Worth a read, @TomC. Particularly:
“Netanyahu’s extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – seventy percent of whom are women and children.
And to protest that or to point that out is not antisemitic. It is simply factual.
It is not antisemitic to point...
I’m reminded of the fact that the USA killed at least 10x as many Japanese civilians in one day than the total American civilians killed by the Japanese military in the whole war. So I’m not ruling it out as appropriate simply based on the multiplier.
Answer the fucking question Tom.
And while you’re at it, is killiing 10x as many civilians an appropriate response?
Y/N
I think the conversation might be difficult for you because your position is untenable.
So they say. But they were warned of an attack and did nothing but give Hamas more money. Now they’re just spilling blood in anger.
When the next bunch of Israeli civilians are butchered by Iranian proxies, we can talk again about the effectiveness of Bibi’s “defense” strategies.
It is terrible indeed.
Tourniquets, pressure dressings and hemostatic agents can often mitigate the bleeding at the entry wound, but to little effect when the pressure front has destroyed all the internals - even with an extremity wound! My only first hand observations are of people who have...
In fairness, our own domestic terrorists seem just as comfortable shooting Others whether they’re Muslims or Jews, Blacks or Latinos.
It’s just Muslims (Iranian surrogates mostly) who reserve their hatred and ammunition for Jews. So maybe Tom has a point, and we should be … uh … what? Perfectly...
Okay, point taken. This thread is about the backlash that Israel - or by proxy, the Jewish community - is suffering from their disproportionate response’s ongoing human toll. Justifiable backlash, or no?
I do not think for one second that killing ten for every one you kill is anything but a...
Do you live under a rock?
Shit Tom, I know you remember the anti Muslim sentiment during the Iraq war, which killed over a million Muzzies according to some estimates. Western European countries have seen continuous anti Muslim demonstrations and acts of terror.
I don’t recall the USA giving...
...OTOH are a protected species because grandpa was killed by German Nazis. Only now are they starting to draw international criticism, after their* ongoing response to the overnight criminal atrocity they suffered at the hands of Hamas, has been seen as disproportionate.
10x seems sufficiently...
The ones carrying guns, kidnapping people etc are likely Hamas. Others may or may not be. I do not believe that most Gazans support Hamas’ actions.
Likewise the Israelis carrying guns, arresting and killing people are probably IDF. Others may or may not be, since military service is required in...
How about you respond to the part about war crimes perps if that’s what you really want to discuss:
Feel free to ignore the part about why I think that.
Do you disagree with any of my post #531?
.... To which the Israeli response was to announce a retaliatory strike against Hamas, then proceeded to kill ten times as many Gaza’s civilians* as if a mega 10x-tit-for-tat murder campaign was an appropriate response.
As I said above, I think “war crime” is a redundancy, and if ever there was...
Well, in terms of causing total civilian and military deaths, Israel is way ahead right now. But they better keep the numbers coming, or the Muzzies could catch up!
I guess Bibi wants Israelis to join the club.
My dad was born to a straight-up Ashkenazi Jewish family in 1896. In Alabama.
His attitude toward Jews as cultural unit was probably much like mine now. He died in 1959 so I don’t know for sure, but I heard some things, and heard some things about...
In fact, Babs, YOU'RE NEXT!! :hysterical:
That 2014 theft of Crimea is going to turn out to be VERY expensive. You should have honored the agreement PUTIN SIGNED in 1997.
Because Hillary has committed no crimes and the only person currently going after her is Cheato, while many Israelis and almost all Muslims would like to end Bibi, whose crimes, like Trump's, are legion.
He is a 100% going to prison (rich people "prison" - home arrest) if he doesn't win the...
Hmmph. I doubt it. Any such judge who presided over a conviction in such a case would probably see it overturned* on appeal.
*For being a mean old poopyhead,
Like Trump, Bibi is now making decisions based on keeping himself out of prison.
Nothing good can come of it.
"War crime" is more of a redundancy than an oxymoron IMHO.
Hamas and Israel are of a piece. Religion ...
