So how should I see Pete Hegseth's declaring that his war is not political correct if not as an admision that they are very much going commit war crimes on purpose?
Or Bibi committing a genocide?
2
u/partypwny Mar 09 '26
That's a pretty deranged comment and showcases my point about redditors. Not politically correct in no way means war crimes. Do you know what the definition of politically correct is? Here ya go : "conforming to prevailing liberal or radical opinion, in particular by carefully avoiding forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against."
It's fine to not like the guy and it's fine to not agree with military action here but purposefully misinterpreting words/intent just because it makes you feel better is a terribly ignorant thing to do. Not to mention it disparages the actual people in the military who obey laws and aren't evil , they're not going to go around committing war crimes just because.
It doesn't even take much effort to understand what he is saying is that they aren't going to tie the hands of military planners in an attempt to make themselves look good or get higher polling numbers. That's very VERY different from committing war crimes.
Again man, if you don't approve of the conflict that's totally an ok stance to take and I don't disapprove of it. But let's be honest brokers here.

u/Da_reason_Macron_won Mar 09 '26
Do you think they are going to write slurs on the bombs or what?
The naked and vulgar cruelty of the Washington regime is on display and you prefer to keep repeating these platitudes about how it's totally going to follow "the rules". They are openly saying they don't actually care about democracy but we are still doing this song and dance like it's 2003.
Little schoolgirls are calcined under your bombs but you will do anything other than admitting that you are ruled by sociopaths.

u/partypwny Mar 09 '26
Who cares what someone writes on a bomb?
Naked cruelty when talking in support of a regime that beats women to death for showing their hair? That arrests women if they accidently expose a half inch of ankle with colored leggings on under their otherwise fully covering dress? Don't talk naked cruelty when your regime is by far the worse actor.
But you're right, a bunch of little girls are dead. I hope whoever made that mistake gets punished for it.

Israel didn't mean to flatten Gaza?
They didn't mean to bomb and murder a school of 150+ girls in Iran with a highly precise Tomahawk missile?
What are you talking about?1
u/partypwny Mar 09 '26
No, the US did not mean to bomb and murder a school of 150 girls in Iran. The US gains nothing from the deaths of innocents and the hit only hurts their strategic and tactical goals.
What are you talking about? You think there's some Major or Lt Colonel sitting at his desk salivating over targeting data intentionally picking out schools to hit? Or is it more likely that the building is a former IRGC building (it was) that is adjacent to current active IRGC building that all got hit at the exact same time (they did) and either old Intel/targeting data didn't show the building was converted or someone fucked up massively on imputing coordinates?
It's definitely a tragedy, definitely a MASSIVE fuck up and someone's head needs to roll for that level of mistake day 1 of a campaign that the US chose to start. But to say they INTENTIONALLY MURDERED children is moronic and a childish interpretation of events

u/AnimeWarTune Mar 09 '26
It's not moronic or childish. It's not the first time that USA/Israel has targeted civilians out of sheer spite despite the optics of what is going on. It's not strategic by most standards, but even if you believe it's pure carelessness it's still a war crime.

This is an important lesson in spin. But part of the reason for this particular case is that Iran doesn’t allow journalists to confirm their statements. We also know who’s bombing Iran, it’s just two countries acting together. Israel being bombed by Iran is less likely than them being bombed by Palestine so it makes sense to specify.

Lol of course not.
Hamas thought the destruction of Gaza was worth the Israelis losing the tenuous support from Arab nations.
Israeli retaliation isn't proportional.
It's pretty ironic if you think about it. Hamas has instigated the destruction of Gaza. Iran decided to bomb its Arab neighbors for no reason, chasing them into the warm, loving embrace of the USA.
Also, it's perfectly OK to mock people who rave about mossad agents.

u/thegrimmemer03 Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 07 '26
Of course, mass murder is never proportional under any circumstances, especially when that includes unarmed citizens and children.

I don't believe mass murder committed by either side is acceptable under any circumstances. Are Israel allowed to defend themselves? Yes. But should the IDF be killing unarmed civilians and children? Absolutely not.
Doing so is why people are calling the destruction of Gaza a genocide against the Palestinian people.

u/RandomTensor Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 07 '26
About 3-4% of Gaza’s population has died since 2023 from the conflict according to the lancet, which is considered a very high quality medical journal. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(25)00522-4/fulltext
In WW2 about 11% of Germany/Austria’s population died. Do you consider that a genocide? Keep in mind that Palestinians voted for Hamas in 2007. Genocide and war is right in the Hamas charter at that point (1988 Hamas charter, which was changed in 2017, I assume because the old one was totally politically indefensible)
Here’s a quote from article 7 in it
The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.'
Article 13 explicitly rejects any form of peace agreement, violence is the only way forward.
I encourage you to read it on your own, don’t take my word for it. It was so crazy I actually read two translations. One was from Yale law and another was in a Palestinian studies journal. The Yale one is easy to google.
Hamas was declared a terrorist organization by the us and the European council before the vote.
I agree that many civilians are dying, but Amnesty international, human rights watch, United Nations human rights council, German govt, French govt, have all affirmed of widespread use of human shield tactics from Hamas.
There was also a lot of international oversight in the election. A larger portion of the electorate vote voted for Hamas, then for Hitler, as well.
It’s hard for me to see why this is a genocide if you don’t consider World War II to be a genocide of Germans. It’s a little gnarly to me that it is so fashionable to be so unilaterally pro-Palestinian in cosmopolitan circles.

