If the rest of the world doesn't want Israel to do that then it has to step up instead of shrieking and blocking the temporary relocation of civilians at the beginning of the war like it did, and it can't continue disallowing voluntary emmigration by Gazans who want to leave, and it can't continue keeping them in refugee limbo in permanent camps across the Middle East while other countries treat them like shit.

What you've said in your last two posts goes an incredibly long way in the right direction And it isn't the caring about Palestinians that pushes buttons. It's the complete erasure of agency from the Gazan government, Hamas, and from those among the civilians collaborating with them that pushes buttons. What I'm asking is that you not put it all at Israel's feet simply because you don't like Netanyahu and you don't like war, because it's not like Hamas and their collaborators didn't wipe out whole families and communities and set this latest round off. I don't support Trump either. But Gazan civilians are going to have to be temporarily relocated in order for the place to be rebuilt, and Hamas has to be removed from power.

Yay provisional cable ties!

Yay! A new puppy! I expect frequent dog content.

And those are just the immediate issues. You've just spent the last 17 months getting higher and higher on your own moral supply, and you don't give a damn which people with skin in the game you torment on the way. And I've finally had enough. And it's people like you who are fuelling the rampant antisemitism in this country that people like me then have to deal with. And I have to be honest, I didn't think anyone would top the antisemitism from some Trump supports in north Georgia during 2015-2017, but then the left went "hold our latte" after October 7 and it's been ten times worse.

I get not liking the collateral damage. War sucks for everybody involved. But it's not like you've ever presented any alternative for what you think Israel should do when it's fighting a terrorist pseudostate which literally built Gaza to be the kind of battlefield that it is, with a sophisticated tunnel system where it's fighters hide when they're not using civilians as sheids and commandeering their infrastructure and stealing their food. +

The Gazans who chose to keep captives in their homes are terrorists. The Gazans who chose to participate in Hamas's spectacles during this ceasefire are terrorists. The Gazans who have had information on the whereabouts of captives and have chosen to not share that information are terrorists. It should go without saying that anyone who participated in October 7 itself is a terrorist. And I haven't even gotten started on the explosion of antisemitism in this country. You could have unequivocally condemned any of this at any point during the last 17 months, and demanded that Hamas lay down its arms and return all captives with no conditions, and you have not done so. Yet you continuously take cheap shots at Israel every chance you get. Sounds like love of terrorists to me.

Pretty sure the people thriving on inhumane conduct are the ones parading coffins with babies in them to cheerful music and a cheering crowd and not the people trying to ensure their citizens aren't abducted again by the terrorists you love so much.

Interesting.

Yeah, but most of the time I turn them all off.

Yeah but it would also be hilarious. Then again, nobody younger than 35 would get the reference.
