Do you normally decide who is right purely by who got the most upvotes?

If that’s the case, then you think Trump is right… right? 🤔

You're a libertarian batting for the apartheid colonial state of Israel? Do your values abandon you as soon as it doesn't affect you? Or is it a racism thing?

I have no stance whatsoever on Israel.

I’m intelligent enough to know that it’s so complicated that neither of us is likely to have a fully informed opinion.

What I’m highlighting here is merely that the implication of the post is a logical fallacy.

claydawg.bsky.social•94 days ago

It's not that complicated, one side is committing a genocide, the other is having a genocide inflicted on them.

You can only believe it’s this simple if you either willfully ignore some information, or you are dense. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt by assuming the former rather than the latter.

E.g., let’s not forget the elephant in the room:

Hamas’ slaughter of approximately 1200 civilians.

claydawg.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yeah 1200 looks pretty small next to the 40000 Palestinians murdered by isreal, the 80% of housing destroyed by Israeli bombs along with every single hospital in Gaza, while Israel also literally shoots fleeing children in the head. Sometimes actions have consequences.

And let’s not forget the reality on the ground:

That Hamas hide from retribution by intermingling with the general population.

What is Israel supposed to do? Die off 1200 people at a time, as a result of terrorist attacks they can’t respond to?

With regard to Jews and Muslims, I see two groups of people whose hatred for one another is formally-encoded into their deeply-held religious beliefs.

I see horrific killing on both sides, and it seems like the sad inevitable outcome of permanent belief systems.

iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social•94 days ago

But what I see most recently is that Hamas brought this upon their fellow people when they killed 1200 people in a terrorist attack.

Retaliation to something like that was inevitable and justified.

And when Hamas chose to hide from retaliation amongst women/children, what could you expect?

iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social•94 days ago

Had Hamas not gone out of their way to kill 1200 innocent people, none of the tragedies in Gaza that you see in one-sided leftist media would be happening in the first place.

Isn’t this clear to everyone who considers the situation rationally?

iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social•94 days ago

You can go back in time indefinitely in tit-for-tat though and say “oh, well that attack was a justified response of Israeli oppression”, and then the Israelis say “that oppression was an inevitable response to attacks on us”, and so on and so forth.

What i see is dumb fucks like you who ignore the reality of the situation. Who turn a blind eye to the murder rape and killings of Palestinians over countless years just because Europeans wanted to excise their genocide guilt. Fuck off.

iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social•94 days ago

Who turns a blind eye to 1200 innocents killed by surprise out of nowhere?

shogun-khan.bsky.social•94 days ago

This is the worst load of bullshit I've heard since joining this forum. Islam is the only religion that has the protection of the Jews encoded within it. Unlike European origin cultures that believe in othering and genocide. Don't talk about Islam so frivolously.

iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social•94 days ago

This is not a forum.

iforgotwhyimhere.bsky.social•94 days ago

Online forums are topical. Twitter clones are not.
