Israel’s military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.

The agency, known as UNRWA, posted its warning on social media on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.

“Ask Hamas if you can have some,” the IDF wrote.

    Isreal is literally committing genocide on a larger scale than Hamas could ever dream of.

    Your argument is that Isreal is morally permitted to inflict actual genocide in response to a perceived threat of genocide?

    You’re either oblivious to reality or living in denial, and most certainly engaging in emotional reasoning; not logic.

        So you deny Isreal’s mass murder of innocent Palestinians? Or do you just not understand the meaning of the words “literally” and “genocide”?

          This, but you.

          Also your use of “murder” is inappropriate in this context.

            Nice “no u” response, hahahaha.

            Alright, you’re either a troll or the lowest common denominator, and not worth wasting my time either way.

            Go ahead and get the last word in so you can tell yourself you “won” an argument, or whatever other self-deluded rationalizations you like to commit. I don’t feed trolls, so I’m not gonna bite.

                Hahahahaha I bet you don’t even see the irony and hypocrisy of your claim here.

                He made a bunch of baseless claims, emotional reasoning, logical fallacies, ad hominem, and “no u” as his strongest point.

                This is like below average middle school level debate. If you’re reading his comments and thinking he’s making strong logical arguments, then I am honestly sad for both of you.

                    No, you just support the action of families being murdered. From what I’ve been seeing from the Pro-IDF voices these past few weeks, that makes you just as bad as the people committing the atrocities.

            I mean, “they threw rocks at tanks, so they deserved to die” may be a pretty shitty justification to kill civilians, but it’s still murder.

            You are no better than people openly supporting Hamas.

              Which of the attacks in October involved throwing rocks at tanks, again?

              It must’ve been a pretty big rock Islamic Jihad threw when they blew up part of their own hospital.

                You think I’m talking about October? No, I’m talking about all the other times Palestinian kids were killed for tenuous reasons…

                But sure, if that’s the metric you want to use… which of the Palestinian children who died as a result of Israel’s response to the recent attacks deserved to die?

                  It’s not a tenuous reason. If you throw shit at an army in a war zone they’re going to shoot you. That’s just how reality works.

                  I’m strongly opposed to Israel’s dumbass heavy-handed reapons s to prior attacks. Their leadership has been idiotic. That doesn’t make them intentionally targeting civilians.

                    I was in Iraq during the war. Kids threw rocks and bottles at our HMMWVs all the time. You know what we didn’t do? We didn’t shoot them. Normal civilized armies have rules of engagement.

                    At least argue from a position of honesty and admit that you don’t give a shit about Palestinian civilians being used as fodder by both sides.
