Maybe what I said was too harsh, sorry. It’s just what seems the logical conclusion in the following sense:
The Hamas and its militants are Gazans themselves.
They have an ideology stipulating that self-sacrifice is a good thing if the cause is holy.
Such ideology comes from the religious upbringing that apply to most Gazans (even those not affiliated to Hamas)
So, in accordance with their beliefs, they see no problem using their own citizens as sacrifices for their goal of destroying Israel.
I’m not saying everyone from Gaza will happily throw away their lives for such a “holy cause”. I’m just saying that there are those who believe this and would commit self-sacrifice, and in my view, it’s an act of devaluing their own lives.
This would be unthinkable in the western countries, because of the christian values spread across its population that dictates self-sacrifice/suicide is a sin.
No, no it doesn’t. Suicide is a sin but Christianity absolutely glorifies self-sacrifice for the religion. I mean you’ve heard of martyrs right? It became a core tenant of the religion in the early roman days that dying for the faith gets you straight into heaven. Glorifying dying for the faith is a massive part of Christianity too. In Islam committing suicide is a sin unless you’re self-sacrificing yourself for the faith and dying for the faith also gets you straight into heaven. Just like in Christianity. They’re both Abrahamic faiths and have a lot of the same roots.
So yeah what the fuck are you talking about? They are no more self-sacrificing than anyone else. They’re just fucking people. They’re all just people. Why can’t we just treat them like people?
What the fuck
