You mean the water system which has been cannibalized for years by Hamas to create mortars used to attack Israeli civilians?
Who's blowing everything in Gaza up?
Here's the article.. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd119dz515wo
If the infrastructure wasn't intentionally sabotaged by Hamas there would be less suffering. Water infrastructure in Gaza has been suffering for years due to Hamas' actions. Bombing provoked by October 7th and the continued holding of hostages has exacerbated the problem but let's not pretend that municipal water "run" by a genocidal terrorist group was serving all innocent Palestinians with the water they needed prior to the war.
Your argument is my least favourite, because what you're saying is at least largely true (not sure about everything you've said but most of it)... But it's also irrelevant and absolutely neither an excuse for Israel's actions. At all. This is the worst kind of whataboutism.
That shit is very much like the Nazis blaming the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto for what the Nazis were doing to them.
The ethno-Fascists style of excuse is the same for Zionists as it was for Nazis with little more than the names of the "ethnics" and of the "places" changed.
Sure, but if the entire city wasn't bombed to rubble then there would be a LOT less suffering. Calling for ending the destruction of a whole community of people, including mostly civilians and children, shouldn't get horrible people like you coming out of the woodwork to push back on calls for mercy and compassion for people who have done nothing to deserve what's being done to them.
People like you break my heart. I will tell my friends and family about you personally. I want you to know that. I will tell them tonight how I was just seeing a bad person online who supports the mindless murder of civilians. Some random person who had to type out their defense and justification for inflicting suffering on innocent people. You are an example so thank you, I can screen-shot this and compile this along with others who support genocide and suffering of people for their skin color and ethnicity, and maybe your little comment here will make it into a history book someday.
What side of history do you think you'll land on anyway? I would offer you a lot of historical examples of similar situations and the people who had takes like yours.
I hope you and your family are well. I'm sorry that the most interesting thing you have to talk about is my comment on some meme.
You're more sorry about that than justifying genocide?
