especially after misfired Hamas rockets have killed numerous Palestinian civilians yesterday, but maybe you disagree.

It's good to see that some forms of denial are acceptable. 

 

Others? Not so much.

Fair enough, I'll shed some light on what I'm referring to. Somebody linked a tweet responding to 'nine children killed' saying 'how are the Children fighting'. Howie then responded 'not effectively'. I generally don't respond to jokes about these sorts of things, because humour can be dark and full of terrors, so I let them go. Nobody finds it funny that Jews have been killed, nobody finds it funny that kids have been killed. Nobody here anyway.

 

Right, I must have missed that. Of course the actual answer is that the children aren't fighting, they're being used by Hamas as human shields, which is a war crime. I'm sure someone in this thread will criticise Hamas for that, one day.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Human shields killed by a misfiring rocket. 

 

Amazing. 

 

I love a game of war crime apologist bingo. 

[Jairzinho]

Pretty sure I speak for everyone on this thread when I say we wholeheartedly support everything Hamas has ever done.

Right, I must have missed evidence of that being posted in this thread. Of course, the actual answer is that anybody using anybody as a human shield is utterly reprehensible and sickening. In general - as, apparently, is testament to my ignorance of events - I find dead civilians, especially children, to be sickening. 
 

Now, about that evidence that the nine children being referenced were being used as human shields, so I can then make a more specific condemnation. Can I see it please. Alongside the ones where they were also simultaneously killed by misfiring rockets whilst being a human shield.

Indeed. I know I’m a big fan, as proven by my I <3 Hamas tattoo. And, if you find dead kids sickening, you have no idea what’s actually going on. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I just want to cut to the bit when we're all called antisemities because we're only criticising Israel and turning a blind eye to the government inflicted violence in Burundi.

Yeah, I didn't get that either.

You know as well as anyone that Hamas terrorists embed themselves among civilians. This is not a new thing.

 

I don't know where you got the idea that children were simultaneously killed by misfiring rockets while being a human shield. A family of seven, including three children, were killed by a misfired Hamas rocket, which is not an unusual occurrence unfortunately, because those rockets are hugely indiscriminate. Other people, predominantly terrorists but likely including some civilians, were killed by Israeli strikes.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

So, does mean that we're to take it that there's no EVIDENCE whatsoever of the misfiring Hamas rocket stuff and it is simply an unsubstantiated allegation at this juncture? 

 

Yeah. I think it does.

Why would I disagree? I don't think anybody being killed is a cause for jokes. I didn't think it when Nelly said it and I didn't think it yesterday when TheHowieLama made a joke bout dead kids. The difference here is that you reacted to one and not the other. Why?

What the fuck are you on about you clueless blert?!

 

Read the thread back to yourself slowly. The giant whoosh sound was funny enough the first time.

Why are you being a cunt? You were a cunt yesterday and you’re now being a cunt again. I’m not clueless, certainly not because you just typed a thing on the Internet.

Going to sum this up for Liverpool Lad.

 

This is me ^^^^^pointing out the complete radio silence on this thread at the time

This is me pointing out the absurdity of kids fighting.

I have been waiting here patiently since Friday evening.

This is me pointing out that it was awhile before anyone had a say.

Thanks for waiting in here patiently since Friday to tell me that. I guess. 

This is you still not getting it.

Right. Good stuff. So ‘getting’ your ‘joke’ was reliant on some shit that I hadn’t read, replied to, referenced, or quoted? Yeah, I’m not particularly interested in you being a cunt about this.

Yea mate - no reason for stuff.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Sadio being the daddio! 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Alrighty then. Glad we didn’t clear that one up. 
 

Edit: fucking Nelly. Can’t you see we are having fistycuffs here? 

[3 Stacks]

Sounds like Sadio needs to educate himself about Hamas using children as human shields before posting such a message.

[Bjornebye]

Look at all the children being held up as shields in this building here....... Oh right. This, this right here is a war crime.

C’mon Stig, that was quite clearly a Palestinian Hill Giant dressed in a tower block burqua. What else were the poor, under-equipped IDF to do?

Watching Iron Dome working is incredible.  Search for the vids on Twitter.

Yeah saw that. Like something out of the future. Saving lots of innocent lives though. If only both sides had one.
