All the values you listed are only a facade for elections in America. Progressives certainly don't actually give a shite about anything, especially anything that helps any of the myriad groups they hate, which is basically every group but themselves.

I think Oct 7 was barbaric. But, I also think Israel is ethnically cleansing 2 million people. This was from February. I'm sure it's way worse after Rafah has been pounded. Where is everybody supposed to go? If you think they all FAFO, that's fine. Just be honest about it.

There is more dissent in Israel and places like Haaretz than the U.S.:

It's amazing how well that Islamic extremist values align with the American left. Yall both do fricked up shite, then cry foul when you get punched in the face. Typical bullies

Geneva Convention places civilian deaths on the combatants who purposefully hide amongst civilians, not those who engage combatants who hide amongst civilians.

There's a very obvious reason for this.

Is there any other red line you think Israel has crossed?

That's a cute saying, but it's not true. Israel has been the aggressor as much as Palestine. It's been back and forth for decades. If Israel truly wanted peace, there wouldn't be videos of their soldiers shooting unarmed Palestinian boys unprovoked.

Unless you're a Christian. No evangelizing for you in Israel. Straight to jail.

Did you mean to post this is in the con column? Seems to be in the pro by mistake.

Whether financially or politically, this is why we must support Israel throughout the entirety of their response to the Oct. 7 attacks, no matter how long it takes.


Forever wars! Just give Israel all of our money and we can end hamas, just like climate change.

Israel moved into the middle of people that hate them. They can solve their own problems. They don't need our money.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why hamas was able to just walk across the border and take over military installations at one of the most highly defended borders in the world with such little resistance?

I will listen to your arguments right after you post the results of the election where the Palestinians overwhelmingly preferred Hamas. While you're at it, maybe we should discuss how many registered German voter actively supported the extermination of the Jews during WWII. How did that work out for them??

I meant to get back to earlier. Here are my thoughts:

Israelis are forced to fight Hamas in what has become asymmetrical warfare. Since Hamas cannot match a better armed, more efficient fighting force in a conventional military engagement, they are instead driving the Israelis into a form of fighting which makes Israel look bad. Hamas has taken up military positions in hospitals and schools so that when the Israelis go on the offensive, they are bound to slaughter the innocent and vulnerable.

The United States engaged in a similar kind of combat against the Vietcong during the Vietnam War, and many anticolonial struggles have been waged in this way. Guerillas, thus, have always been able to harness world opinion even when they couldn’t win on the battlefield.

False.

It is completely legal for Christians to evangelize in Israel.

“The 1977 Israeli Penal Code prohibits the proselytization of minors without the consent of their parents, as well as religious conversion in exchange for material benefit.”

Yes, Israel accepts the open practice of all religions. There is an also a large population of agnostic Jewish.
