All I was trying to do was get a conversation going on the ethics of attacking someone who's using third-party innocence as shields, and not literally pass judgment on what's going on on the ground today, just using it as an example for the overall ethical discussion.
There was a scifi book I read some decades ago they had the exact same scenario, and I was just trying to get input from today's Humanity to see if it jives with the solution that the author of the novel had come up with.
People are being too emotional and defensive to have these kind of conversations though it seems.
I was just trying to create content on Lemmy for us to read.
If you want to talk about ethics on Lemmy, go create an ethics discussion community or host your own server. Discussing "ethics" in the context of Israel's actions and policies is something that I have done over and over and over, unproductively. In less tense times, it is usually stuff like "should driving on highways be illegal on saturdays around the orthodox community?" and stuff like that.
If you come onto a thread that is specifically about what is going on Israel right now, and say "I'm just trying to have an ethical discussion," it comes off as extremely disingenuous. I'm sorry.
You're taking my words out of context of the whole conversation that's happening, and being intellectually dishonest.
I was speaking about that question, as a "jumping off point" to the larger discussion on what's happening in Gaza right now.
Again, no it's not disingenuous because it covers what's being discussed in the very same topic. It's real time and it's happening.
You cannot hand wave that away as much as you want to. Both can be true, and allowed.
You're just being emotional and defensive when you don't need to be, to protect your team.
I'm not attacking your team, I'm just trying to have a conversation.
De-railing a conversation is a very well recognized form of logical fallacy. De-railing a thread is considered very poor etiquette on internet forums. I'm sorry for assuming we were having a conversation about the topic of the thread.
One person's derailing is another person's continuing and/or expanding.
I accept your apology.
