That’s honestly sad. I understand the need to check whether they don't have weapons but tying them like this is too much. And then even the recording screams, "see how we dehumanize them."

I mean, it literally violates the Geneva convention on POWs, even if they are Hamas it's literally immoral either way

I expect Hamas does the same but also you should never drop to Hamas's level.

fundamentally "but X does it too" is a whataboutism, Germany did the holocaust, does that mean we should have put the Germans in camps?

[-] samokosik@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 9 months ago

Exactly, hence why answer is formulated in a way that we should not drop to others' level and do something bad because others are doing something bar, as well.

well since the Israeli government was doing it first, you could argue that Hamas is the one stooping down to their level, since the occupation and mistreatment of Palestinians in Gaza predates Hamas
