You see, you have made a lot of claims there that are completely irrelevant to the discussion, because your disingenuous rhetorical position doesn’t allow you to actually address the real issues. I guess I will now claim that you also deny that there’s a genocide ongoing, because you’ve said nothing of the sort and apparently making wild claims without any basis in fact is part of legitimate dialogue in your mind? Please get real.

Wow, if that’s an attempt at a coherent thought, you’ve got a long way to go.

Again, I haven’t avoided your question. Your question was asked as part of a bad faith rhetorical strategy to reframe the issue. The plain fact of the matter is, you have two groups killing each other while claiming that their killing is justified as preventative. If that’s true, then any preventative killing is justifiable, because it just becomes a matter of perspective, and your entire argument against the Israelis could just be reversed to justify for them.

You’re referring to the 1300 year colonialist occupation, presumably?

I don’t answer your questions because you’re disingenuous in asking them. Palestinians kill Israelis, giving them a justification for killing the Palestinians, which they do, giving the Palestinians a justification for killing Israelis. Either killing others because they are killing you is justified, or it’s not. But if you’re going to argue that it’s justified, then it’s justified for everyone. When you pick and choose which killers’ justifications you want to defend, you’re disguising a distinction that’s not really rooted in the act of killing, but in some other criterion (racism, maybe?).

If a Palestinian is going to kill an Israeli child, and the only way to stop them is through military actions, would the Israelis be justified for killing them? You’re disingenuous to say that this isn’t rhetorical when you’re invoking the exact same rhetoric as justification for killing Israelis as the Israelis invoke as justification for killing Palestinians. If you have no sense that killing is absolutely wrong, then every act of killing is justifiable given a sympathetic perspective, which I simply don’t agree with. But if your morality lets you think that killing is justified, then that’s something you’ll just have to live with.

Sounds like the same kind of justification that all killers use to convince themselves that their actions aren’t fundamentally morally corrupt. Maybe you have more in common with the Israelis than you’d like to admit

That’s a lot of words to avoid acknowledging your own moral corruption for openly calling for people to be killed. Go troll someone else, you hateful, violent prick.

A humorless, meaningless retort from a hateful, violent person
- Comment on [Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV 3 hours ago:
I feel like wishing people to die at all is a pretty immoral stance, but you obviously have your own version of morality where killing people is justifiable, so you do you I guess.

I never understood the appeal of taking a screenshot rather than just saving the image or text or whatever directly.

- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 6 days ago:
A system in which power is held by a single individual is by definition not socialist.
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 6 days ago:
If one set of ideological principles conforms to another, why is it relevant if one of them hasn’t been given a specific name yet? Are the principles not still comparable?

Submission to a single all-powerful ruler seems like textbook authoritarianism

- Comment on What if the idea of “life” and “intelligent life” is all relative? 1 week ago:
Intelligence is an abstract concept invented by humans to help them categorize the world. Since we’re the ones who made it up, we get to decide what it means.
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 1 week ago:
Wars in foreign countries are incredibly profitable for the elite. America is effectively just a tool for transferring money and power from hoi polloi to hoi oligoi; it’s not interested in improving conditions for those who can’t generate wealth

- Comment on What is your age range for dating? 🤔 😮 1 week ago:
It depends entirely on the person. Some people are intelligent, self possessed adults by the time they’re 20, other people are immature shitbags well into their old age. Age is a poor metric for evaluating compatibility.

There’s nothing about surgery that’s addictive. You’re addicted to the validation you feel, which is a sign of deeper unresolved issues relating to self-worth. Surgery can never resolve those underlying issues, but surgeons will keep taking money to tweak just a little more. You’re never going to solve a psychological problem with surgery alone; you need to explore the roots of your feelings of inadequacy, identify why you crave this kind of validation, and develop strategies to manage those feelings in less extreme ways.

Why silence instead of literature? Why silence instead of philosophy? Why silence instead of learning new languages? While silence instead of learning and instrument?
No one is going to force you to enjoy your life; you have to take some responsibility for creating your own meaning.

If you have the same sex as your partner, then it’s a same sex relationship. If you have the same gender as your partner, it’s a same gender relationship. Possibly it’s both or neither.
