You asked why they were ‘in shackles’ when they were teenagers as if they had no reason to be in custody, which is not the case. Yes, some for attempted murder (but not all). I used a more extreme, but clarified later. I think there was bias on show in how you spoke of it, because it assumed ill reason for them to be in custody, when all offenses would find juveniles imprisoned elsewhere.
I have not claimed to be a pacifist and would not. It is not dissimilar to my position other conflicts, like WWII, Korea and other conflicts I think are justifiable. When terrorists commit a pogrom I can only see conflict as inevitable and the fault of Hamas. No hypocrisy there.
I cannot comment on everything about the conflict, because I do not know everything, so it’s hard for me to make specific examples of Israeli wrongdoing in terms of targets. I do think it was telling that there were a lot of complaints about the existence of tunnels, but that seems to have been goalpost shifted on social media now the tunnels are becoming strongly evident. As for Netanyahu in this war, I wish his government didn’t make such incendiary and horrendous remarks, arm settlers in the West Bank and do not like his comments about territorial gain. I have condemned that before, do now and think he needs to be reigned in.
