      People like you are unsung heroes in the never ending, always attacked, struggle against ignorance and in this case, a bizarre blend of stupidity and evil to come up with lines like this.

      “Gaza is in ruins? Well did you know the palestinian children ruined their own buildings to make rocks to throw at innocent israeli pregnant mothers!”

      I cannot fathom how you can look at a slaughter currently taking place and side with the slaughterers and it’s incredibly depressing. The only glimmer of hope is that there are people willing to do the work of compiling sources and pushing back on the brain-dead monsters who want to see suffering.

        man the rhetoric on these israel palestine conflict posting only gets more and more extreme.

        Sometimes i worry about the palatability of content on the internet.

        Once you stand on the side of the occupying regime commiting unspeakable acts of horror, your only option is to condemn the oppressed for their suffering. It’s the only way to square the circle. It’s the only way to maintain the illusion that you’re supporting The Good Guys.

          I rejected these actions when my country did it. I reject it when other countries do it.

          It’s not hard to oppose killing. I’m not even a pacifist nor do I believe all wars are inherently unjustified, but I can clearly see when a state just wants to kill people for the sake of exerting dominance and control. It’s not hard to see, and it’s not hard to oppose.

          The opposition doesn’t have the greatest impact per individual, but it also doesn’t do any harm to you or your life. It won’t be held against you by anyone, you won’t have to change all your ideals about anything. Just oppose killing, oppose death being inflicted punitively against populations. Do no harm, right? It’s NOT a complicated issue in reality. The people who keep crying “it’s complicated!” are just trying to justify what they want, and what they want is death.

          I am getting really tired of seeing so many people celebrating the deaths of innocent people.
