    So, Israel deemed the 7 World Food Kitchen Aid workers killed in the convoy was a legit target out of "military necessity?"

    It’s not fair Hamas doesn’t have F35 and F15s to drop guided munitions…… so they had no choice but to waste a whole
    Year under a ceasefire to plan an attack on civilians and when they got the first hint at resistance they turn and run and hide behind their own kids. You just don’t understand the oppressed Hamas.

    80-90% of all deaths in urban combat are civilians. Point the finger at the people who started this during the most recent ceasefire

    How dare you call me an antisemite. One can be critical of Israeli and Netanyahu policies and not be antisemitic.

    the precedent has been set. I didn’t like Hillary’s proposed policies and was called misogynist and sexist. When I commented I was against Obamacare I was deemed a redneck racist. Any objection to anything Kamala says, no matter how idiotic, and I’m a sexiest and racist. So it makes complete sense that if you oppose anything Israeli you are an antisemite

    So, basically, your argument is that you can take the most extreme version of what anybody said about you, which you would seemingly dispute, and turn it against anybody you feel like whether it is correct or not? All because of your resentment?

    Whataboutism at its finest.
    You really need to look up the definition of anti-semite.
    There are a great number of Jews who do not support Israel's policy regarding Gaza. Are these Jews anti-semites too?

    I said nothing of what you typed. I pointed out that the precedent had been set and calling him an antisemite, regardless of its accuracy, aligns with that precedent. Didn’t say I agreed or disagreed. An no. Not resentful in the least bit. Might be a bit of projection on your part.

    Got it. So whataboutism is not en vogue anymore. It’s difficult to get right. Seems the rules are so fluid to be used and discarded at users leisure on this board. Guess it depends on who is making the argument.

    Was that who they were targeting, or were those people collateral damage to the actual target, like I said?

    IDF targeted each van in that convoy one-by-one.
    This is a fact.

    You said that it "makes complete sense." Seems like agreement to me.

    The initial reporting suggested that they mistook a bag for a gun and targeted the convoy.

    Where were you when the cutesy little slogan about ten people sitting at a table and one is a nazi was being bantered about towards the right on this very board? Lemme guess, lolsing away? What about when DAs were labeled Soros DAs and that was called antisemitic? Until you police your own, why should the right police itself? If one has the same policy goals as anti-semites, you're gonna be called an anti-semite.

    yes. I agree that the logic behind the precedent aligns with the precedent set by others that the poster was labeled an antisemite.

    Huh? I have no idea what you are talking about. Is this about Charlottesville or something?

    Global Jewish conspiracies by rich, shadowy Jewish people are a pretty old antisemitic trope. What is the evidence that suggests that all reform DAs are closely enough tied to him to refer to individuals as him?

    What policy goal is that?

    is it possible that Hamas has already established the willingness to commandeer aid trucks and use them To transport fighters and weapons? Or …. IDF purposely targeted aid workers knowing it strengthens Hamas and doesn’t help them one bit. My bet is on option 1

    I don't think they purposefully targeted aid workers. Nor do I think those aid workers were really Hamas. I think they didn't take appropriate care to avoid bombing aid workers.
