    It’s not an eye for an eye though. Israeli atrocities over the decades dwarf what has been inflicted upon them by Palestine and Hamas.

      It’s not an eye-for-an-eye because we shouldn’t consider targetting civilians an option. If you want to call militias that target civilians terrorists, be consistent regardless of what uniform they are wearing.

        This is the only take that actually matters. If Ukraine responded to Russia by bombing villages and shooting civilians, they would not have such near-worldwide support. If Israel wants to truly be better than “savages” then they need to act like it.

        Probably should not consider the actions of a British appointed Mufti in a League of Nations mandated Palestine in the interest of not being disingenuous.

          What’s disingenuous about a man who the Palestinians/Arabs agreed to follow who was in favor of genociding Jews? You think they actually gave a fuck about who the British said was a leader or not? They obviously didn’t care about the mandate for an independent and free Israel. Fucking hypocritical, being disingenuous yourself.

              It is so sad when people run out of arguments and devolve into kindergarten insults.

                It’s so sad when fellow shit for brains white knight for each other over an argument implying that a unilaterally appointed leader by a colonial power represents popular wills and attitudes of the colonised. Especially sad when a fellow shit for brains whitewashes Holocaust by implying that I should waste my time repudiating an argument saying that an anti-semetic Mandatory Palestinian leader had a meaningful enough hand in the Holocaust. Heartbreaking when they want me to rim their fellow shit for brains’ assholes despite blatant Islamophobia.

        Would be better to discuss this in terms grounded in reality rather than papering over idioms with clever gotchas.
