Damn, if only there were more than just the two options. I mean, we stop funding genocide and then Hamas immediately wins, that's the only possible way it could go, right?
Iran and Qatar, who funds Hamas, would, without US Support of Israel, almost certainly carry out their "jihad" (a genocide of its own).
We have to get Israel to stop killing Palestinians, and also get the Arab world to stop killing Jews.
A sad fact is that the money given to Israel saves more lives than it steals.
Are you just dense? The idea isn't "no funding for Israel" the idea is "no funding for Israel until they start following international law and stop indiscriminately killing."
Hamas is awful and should be destroyed but two wrongs don't make a right and Israel is going much too far. Israel isn't attacking Hamas at this point. They are doing to the Gazans what Hamas did to Israel, but a hundred fold worse. They are acting like either a terrorist organization or a genocidal regime.
I'm all for Israel defending itself. I am mostly okay with funding Israel to defend itself and stand up for itself. I am absolutely not for funding genocide and wars of retribution. At this point Israel needs to be brought to heel and, when safe, needs to be held accountable for its crimes and it's long term policies of apartheid.
Where did I say I was against Israel following international law and stopping the indiscriminate killing?
Hint: I didn't.
Do you want to retry having a good faith discussion with me?
Where did I accuse you of being in favor of indiscriminate killing?
Hint: I didn't.
Do you want to try engaging with my argument that we shouldn't continue funding for Israel until they stop the genocide and follow international law?
I am sorry but you don't get to misrepresent me and then demand I respond to your comments based off those misrepresentations.
I am blocking this account of yours for bad faith, but I fully welcome you to try again with one of your alts.
I'm pre-emptively blocking you since you have been arguing for genocide all over this thread, and then strawmanning anyone that calls you on it.
You're in bad need of some actual life experience. I've yet to see you have a sane take on anything.
You can't point to one single pro genocide comment I have made, and you know it.
You are censoring anti-Hamas people. Let's not lie and sugarcoat.
"we gotta genocide them before they can genocide us."
Yeah dude, pre-emptive genocide. Does Israel have pre-cogs in sensory deprivation tanks or some shit?
I never said that, nor implied that. Did you mistakenly respond to me, or are you just being a liar?
Nope, definitely replied to the right comment.
By the way, does this ever work? It's very clear what I was doing, and the fact that you can't defend the position when it is worded bluntly says a lot.
Genocide apologia... Fucking disgusting.
Why would I defend a position that you have invented for me? I'm sorry, but that's incredibly stupid.
If you have to pretend other people support genocide to feel like you won an argument, that says something about you.
Lol.
If you want to come force words in my mouth, you can come do it yourself, big boy.
Oh no! What are you gonna do, murder my extended family and turn my neighborhood into an open air prison?
My concern is that this genocide has given you a sense of purpose, and you are having too much fun to ever let it end.
Real people in the real world don't talk to each other like this, and I think you might want to consider taking your humanity back.
What the fuck is wrong with you? What a disgusting thing to say. I would say that you should be ashamed, but we've already established that shame is not something you experience.
Massive self-report though. You are so incapable of understanding that a person could care so much about people they've never met, that you're searching for possible alternatives and grasping at straws. "This guy cannot possibly care this much about another human being, therefore, there must be an ulterior motive." At least we all know you're a sociopath now.
The fucking gall...
You are allowed to say whatever disgusting thing comes into your mind, even offering your family to goad somebody you believe is genocidal.
What I said is the truth. This is fun for you. Even the crocodile tears you now show is just part of a game for you.
You haven't helped a single Palestinian by accusing random people on the internet of being pro-genocide. How can you? You refuse to even hold an honest discussion with people who are anti-Hamas.
So maybe leave the saving lives to honest people who are able to actually help the Palestinians until you are willing to be one of them.
You must have gotten distracted during your fit but you forgot to address the pre-emptive genocide.
Not preemptive, the Jihad was first called by Iran in 1992, I believe.
We have two belligerent sides and a people trapped in the middle. I think trying to pull gotchas online with people on the same side as you is doing nothing to help those people.
Do you disagree?
Alright, I understand that a lot of people have called you out on your logical inconsistencies in this thread so you must be confused about what I'm referring to. You used the argument I quoted as a reason why the U.S. should not stop funding Israel's genocide, because if they did then Iran and Qatar would commit genocide against Israel. When prole mentioned how wrong the idea of pre-emptive genocide is, you went off on a tangent. A pretty tasteless one. Are you going to address the pre-emptive genocide idea?
I don't disagree. I've seen on this thread that you try to change the subject whenever someone questions your idea so I hope you will finally address the pre-emptive genocide idea that was brought up some 10 comments ago. And it's ok to make mistakes and change your mind when you get new information or a new understanding. It's a good thing.
I think it takes a lot of pretending on your part to construe my saying that Western money until now has saved more lives on both sides than it has taken as me saying that preemptive genocide is okay is probably one of the most dishonest things anybody has yet said in this thread.
It's not a good thing when your income depends on not changing your mind about that specific thing.
Dude accidentally showed a bit of true colors there, and there's no way they'll ever honestly respond to questions about it.
No doubt. Check their post history, it's a hasbara account. I was just trying to be diplomatic, although I did appreciate your comment that got removed by the mods. "I'm the calm one, but my crew is sorta sick" lol.
Oh I've seen this one all over the place the past few days. Working overtime.
I don't even remember what I said lol...
I kind of hope they actually get paid for this and they're not this broken that they volunteer to be like this for free.
Bro, listen to yourself... What reality are you living in?
Also noticed that you forgot to mentioned that Israel and your boy Benjamin Netanyahu himself has directly funded Hamas.
Good thing I have never supported Netanyahu then, isn't it?
As evidenced by me getting down voted for saying both sides have to stop killing each other.
The dirty little secret about communists and anarchists is that many of them hate Jews as much as the most extreme Nazi.
Funny you say that, when Israel is a Nazi state
If you guys don't mean Jews when you say Israel, why do you respond with Israel when I specifically say Jews?
Hmm
Calm down, Nazi bitch.
You were responding directly to my comment that many leftists hate Jews.
Don't give away your game so easily.
I would say come do it yourself, but we both know that would probably mean you don't get to bomb that synanagogue you are prepping to do in 6 weeks.
