Good thing there’s only 2066 of them. 2065 now.
Remind me what Americas 2nd Ammendment is about?
“But these other conflicts are okay, why can’t Israel do one?” I fail to see the comparison with these other conflicts, where neither has 2 million people in a giant open air concentration camp being starved of food, water, electricty, sanitation, and then getting bombed by US/UK sold weapons. Yes those conflicts are terrible, the Sudanese civil war is terrible with over 60,000 deaths so far, we just want Gaza to not top that as the Lancet reckons Gaza is facing at least 186,000 deaths - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext - The problem is there can’t be an accurate count because Israel won’t let independent investigators in, also unlike the other conflicts you mentioned where independent investigations ARE allowed in. The fact that you’d point out these other conflicts, only to compare Israel to them as being MORE dishonest, doesn’t help Israels cause or your own. No matter what you say, you won’t convince us to accept genocide when it’s happening to Palestinians or anyone else.
Would be easier to continue if our state apprati didn’t protect them. You’d get shot by police for shooting at Nazi’s now.
The reason why people are focusing on one side is because one side killed ~1200 while the other has killed ~44,000. It’s like being a victim of a driveby shooting on 9/11 and complaining “Why is everyone only focusing on the Twin Towers?” The problem with pro-Israel supporters is that they somehow can’t seeem to tell the difference between 1200 and 44,000, it’s almost as if the 44,000 doesn’t matter because they’re Palestinian, and the 1200 matters more because they’re Israeli. If Israel killed 1200 and then Hamas returned by killing 44,000, we’d be focusing on Hamas, but that isn’t the case is it?
But wait for it, I can see the Hasbara talking point incoming - “Those are Hamas numbers.” Well the 1200 is Israeli numbers, and everyone now realizes their numbers are lest trustful, because they’re not the ones lying to the world and blocking independent investigative journalism. If you believe Israel is telling the truth, why not let in independent investigation?
Didn’t we used to kill Nazi’s and celebrate their demise in movies like Indiana Jones?
I think it’s more dehumanizing to be the one who kills those people. What the hell is wrong with people? Is murder suddenly okay then?
US military can literally hit one target in a building using a literal knife missile - https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/pentagon-used-six-bladed-ginsu-weapon-to-kill-iraqi-militia-leader-7dfe0687
Israel proved they could target precision strike an Iranian general in a single room.
There is in fact an expectation for the military to not bomb indiscriminately, except when in the case of Gaza they choose to bomb indisciminately.
The Hutu’s used the term “cockroaches” to dehumanize. The Nazi’s used “rats”. But at least those are living creatures. But “a shield”, calling a human being a shield, as if they’re an inanimate object meant to be struck, as if they’re a nuisance that you’re meant to get through to hit your target? Calling these civilians “human shields” is a new low for dehumanizing language, and Israel defenders don’t realize what kind of monster everyone else sees them as. So wild that it’s considered acceptable language by mainstream culture, fucking terrifying.
Why? Everything’s going according to plan.
Don’t worry, Israel is going to sacrifice the red cow this month - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-west-bank-settlers-red-cows-third-temple Israel’s crazy death cult religion wants to bring about the end of the world with fire to cleanse the world during rapture, so your sick-fuck wish might come true.
EDIT - https://allisrael.com/blog/what-do-five-red-heifers-have-to-do-with-the-oct-7-massacre <- Israeli source in case you think this is some anti-semetic hogwash, it’s not. They just omit in the article the slaughtering of the cow as part of the ritual.
I respect the effort. I feel like these conversations are many drops but are creating a collective tidal wave, I just find the concept of defending mass murder over learning something new is such an alien concept to me like I can’t have conversations with people who are so bad faith, like, to a point where its homicidal. It’s scary.
I thought it was just bots on reddit saying this Hasbara pro-IDF Nazi-esque genocide justification but there are actually people everywhere thinking like this. We truly live in dark times. IDF are engineering something worse than fuckin Leningrad in WW2, and there are soooo many people openly defending it, I can’t believe people can be so simultaneously heartless and brainless just KILL KILL KILL. It’s like a nightmare I can’t wake up from.
This guy has been spouting genocide justification in other threads as well, they’re a lost cause. They’ve written essays about how all Palestinians are Hamas and should all be wiped out, denying that starvation is even happening, etc. Good luck trying to save this one!
Well said.
Dude anyone defending Israel at this point is devoid of humanity. This guy literally shrugs off aide workers being murdered with precision strikes, let alone thousands of innocent deaths. They’ve demonstrated their belief that 1,500 Israeli lives are significantly more important than 32,000+ Palestinians. “They’re killing less every day” lie as if it’s a good thing, makes me sick. The amount of time they take to write out their long-winded comments excusing mass murder is fucking shocking, and I can’t believe people like them actually exist. Israel could nuke New York, say it was Hamas, and this brainwashed idiot would believe it even if their own family was killed in that strike.
Where is the proof that there are thousands of UNRWA employees that helped Oct 7th happen? I tried looking it up and couldn’t find anything.
The jokes on you for asking a conservative to read.
