People are so gullible. They’ll believe anything even without a shred of evidence, much less a plausible case.

So when Hamas operatives or imitators shoot up or bomb a white Christian church in middle America, I assume you will say we brought it on ourselves?

Yes. Both sides are evil schizos hell bent on dragging down the entire world in a holy war. Anyone who is NOT calling for a ceasefire should not pretend to be Christian.

The Israelis actively repress the Christian population in the region. They treat anyone who’s not them poorly.

Hamas soldiers paraglided into a concert and killed thousands of Israeli civilians.


That specific episode, and the high casualty rate, was probably friendly fire. The Apache pilots reported trouble identifying friend or foe.

The Israelis have said they are not going to investigate the friendly fire incidents that occurred on 10/7 because of the high number of incidents, and the large number of people killed, but also for moral reasons. It would be wrong to judge people trying to do the right thing in the moment.

The Israelis got bogged down and the Palestinians cut them off for a while. The Israelis ended up doing an airdrop to resupply their ground forces there.

An Israeli relief column was sent in, and they are no longer cut off

Yes, he Mearsheimer is correct, as usual. It’s amazing how willfully ignorant most seem to be on this topic. The fact is, there are no innocent parties in this conflict.

As a sovereign nation that suffered a heinous attack they can do whatever the hell they want. There should be no ”rules” in war except to win.

I’m sure they treat them exactly the same as Hamas would in America. Morally equivalent.

There are rare cases where genocide is morally justified.

This is one.

Not only has Israel greatly limited the supply of fuel into Gaza, which hospitals need to function, but it has targeted hospitals, ambulances, and first aid stations.


What’s happening is terrible all around. But they need to learn to live on net zero. Got to save the planet and all.
