So then we shouldn’t say anything nice about Israel? They’ve killed Palestinians at a rate of something like 7 to 1.

Yeah, truly no good guys in this fight, just dead civilians

I think it’s a big difference if civilians die as part of collateral damage or if they are actively targeted and kidnapped in terrorist attacks, like the Hamas does it. Also don’t forget that the Hamas is happily accepting civilians casualties as part of their strategy, because it’s gets radicalized people into their ranks and also paints a much more sinister image of Israel.

If an IDF soldier fucks up and commits a horrible act are they held accountable? Having an official policy means nothing if it isn’t enforced.

Honestly, yeah. At least about the Israeli government.

Unless you are a damn hypocrite, you shouldn’t accept anyone committing war crimes, killing civilians and so on.

Obviously supporting a terror organization is also horrible.

Seriously. Why can’t people wrap their heads around the idea that both of these fundamentalist religious groups suck and should be kept from power.

I swear people think super villains are cartoonishly evil people. No. They’re just supremely self-righteous people. And theres no quicker road to being a self righteous cunt than to believe you are gods chosen.

This is how I explained it to my parents when they asked me what was going on

No, why would we?

It’s possible to think both the Israeli government and Hamas are trash.

According to the United Nations, roughly 6,400 Palestinians and 300 Israelis had been killed in the ongoing conflict since 2008, not counting the recent fatalities.

6400/300 in 200 You right, it’s 21 to 1.

NonCredibleDefense

!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Create post

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
