Yes, but is that his fault? It's disingenuous to disregard that Hamas was the ones that actually kidnapped him in the first place and from what I can recall most hostages are/were treated quite poorly. The article also mentioned that there is signs of physical abuse on him. In general, people that take people hostage aren't quite nice people. (And no I'm not talking about the Palestinian civilians)
And because I know this crowd: Does this in any way excuse the thousands of Palestinian civilian deaths? No, of fucking course not.
He is still a civilian and his death is as tragic as any other civilian death. He is still a fucking human that did absolutely nothing wrong, just like the Palestinian civilians.
It's almost impossible to discuss this war with people (and especially on Lemmy) You really have to add disclaimers and shit everywhere, otherwise you are either a Nazi for hating Jews or you eat Palestinian children for breakfast. Like this:
- X did this bad thing.
- But Y did this bad thing! Fuck you Nazi!
- Yes Y also did a bad thing, but we are talking about what X did now. Everyone knows Y did a bad thing so there is no need to bring it up every single second.
Just saying that his life matters regardless of his nationality. You and the other user seemed to think that Israeli civilians are somehow worth less.
Your reply and usage of the shrugging emoji seemed to imply that this death was his fault or that it didn't matter just because an Israeli airstrike was involved.
