How many thousands of women and children were simply LIVING in their homes when Israel voluntarily and with full knowledge of their civilian presence dropped a 1,000lb JDAM on them to eliminate a singular HAMAS target or two?
Look I’m voting for Harris but I really, really dislike how she goes into explicit detail on the events of October 7th but doesn’t go into explicit detail on Palestinians crushed, decapitated, blown in half or to bits by explosives, maimed, shot, and yes sometimes raped by IDF.
This double-standard of evocative imagery is in itself pretty disturbing.

Fuck the men that didn’t want to die, I guess
Bad faith argument. Be better.
Women and children are generally given as examples because they’re widely perceived as unambiguously not combatants compared to men by most people.
Nobody’s saying "fuck the men that didn’t want to die". If someone says "how many women and girls were simply living their lives when they were sexually assaulted" and your immediate and only response is "so what, no one cares about men and boys who were sexually assaulted?", can you see why that’s kind of a nonsensical conclusion to make?
Exactly. Pretty obvious because it leaves no low-hanging fruit for an Israeli apologist to say something like, “those men were probably Hamas.”
It just makes for a more tight and rhetorically effective argument.
