If Ukraine is invaded by Russia, Ukrainians have the right to fight back
When my country was invaded by Germany (TWICE), we have the right to fight back.
When Armenia is invaded by Azerbaijan, Armenia has the right to fight back
The same applies to Palestine.
The country is occupied as of today.
This is self defence.

You just don't get it do you? Or at least, that's the charitable explanation.
Killing civilians is a bad thing. Why can't you condemn that?

Is it because the people being killed are Jewish?

The most important distinction one has to make.

Israeli is not the same as Jewish. You have to make that distinction. Many jewish people live outside Israel, sometimes even condemning Israel the same way I do. And a quarter of Israelis population is in fact Arab or another religion.

But I suppose you like the users who generalize and say all republicans are nazis as well.
"I don't support the mass murder of Jews, just of Israelis" isn't a distinction that makes you look better

Austria is changing Ukraine flags to Israel.   I guess there can only be one "the current thing" at a time.


The optics of a German country standing with Hamas in this conflict being as awful as they are makes it very unsurprising that Austria would have done this.

I never said i support mass murder of Israelis.


You came into a thread about mass pogroms against Israelis to comment 'resistance is justified'

Is anyone else surprised that Israel has an alliance with the United States?

Israel has far more in common with Russia than the US.

Sigh, there is not really much to say that has not already been said in past episodes. I will get some hate from both sides for this, but I guess I will add that Palestinians are screwed no matter what at this point, none of the great powers care about settlement construction or will ever meaningfully pressure Israel into stopping the demolition of Palestinian homes, and the neighboring coutries only "care" so much as they can be used for propaganda purposes. In my opinion the wise course of action would have been for Gaza to extricate itself from the Palestinian cause and either get annexed by Egypt or exist as an independent state. It seems that Hamas upon recognizing this reality has instead decided to go out in a gruesome "blaze of glory"

I don't hate you for saying that. It's the (sad) reality.

I stand in unapologetic solidarity with the State of Israel. This was a ruthless and stunning attack on innocent people by a rabid terrorist organization.

I know that Israel will respond appropriately and make Hamas regret existing for this ghoulish assault of innocent lives.

Praying for my family and friends in Israel and also for anyone else who is in Israel/has family or friends in Israel.

We still don't have information that Israelis have regained full control over settlements where Hamas and factions entered. I'm very surprised about weakness of Israeli army shown today.

So my post calling this out as reductionist was deleted, but Conservatopia gets to accuse others of literally wanting to kill people cause they're Jewish?

Bullsh**t.

Yes, innocent Israelis and Palestinians because of theological dogma. Many of these people don't give a crap about civilian lives or peace for the people living in that region. They just see Israel as a proxy chance to go beat-up some brown people and/or make their evangelical bible fantasies come true.

Say take your fake indignation somewhere else.

Fog of war is in place and it will take time for things to settle.
I do agree a bit, tentatively, that the Israeli military might well be overrated in its capabilities. But we shall see.

There can never be a justification for murdering civilians. Never. Let’s pray this is resolved swiftly and Hamas ceases to function permanently.

DavidB. liking this posts makes me lmao, but other than that you're right. And that's usually why this is a topic I don't engage often on until I saw him making death threats in different languages.

You are a hypocrite dude (DavidB). Other than that, I hope this conflict comes to an end soon /w as few casualties as possible. I feel like that's the minimum most rational people can agree on these days (hopefully).

It's not the fact that he posted in dutch, it's what he posted in dutch that matters.

Uh? Yes. Anything against the rules in English should be against the rules in any language outside of drastic differences in interpretation of meaning. What sort of question is this?

No. But wishing someone death in another might be.
Of course, the post involved was deleted already.
