    And you can point to decades of Israeli provocations, attacks, and invasions.

    The rocket attacks were justified by pointing to the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon in 1978.

    If Israel can’t take a few rocket attacks, then they shouldnt have lit the invasion fuse.

    But to be clear, I dont believe any of this is a valid justification. The logic of both sides is the logic of terrorist sympathizers justifying their war crimes.

    Please stop sympathizing for Israeli terror.

      The rocket attacks on Israel today are a couple of decades too late to use this justification.

      The reason for the Israeli invasion into Lebanon was a series of attacks by organized militants on Israel from Lebanese territory.

      You’re lecturing like it’s a Ted Talk and this is your one chance for glory, but this is a shitposting community. Shitposting means dark-gray-ish humor from and for people who already know the historical context of the memes and cartoons. This is not a freshman survey on the history of the 20th century Middle East, you’re just mentally masturbating.

        Yeah I agree I am masturbating here. It’s fun, I’m enjoying myself. Maybe you just dont understand my particular flavor of shitposting.

        But I think the big lie here is that shitposting is apolitical. NCD can come off as brutal and callous, but there is an underlying thread of morality. I think this post, and others like it, failed to hold that thread. I also think NCD is the type of community that, if it loses this thread, would devolve into an echo chamber posting nazi memes and loli porn.

        When I posted my original “you people disgust me” comment, I was expecting to be heavily downvoted. To my surprise, it is significantly upvoted. What does that tell you about this community and how it is perceivied?

        Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

      So we’re agreed that, as far as reciprocity goes, it sucks to suck and both the state of Israel and Hezbollah aren’t particularly sympathetic victims?

      Great! Let them fight.
