US, UK and western governments are quick to use the phrase, “Collateral damage…” and that it’s inevitable in any war.
I would agree, if it wasn’t because the same countries that are speaking about Collateral damage are the same nations that talk highly about how precise Israel can strike. And yet, most of the times Israel bombs something, they target infrastructure with displaced people and create hundreds of martyr, hundreds of disabled Palestinians. Do Israelis living abroad really think that fleeing the country and hiding in western countries is going to make them feel safe?
Each time an Israeli strike takes place in Gaza and kills loads of innocent people, the story is the same.. “There was Hamas terrorist in the building…” or the best one so far “There was a Hamas Control Center…”. They never come with the actual proof and when they finally decide to fabricate some lies, they are often full of errors. Look at what they “found” in Al-Shifa hospital, look at the people they said were inside the school that was bombed last week? Most of the people on the list were either dead or in some professional trade and not associated with Hamas’ Military wing.
But let’s forget the above, let’s go with the fact that for a western government, it’s okay to have collateral damage. Let’s assume US, UK and other western countries rage in war with Israel against Iran, Iraq and Yemen. I assume if that is the case, then it’s perfectly fine for Iran to use their ballistic missiles to target households of soldiers based in the UK, may they either be UK soldiers of dual citizens of Israel/UK and eliminate entire house holds or neighbourhoods? It’s collateral damage right. This happens.
Luckily for the deprived nations of US, UK and many european countries that are supporting the genocide with their silence, they are facing a Muslim enemy. We are obliged to fight fair and also the reason why you don’t see any hostages being raped or tortured.
“But what about the 7th of October…” well fuck everyone that is on illegal occupied land of Palestine and died that day (here I’m referring to the Israeli occupiers that died), what do you think is going to happen when you are having a party on illegally occupied land? Should you be remembered as an innocent soul who just went to a party down the road? No, you were on land that was stolen and did NOT belong to you in any way. If you die under such circumstances, then no tears from here or sad feelings. You reap what you sow.
