Those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge, quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear, walk hand in hand

The righteous rise with burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat, and burn, and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us
Our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theatres and bookstore shelves

Lyrics...tyvm Neil Peart

The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torch lit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
Mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best

Maybe try ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary...

Or perhaps the Geneva convention

There is no evidence that the ambulance was being used for any reason which would exempt it.

It's pointless arguing with a zealot.

Fundamentally disagree.

Extreme views on both sides do nothing for long term peace.
I get that Hamas have to be neutralised, but there has to be a better way.

I'm not avoiding the question.
But I'm not going to make unfounded speculation.

Ambulances and hospitals are never legitimate military targets.
November 5, 2023 at 12:40 PM
To get back to the original point.
There is violence on both sides.
I absolutely condemn Hamas.
There are a lot of innocent civilians being trapped and killed.
The cycle of violence will not stop until we take a different approach.

Might want to check other newspapers which do state that the fighters were seriously wounded.
November 5, 2023 at 12:33 PM
Doesn't say that they weren't wounded. And still doesn't justify targeting ambulances and hospitals
November 5, 2023 at 12:15 PM
Not exactly an independent source.
November 5, 2023 at 11:04 AM
I never said it was, but it doesnt justify annihilating large numbers of civilians.
Ambulances?? Seriously 🙄
November 5, 2023 at 4:09 AM
I care about innocent civilians. I care what Hamas did
& the Israeli response.

The images try to justfy the murder of Palestinian Civilians. "Defending yourselves" 🙄

Hamas are Palestinian, but most palestinian are not Hamas

It. Is not acceptable to target refugee camps, hospitals and ambulances.

The world was a very different place 60 years ago.

Re your earlier comment. We will have to agree to disagree. I thought it was dismissive of many people's experience

I'm sure there are many different circumstances surrounding adoption. Your post appears to dismiss the possibility that in some cases it may well be an escape from an impossible situation.
October 27, 2023 at 9:39 PM
Sorry, but I don't recognise your description of a "kind of violent amputation". As an adopted person I know my mother was in an impossible position and chose to have me adopted. To give me a chance. I will always be grateful
