Dive into the World of Insane Videos!
Rules
WE DONT KNOW 100% FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED HERE. Any video like this lacks context.
DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE. This is how distrust for serious, real journalism is formed! It’s why there are juries, it’s why evidence is questioned.
I am zero fan of IDF, war, or killing children. But we do NOT 100% know that that is related to this.
Well as the downvotes you just got show, Lemmy is just another Reddit clone. No place for rational thought. You either jump on the bandwagon or be railroaded out of town.
Also: comment all you want, I don’t have the source video or other corroborating videos or anything else at the time I write this comment. I have one video, I don’t see identification on anyone, and I have an internet stranger account claiming this is an IDF soldier and a Unicef worker. The burden of proof isn’t on me!
Sure, crazy video, but you don't know whether his girlfriend wasn't raped and killed by Hamas on October 7th last year. Don't just judge people from bad times they're having, as hard as that may seem.
Here he is, guys. Lol. What the fuck does a UNICEF worker have to do with Hamas? How is this normal behavior anywhere? That dude should be arrested. I'm guessing he's more of the type of guy that spends bad times around. It may be the I'll fuck you in the ass or the headbutt. Idk.
Here he is, guys. Lol.
Not the first time he's been a tad one-sided on the issue
Look, I get it. I read through this thread, and I get the point you're making, absolutely.
Always, always remember that we're all human and prone to horrible errors of judgement. We don't know the dude, we don't know his story that led up to this.
What you seem to be missing is that a past trauma is no more or less likely than a neutral or positive past. None of those excuse assault and battery. You can absolutely judge a person based on their actions. We do it all the time in jury trials. Him having had some kind of suffering related to Palestine or Hamas wouldn't mean he wasn't guilty of assault and battery, though it might mitigate things for sentencing.
Would those UNICEF workers now be justified in going somewhere, screaming at some Israeli bank teller and head butting them? No. And I think you know that.
I applaud your compassion. We should always consider such things in forming opinions. We also do not have to forego judgement because of that compassion.
Is it really good hearted compassion or is it mental gymnastics trying to blame Hamas for this guy being a dickhead?
Using "maybe Hamas raped someone close to him" isn't exactly "turn the other cheek" in the context of being kind to bullies
