You’re not allowed a gun until you have an abortion! Debate!

Resolved: abortions are only moral if they are performed with claws taken from declawed cats.

Same with circumcisions.

I’ve got it!! You can only perform abortions with guns, and every time you perform an abortion, there is a 10 day waiting period for the gun. This is it!!! Killed two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Israel and Palestine are in a state of war. A long, tragic and futile war. Israel happens to be winning in body count but neither side in this conflict holds the moral high ground and hasn’t for many years now. The Palestinians are guilty of never missing an opportunity to miss the opportunity for peace. The Israelis are guilty of no longer being the “good guys”, but the “not as bad as the other guy guys”. The pox on both their houses. Perhaps the punishment they so richly deserve is to live in this purgatory they’ve created for one another.

Having said that, no genocide has been or is being committed by Israel. Not to date. Hopefully at no time in the future. So what the fuck,\*\* The Second Stone\*\*? Hyperbolic much?

So a second stone would be redundant, perhaps even useless?

I wish I were being hyperbolic. Not as bad as the Nazi death camps, which isn’t and hasn’t been going on (no thanks to imbeciles calling for that), similar enough to the ghettos that the comparison is apt. Exactly as bad as the ghettos, no, but close enough that making a fine distinction would for me morally border on denial. Is the shithole that is Gaza well over the line of decency and well into genocide in my view of the facts and definition: hell yes. I wouldn’t want mine living that way. I wouldn’t want my enemies living that way.

Good luck with that. To understand the effects of global warming we’d need some sort of effects mastermind.

Know what is worse than a thousand genocides? Hyperbole.

If Israel is guilty of attempted genocide, then so are pretty much all of its neighbors, the US, the UK, most of Europe, and most other countries in the entire world at some point in the last half-century. Most countries have killed as many or more people, and destroyed as much or more property, as Israel has in Palestine/Gaza.

Which is why this is such ridiculous hyperbole. If this is attempted genocide, then there have been _dozens, if not hundreds_ of attempted genocides in the last 50 years.

The Israelis killed the only known Palestinian named Jenny, and so are guilty of Jennycide.

Don’t make light of this, you insensitive prick. At least 8,675,309 people have been affected since 1981.

Does “that thread” mean “Man returns Holocaust medal…”? Did you get two warnings in that thread? Because dang. I know you got one warning, and it was for calling someone–specifically, me–cowardly, because I was afraid watching your Youtubes would BLOW MY MIND with some FACTS:

If that’s not the warning you’re referring to, my bad. However, given how fast and loose you’ve played with facts up to this point, both personal facts (lying about what other posters say or don’t say) and political facts (lying about the content of your cites), I think I can be forgiven for suspecting you’re wrong in this case as well.
