Yup. Lord knows I wouldn’t want to waste any of the valuable time you’re spending responding to anyone who says anything approaching “I think the Israelis have a right to defend their border and Hamas is ultimately responsible for the violence they know will occur” with “OH SO YOU THINK IT’S OK FOR THOSE FILTHY…
“Those norms are gone, so we, as liberals, purveyors of the moral high ground, have no reason to uphold those old norms, nor remain purveyors of the moral high ground. It’s a fucking battle royale, let’s all debase ourselves now because Republicans have.”
Even more - original partition plan (1947) was actually accepted by the Jews and much of the world, while rejected by every Arab nation... that led to the war that led to the creation of Israel.
“There are options other than shooting everyone at will.
But if you can’t think that far, that’s fine.”
“Hamas are not anyone’s first choice to run a government.”
Now playing
To call this ‘murder’ is a tremendous overstatement. What do you ask Israelis to do in this situation? Thousands of protestors (and many Hamas militants), encouraged by their government to carry concealed weapons and promised a reward for being shot, marching towards civilian areas. Many carrying swastikas and…
Israel is not Judaism.
Then what is the correct response to people trying to cross the border to explicitly kill your civilians? They had already tried tear gas and various other non-lethal methods. I am looking for specifics because it seems like you think there is a better option that doesn’t end in dead people.
Getting shot while trying to cross a sovereign border, after numerous warnings of what would result, to restart the knife infatada is acceptable defense. Countries have the right to defend their borders from people with malicious intent. You realize that had they not been shot, they would have murdered every single…
If Palestinians loved their children more than they hated Jews, they wouldn’t put weapons depots under schools and hospitals. They wouldn’t send children to the front of a protest where Israel explicitly said if you try and cross the border, you will be shot.
I say this with the best of intentions...
I’m sorry they don’t play by your rules but perhaps being gassed in the millions, enslaved throughout history, and being surrounded by people who don’t think you should have the right to exist has them seeing the world from a different lens.
So you support the death threats that they received for playing a soccer game?
I believe various Palestinian military groups have a history of hiding their weapons and soldiers among civilians including children. That’s cool though.
Pretty gross move by the Israelis to try and make Messi their propaganda piece.
Sigh. That’s one helluvan ax Patrick’s grinding, there. If he’s gonna to try and mislead us, he can at least be less transparent about it. Seems he forgot that 50 of the 60 people Israel “murdered” were admitted Hamas terrorists looking to infiltrate Israel. And they weren’t heading over to swap hummus recipes.
Also, as per ESPN, it had absolutely nothing to do with the “courage” you’re talking about:
Jerusalem is considered the capital of Palestine
