Okay, and how is that relevant? Is it his fault or something?

I really don't get why you think it's relevant at all when we are talking about a civilian's death.

Some idiot said "who cares" about his death because apparently Israeli civilians don't deserve to live or something I dunno. I said that the victim was still a civilian.

And you essentially just shrugged. The only way I can interpret that is that you think Israeli civilian lives don't matter.

Please just fuck off, people like you just make everyone else believe that supporters of Palestine are bad people (or as they put it "Nazis") and that they think that Israel should be cleansed. I'm not saying you think that but you have a special ability to be a fucking idiot and say shit that some would possibly attribute to "Nazis".

TLDR: Just fuck off.

bruh, can't you read? i literally spelled it out for you. where did i say it his fault? WHERE? he wouldn't have died if his GOVERNMENT not actively doing genocide.

I never said you said it was his fault.

I asked you again because that is the only thing that I would blame on him personally. It's obviously not his fault and thus his death is unfortunate.

Please take a course in reading comprehension.

It doesn't matter at all what his "GOVERMENT" did.

There are three parties in this war: Israel/IDF, Hamas, and civilians.

A persons country of origin is completely irrelevant when it comes to civilians. It's always bad that civilians die no matter what any non-civilian party did.

He was a civilian, and he was killed because of actions from both non-civilian parties. Saying that his death doesn't matter (which you absolutely implied in response to my comment, both in writing and in emoji) just because someone else killed him doesn't make it less of a tragedy. And the fact that you dismissed his death just because the IDF had a part in killing, makes you a pretty terrible person.
