I guess you would know.

Only one side wants to annihilate the other? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/24/israel-gaza-world-leaders-un-genocide-palestinians. Israeli officials have talked openly about not caring about maximizing damage rather than accuracy, have called Palestinians “human animals,” and have claimed there are…

Israel refuses to entertain serious discussions with Hamas because they consider Hamas a terrorist group, so I’m not so sure what exactly you’re going for there. It would also be “cool” for Israel, the nuclear-armed state with defense systems quite a bit more sophisticated than “hang gliders” and “rockets that miss,”…

Those other countries have come to their aid in the past, militarily at least, and been defeated by Israel. Not sure what else you mean by “come to their aid.” There is only one country that exercises sovereignty in the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, including over the Palestinians living in t…

The judge decides if it’s actionable. If it’s gone to trial, then those claims are presumably actionable. Again, why is it so hard to just say “Wow, he really did act like a piece of shit” instead of looking for reasons to minimize it?

I dunno, read the lawsuit.

Hard to think of much more American than someone facing a censure vote for coming out strongly against slaughtering children and other innocent people. 

Well, what she’s saying is what she was asked to do violated anti-discrimination laws, that’s why she’s suing. And it’s not like you can always just snap your fingers and get another, so we’re back to the point where “self-respect” doesn’t pay the rent or feed you. 

I dunno. How many landlords accept “self-respect” as rent?  How many calories does “self-respect” have?  

Every time you respond to me from now on, I will dismiss you on sight. Up to you whether you want to waste your time or not

I agree the people who ordered the attacks don’t really care about the lives of civilians in Gaza. I’m not sure what point that is supposed to prove. The only entity that has actual sovereign authority over Gaza is Israel. They are the ones who cause the bulk of Gazan suffering.

I don’t think rocket fuel works in incubators, and it is the Israeli government that, very tightly, controls what goes into and out of Gaza m. Any thoughts on what Gazans should do about food, medicine, etc? Or just glib, thoughtless garbage blaming the victims trapped in what is rapidly becoming one of the worst…

Hamas’s attack killed 1,400 Israelis, total. Israel has killed 3,700 Palestinian children and counting. What are we even talking about here? Israel knows, for a 100% fact that their strikes will kill civilians, and in every outbreak of violence in this conflict, Israel’s violence has killed more Palestinian civilians…

How? I don’t think Palestinians in Gaza who follow Israel’s rules are allowed to get weapons, and Hamas, quite famously, has things like rockets and other literal weapons of war. The citizens of Israel have a much easier avenue for getting rid of governments that brutalize Palestinians. 

You don’t, but wrongly pinning the blame for this conflict on religion and expressing hope that secularism prevails as a solution (David Ben Gurion was secular, Netanyahu is secular, lots of secular Zionism is a thing).

Israel obviously should have known that decades of brutal and violent oppression would result in violent retribution by Palestinian militants. See how easy this is? We’re coming up on three times as many children dying in Israel’s retaliation than total Israelis were killed in Hamas’s brutal massacre. From 2008 up to…

What exactly is the point you think you’re making here?

You forgot your discussion of religion in the original post I responded to. Palestinians deserve equal human rights, full stop. I didn’t say being Jewish was only ethnicity, I said that is why Nazis targeted Jews.
