what could not be distinguished between them was the playground line of blaming the other for their own behaviour.

That both sides are blaming the other is not evidence that both sides are to blame. “Every accusation is a confession”, remember? Palestinian claims are just DARVO.

1. Money is a form of control, if you control a countries economy you effectively control the country.

Spending money someplace doesn’t “control the economy”, stupid.

1. Hamas received direct Israeli funding

No, it did not.

1. My point is that war economics inherently benefits the American Empire

Proxy war with Israel directly benefits the Iranian empire.

Israel exists as an outpost for American troops to exhert power in the region.

There are fewer US troops stationed in Israel than stationed in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The idea that Israel wants peace is absurd, the people maybe but its clear that the colonial ambitions of the Israeli government

There’s no such thing. Israel is not a colony - Palestine is a colony and Arabs are colonizers.

Israel doesn’t target civilians.

Hezbollah has announced the deaths of 12 fighters since Tuesday afternoon

The Hamas media? Yes, though eventually it became ridiculous for them to assert that Hamas had raped and murdered German tourists at Nova because Israel had “made” them.

Arabs attack Israel because they hate the “Yahud.”

Before Hezbollah Israeli money was constantly being pumped into Lebanon.

You said “hold”, like they were in control of the place.

Now you’re just saying they invested there.

Also once again you’re missing my point, both Hamas and Hezbollah were created to be enemies.

But your point is wrong - they were created to be allies. Allies of Iran, which is who created them. That’s why Hezbollah promotes Shia Islam in Lebanon.

Im addition you’re still ignorent to the economics of war and foreign interests.

Waving terms like “war economics” and “foreign interests” without meaning anything by them doesn’t help your argument; Iran faces the same incentives for war against Israel that anyone else would.

It matters not what Israel wants when its nothing but an extension of the American Empire.

If Israel is nothing but an American vassal state, the vanguard of our imperial ambitions in the Middle East (lol, who cares about that shithole desert) then why have we placed Israel under arms embargo literally every time they’ve been attacked by Arabs?

Their father has a choice. He should act in a way that’s in his children’s best interests but if he thinks attacking Israel is more important, then the consequences will be his to live with.

I agree with you it would be better if he were simply killed, though; that’s certainly the position Israel takes on the matter.

Sometimes you bomb them so you don’t have to, or to block a means of egress. Either way it’s a legitimate military objective that justifies civilian casualties.

People could just leave the area, though. It’s not like Israel doesn’t tell them about the strike.

I’m asking you if you know of an alternate location from which Hamas plots attacks on Israel. Yes or no?

1.3 civilians per militant also meets the definition of proportionate; during the US action in Fallujah it was 7:1 and the ICJ had no issue with that at all.

Urban combat is destructive for the people who live there; they should simply have not started a war on Oct 7th.

It literally is

Do you think they moved? Where do you think they moved it to?

I’m not justifying the murder of anyone. I’m informing you as to with whom the moral responsibility lies: Hezbollah and its inhuman terrorist sons of bitches. It shouldn’t be a “bannable offense” to have moral clarity, but this is no place for free discussion, after all. It’s an echo chamber of hating Jews.

These are low-quality studies that ignore confounders and don’t include people who resolve their dysphoria by other means, including by no longer experiencing it.

1000 militants per civilian meets every definition of proportionate

Yes, it’s pretty shocking how people have come out in support of an Iranian-funded terrorist group that has killed women, children, and a hundred Americans

Unfortunately choices have consequences

When asked for a source, you’re asked to link to a specific statement or report.

Sounds like a real pain in the ass, and a bad-faith way to move a great deal of burden to someone you’d like to shut up. I told you what the source was; why don’t you do your own fucking homework?

No one is saying that it will be deadly, always. What depriving a trans person from gender affirming care does is make them miserable, drive them towards unhealthy coping mechanism and raises suicidality.

But the care results in no reduction in suicidality.

They’ve targeted civilians, including 40 people at a US Embassy.
