> military targets that.. happens to [be] below hospitals?
It is tragic that folks in the Anglosphere do not realise how this sounds to someone from a neutral country, say India.
Surely a rational person cannot believe that hamas uses babies as human shields, but at election time they are virtuous and organise free and fair elections?
Unless you also believe that Russian referendum conducted in Crimea, at gunpoint point, was free and fair?
When Russian military would bomb a school, they would also do a press release about a bunker under than school. I think this is copyright infringement
I am not defending Hamas or saying the government is legitimate. Quite the opposite. I am attacking the analogy with China. I wanted to emphasize that China attacking a US city due to the actions of some American terrorist citizens is a flawed analogy because the terror that is coming from Gaza is not just some citizens but it‘s state sponsored, by the Gaza government and of course also by Iran.
Is there a history of America bombing China (like Hamas is doing in Israel)?
Is the US government in fact firing rockets at China at the very moment when China retaliates with the bombing?
Are the Chinese bombs in your scenario actually carpet bombing or are they bombs or missiles directed at specific military targets that America happens to build below hospitals?
