    You do see how Hamas employing child soldiers and then lumping them in with dead civilian numbers to generate outrage is deceptive though, right? Because that was my point.

      It’s literally not deceptive because child soldiers are civilians under international law. Extra clarification isn’t necessary.

      Hamas is doing nothing wrong by not identifying dead children as legitimate military targets, because they never are.

        That’s an insane take and I think you know that. Let’s end this discussion here.

          It’s insane that you think child soldiers are legitimate military targets.

          We should end this discussion before I say something that gets me banned lol

            Sometimes there isn’t a point worth making to someone with a position not worth holding. They’re just wasting your time.

              It’s not like my time is valuable lol

              Also, I find articulating my opinions actually makes them better. Often these are just angry thoughts buzzing around in my head, so writing them all out like this helps me focus my ideas. Don’t worry, I am not trying to convince anyone of anything when I argue on the internet.

            Child soldiers are legitimate military targets the second they pose a military threat. That’s awful, but how war works. Have a nice day.
