Depressingly, there is some truth to that - when I was 15, my “boyfriend” was 22. It wasn’t exactly encouraged, but people didn’t freak out much, either. This was in 1990, and I remember it was even weirder when I was a younger kid. I’m glad culture is shifting, though, because it was definitely incredibly unhealthy…

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,”…

Indeed. No idea what a celebrity is to do these days when followers demand that you pick a side and then take issue with whichever side you’ve chosen, even if it’s simple the side of “don’t kill innocent civilians and children”.

Fuck you, you hateful, racist piece of garbage.

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…

For Bibi, this is just the most recent excuse he needed to “clear out hamas*”

Sigh ...

The people who ordered the attacks are comfortably in Qatar though. They're not the ones getting shelled.

Nobody is defending Hamas. But it’s barbarians like you who have to pretend that Palestinian children are Hamas, in order to gaslight everybody into excusing Israeli getting away with more ethnic cleansing.

Exactly. Im sick of watching people having to spend five minutes of emphasizing how bad Oct 7th was for the 500th time, in order to make a 15 second mild criticism of Israel.

If being unable to suffer further harm because of a law meant you could never seek redress under that law, no person killed - or their estate - or their surviving relatives could ever seek redress.

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.

How many murdered brown babies in answer will slake your bloodlust?

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…

none of that happened, unless you just gargle IDF propaganda

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…

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…

This is a cool way to dismiss human suffering. Do you feel better?

I didn’t think the terrible thing’s Hamas did would immediately be overshadowed by the terrible things Israel is doing to “defend” itself from Hamas.

The worse part is jackoffs everywhere are championing either side like it is a fucking football rivalry, and nobody can have an adult discussion about this without…

And globally, absolutely 0 f###s are given. If someone shows a scintilla of sympathy for the Palestinians, they get labeled ANTISEMITIC! Hamas are supposed to be the bad guys. Carpet bombing apartment blocks full of innocent people used to be considered a war crime. I guess this gets overlooked because there MIGHT be…
