Yeah, I'm angry and even violently so, but not out of a hatred of a group. I think OP's boss is an asshole, and I think Israel are not the good guys right now, but I also think antisemitism is no better and I don't want anyone innocent, like children, getting caught in the crossfire like they were during the Holocaust and like they are being today in Gaza.

…what?

Sorry, can you explain how you think children died in the Holocaust because of crossfire?

Okay, that's cherrypicking. I am not saying it was crossfire like any Jews deserved to die, they didn't. I'm saying that anyone calling children "just collateral damage" is evil, because THAT'S what I meant by crossfire, "they are not just collateral damage, you CHOSE not to care that your actions might hurt innocents".

If they are, in fact, collateral casualties to a military action, why is that “evil”?

Doesn’t that depend on whether the military conflict itself is justified? If Ukraine strikes a Russian weapons depo and it unbeknownst to them happens to be Take Your Vatnik to Work day, they’re likely to wipe out at least a couple of families. Is that truly “evil”? Isn’t that just an unfortunate tragedy in an ongoing tragedy called “war”?