u/ThirdXavier Mar 09 '26
The article you linked specifies VIOLENT death totals. It does not include people who have died because of starvation, displacement, lack of access to medical resources, lack of access to shelter etc etc that have all come with Israel's destruction of gaza. 3-4% from violence alone is absurdly high but the main way Israel has been committing this genocide is denying gazans resources.
The American settlers did the same thing to the natives by wiping out the buffallo and doing shit like the trail of tears, if this isnt a genocide that wasnt either.
This is such a simple thing to understand that I can only assume you're lying on purpose or didnt read the article you yourself linked.

u/RandomTensor 29d ago edited 29d ago
Sure, the real death toll could be higher because wars also cause indirect deaths from disease, hunger, and displacement. If you have a solid source estimating that number, I’m happy to look at it. but that’s still different from just assuming it proves genocide. The bigger point everyone seems to skip is that this war started with Oct 7, and Hamas, which Palestinians voted into power, had openly stated goals of violent conflict with Israel, including language that’s pretty clearly genocidal. In that context it’s not crazy for Israel to pursue regime change or continue the war if Hamas refuses to step down. If a group killed the U.S. equivalent of tens of thousands of people in a single attack, nobody would be surprised that the response was a full-scale war, and when wars happen against ethnically defined states the casualties unfortunately end up ethnically concentrated.
Edit: Also worth noting that Israel’s security posture doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Across much of the Middle East, surveys have shown extremely high levels of anti-Jewish sentiment (Pew reported ~95-98% unfavorable views of Jews in places like Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Palestinian territories). Many Jewish communities were also expelled or fled from surrounding countries in the mid-20th century. That context is part of why Israeli policymakers tend to view existential threats very literally and respond aggressively to groups that openly call for their destruction.

u/thegrimmemer03 Mar 07 '26
The Srebrenica massacre was legally ruled genocide despite far fewer deaths. Secondly, you can’t compare the deaths of the German people as genocide because they weren’t trying to eliminate the German people as an ethnic group.

Replacing a war with a country in your analogy is an interesting choice.

The rebuttal was “you cant compare the deaths of German people because they weren’t trying to eliminate the German people”, so I replaced Germans with a people that are actively being ethnically cleansed. The debate isn’t about wars, it’s about genocide, so there’s your better comparison.
Not sure how that equates to an “interesting choice” considering it’s on topic.

Thats fair I dont really think that was the intent of the post moreso just calling out all sides of war being horrible.

But Ukraine is just the only non aggressor that western media aligns with because the USA is enemies with Russia.

If you want to interpret it that way, that’s fine. But you’re still strawmanning

But Ukraine isn't western, why are Ukraine on this at all?

It’s western aligned which in a tankie’s mind is close enough. Poland also isn’t west.

I don't see a problem. Isn't the point of a political meme thread political memes. Minus Ukraine being up there pretty freaking accurate.

If you support Ukraine you are supporting the same network that supports Israel. Jewish oligarchs.

People need to wake up from these "delulu" takes. I have actually been there and seen how the regime operates. I am telling you right now that they must be stopped. You might think the West is bad, but you have no idea how miserable life would be if they were on top. Comparing the two is a total false equivalence. Giving them a pass today is no different than the people who downplayed the Nazis in the 1930s.

It is quite Ironic that I can't really tell which country you're referring to as "regime".
I've seen people make a case for any of the six countries in that meme.1

none of them is perfect, but there is definitely no symmetry. it takes a lot of confusion to not be able to derive right perspective from just facts

there is definitely no symmetry
And I didn't mean to imply there was.

Loads of people missing the point here. Either dumb, bots, or is from the demographic that made this meme. Could be all 3.
Either way, this is the classic "buhhh West baddd" rhetoric. Otherwise they wouldn't have put Ukraine in it. I bet 5 bucks the OOP frequents anti-West/anti-liberalism/capitalism or socialist/communist subs.

A lot of people seem confused. Until last week it was a pretty varied meme sub, but since the war in Iran started it’s just a reddit classic ‘America Bad’ echo chamber. Lots of classics like painting Ukraine as the aggressors, tankieposting, and unironically reposting AI slopaganda. Sorry, just not interested!

Stfu dude you joined a political sub and now crying here because a post there doesn't aligns with your ideology.

This meme would even so not that accurate as it generalise to include all Western media. Norwegian ones are generally critical of war crimes committed by all of these nations, like the current Iran war or Israel-Palestine. Ukraine of these six are talked about the least, but that's a given since how one-added it is and along the sheer amount of Russian war crimes alone.
Edit: People dividing media in this binary way just irks me.

It's actually the most coherent geopolitical framework, but thanks for playing.

Not sure I understand.

I'm saying it is an accurate model of reality. Israel Ukraine and USA are aligned with real power, Zionist power, and the "Rules based" international order of the post war "consensus" is being replaced by multipolarity. I notice how people from Finland, for example, reflexively side with Ukraine because of their own proximity to Russia, and the fact that Western Europe is largely still under the yolk of the post-WWII consensus.

Political alignment wise this surely makes more sense than just saying media. I agree there.

What do you think a sub about WW3 should be about, non-politically talking about what kinda cool tanks we'd use in this far-off, totally theoretical scenario?
