Fuck all you warmongering pieces of shit

Not surprised that he ignored your good question about the Israeli soldiers rape.

We were all looking forward to a premium quality whatabout :smiley:

Exactly the same way you feel about the dozens of Palestinians (from Hamas and from other militant groups) who raped Israelis on October 7th and while they kept Israelis as hostages, I wager.

How do you think I feel about them? They should be in jail, but it doesn’t change my overall analysis of who I support on the conflict.

I’m genuinely surprised at that response to be honest; when we’ve previously cited Israeli war crimes, both against detainees and in any of the several war fronts right now, it’s been any handwave possible. So I’ll give you credit for that.

In answer to your questions of course I condemn all rapes and human rights abuses. It’s the reason why I have become so anti-israel over the years, and particularly in the context of recent events.

And there it is!

As I say, he avoided a complete whatabout. Whether it was my baiting or not, it’s nice to see some (tepid) acknowledgement of war crimes.

I’ve certainly never claimed that there have been no war crimes in this or any other war. It would be beyond stupid to claim that, because every war in history has involved some war crimes.

Yet, you’re not “Anti-Palestine” despite the host of rapes and human rights abuse committed by that side of the conflict… Curious. If war crime and human rights abuse make you anti-whoever commits them, surely you’d be both anti-Israel and anti-Palestine.

Are you unaware of those atrocities, or do you just not assign any agency to the Palestinian side?

Ah there’s the full whatabout :joy:

My mistake for trying to engage in good faith in Andy’s goon cave. I’ll let you all get back to your regularly scheduled self righteous masturbation.

I suspect that your reference to “the Palestinian side”, itself, reflects a misconception. There are, in fact, two sides there. One side has most of the people of Palestine on it, and also most of the people of Israel. This is the side that wants peace. The other side has Hamas and Netanyahu on it. This is the side that wants atrocities. I’m on the Palestinian and Israeli side. If you are on Netanyahu’s side, then you’re also on Hamas’s side, because those are the same side.

I suppose, though, that if one absolutely must compare the Palestinians and Israelis, the Israelis bear a larger share of blame, since they’ve had the opportunity to vote Netanyahu out, and did not do so, while the Palestinians have not had the opportunity to vote Hamas out.

From my perspective, I think it’s very hard for the average Palestinian to get rid of the murderous thugs who are running things (Hamas or whoever takes their place). They are in control at the point of a gun.

However, I think that in the case of Israel, the people have elected the murderous thugs who are running things.

Yes, there are murderous thugs on both sides. I weep for everyone who is at their mercy, but wish that more Israeli citizens would get rid of theirs via the ballot box, as it would be less violent.

Exactly. Hamas and Netanyahu and Trump and the IRGC are functionally all allies. They all think they benefit from the war. Most civilians and reasonable/decent humans are on the side of peace, against that pro-endless-war bloc.

Yes, you’re on Neville Chamberlain’s side, along with the majority of English and German people, on the side of peace, while warmongers like Hitler and Churchill (The Chief Villain of World War II) are on the side of war.

I’m not Mijin, but I’m anti-Hamas, and also anti-Israeli government right now. And i also think that people who seek peace need to negotiate with both Hamas and the Israeli government, because those are the people who have the ability to make peace. Killing all the identifiable members of Hamas (which seems to include doctors, journalists, and garbage men who are employed by Hamas) is about as useful and morally justifiable as killing everyone now or previously in the Israeli government, which includes every Israeli who served in the armed forces, as well as garbage men paid by the state.

Which is to say, what a massive evil it is to kill all those people.

You might be misremembering history. Chamberlain was the one who was fine with Germany making war.

He was the one who was fine with Germany doing anything they wanted as long as England didn’t have to get directly involved in the fighting, because he thought the most important thing was to not have war. “Peace in our time” and all that.

Sort of like the people who oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza or Lebanon are fine with whatever Hezbollah or Hamas do, as long as Israel isn’t going to war.

Israel fighting Hamas and Hezbollah would be fine with me. That’s mostly not what they’re doing. This IDF is lead by evil people, allowing evil conduct (like the aforementioned rape - if they can’t prosecute that, they can prosecute anything - in addition to the starvation, mass murder, and other atrocities), and such an organization cannot wage war in anything close to a moral manner.

Just like this American military is incapable of accomplishing anything good under Trump and Hegseth.

Notice that Babs now still supports and defends the IDF - an organization that he admits openly protects rapists from consequences.

Rape is a standard part of genocide, so of course he supports rape.

I endorse this message. And you were much clearer than I managed to be because of course by “anti-israel” I meant the government, IDF and anyone that endorses their genocides. But of course not the country in general.
