   What's especially... idk... instructive(?) about yesterday's calamity, is that the whole "human shields" trope has completely disintegrated as a result of Israel's reckless decision to willingly put civilians in harm's way.

   Hezbollah wasn't hiding. They were in public, or in their homes and Israel decided to detonate bombs irrespective of who might be harmed.

   Israel simply wants to maim and murder as many brown people as they can. And the United States is intent on granting them the privilege.

     The enduring objection to October 7th is that Hamas killed civilians in addition to military targets. But Israel has demonstrated time and time again that they are not at all worried about targeting civilians, even when a "military" target is nowhere in the vicinity of the attack.

     Which essentially nullifies the objections to October 7th entirely. Either civilians are off limits or they're not. And Israel has declared war on all Arabs, irrespective of their political affiliation.
