and my only interest is the preservation of innocent human life.

I assume you mean condemned

Well spotted, thanks - post edited.

I guess semantics can be helpful sometimes
