@Thebratdragon @aral If he did want all Palestinians dead, he would never have allowed 500,000 of them to cross into Israel to work. If he wanted them all dead, they have the weapons to do that with greater haste and effect. He’s still a pos for doing what he’s doing, btw.

@aral Good luck getting the leader of Hamas to the table. He wants all Jews dead. Can’t negotiate with people like that.

@geekysteven I see your quokka and raise you one tree kangaroo.

@HeavenlyPossum Sorry, someone else posted a link to your posts that referred to sophistry. That’s the link to which I’m referring.

@HeavenlyPossum You’re original response to my post was a link in which you called the “all sides” argument sophistry. Maybe you need to re-read what you wrote in that link.

@HeavenlyPossum Yes, to target Hamas adversaries. Hamas hides amongst civilians they claim to care about. That’s my point. If Israel really was intentionally targeting kids or wanted to completely eliminate all Palestinians they have the capability to do that. But they obviously are NOT doing that.

@HeavenlyPossum You accused me of engaging in sophistry because I brought up all the violent conflicts. I wasn’t both sides-ing this issue. I start at recognizing one’s humanity before one’s chosen superficial aspect of identity. That I point out critics of Israel conveniently ignore atrocities done to them doesn’t mean I support all Israeli actions. We wouldn’t need self-defense in the world if there weren’t offensive people to begin with.

@HeavenlyPossum Those comments were in response to others criticizing Israel for waging genocide while ignoring Hamas’ genocide. Those comments were in response to others claiming Israel was specifically targeting children when clearly they have not done so. It wasn’t a justification or defense of Israel as I’ve said many times before. If you only hear what you want to hear, then your brain is in danger of becoming an echo chamber.
