This show of force leads to the deradicalization of Islam. They're the colonizers, the caliphate

It's not gonna be any diplomacy lol

Got 2 parties going medieval (don't forget the other 109 extant armed conflicts), and a Mickey Mouse international court making rulings n shiit

I could go on and on and on. Almost every day in this part of the world there is some random brutal attack on civilians in the name of Allah, where there is almost never any comparable actions anywhere else in the world.

In the year 2024 no other culture in the world is this sort of stuff so normalized.

The wanton brutality of MENA Muslims as a group killing in the name of Allah is way beyond what you see from any other culture/people. And 10/7 was an especially brutal example of this type of behavior, but it wasn't any big outlier except in size and scope. Islamists are doing this sort of stuff almost every day.

There is a Twitter video circulating where in the last day Hamas shot up a bunch of Gaza civilians while stealing an aid shipment. Again, completely normal behavior. All you guys like to **** on US police for being brutal, ignoring the fact that your hero's Hamas are 100x worse; but you are all willing to overlook that because every once in a while they take a break from brutalizing their own population to shoot some Jews.

There is no moral equivalency between Islamists like Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah, ISIS, Boko Haram etc. and Israel. One is 100x worse than the other. And the most charitable thing you can say about leftists who try to make a case for moral equivalency, or worse invert everything, is that they are morally confused.

Well said, Dunyain. Everything is upside down: identifying threats, motivations, etc. Befitting of these post-truth times.

Doesn't that question work both ways? Why aren't you?

I'd add that the IDF is destroying all the schools, universities, and civic buildings. This gutting of civil society shows they don't want the Palestinians to exist as an organized people. That's genocide.

I mean given the 110 other conflicts taking place and for you to be consistent, shouldn't you be arguing that some of those groups deserve to be killed? What makes this one so special?

This. Hamas, at a minimum, needs to be demilitarized.

Doesn’t make it less stupid for Israel to do exactly what Hamas wants and do less than the bare minimum when it comes to aid.

I think they are targeting the Israeli soldiers that have been murdering civilians for the last 6 months. in other words, legitimate targets.

BOIDs didnt post a link, a common refrain from your group, so we can only guess. my guess is they are shooting at soldiers.

So Hezbollah is firing at civilian population centers in Israel, forcing them to evacuate. That is a genocide, yes?

Israel is not doing anything with the intent to destroy a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. They are trying to destroy hamas or at minimum demilitrize them and take them out of power

The rest of your definition is moot
Palestinians are a national, ethnic, racial group.

Are you saying they are trying to help the Palestinians that they killed?

Because opposite of destroy is to build/help

If Hamas was doing everything it could you would see suicide bombers everywhere.

Don’t be dumb. Hamas is playing nice

Don’t be ridiculous. It’s every other Israeli is a soldier. 50-60% of the population are former IDF soldiers.


Since I haven’t heard anyone talk about former Hamas members, I’ll agree that former is a made up idea here that isn’t being used
