@madmonk28 is a disingenuous piece of shit.

He’s decided that I don’t think Palestinians are humans, and in his determination to prove this, has resorted to leading and baiting questions; when that didn’t work, he decided to just straight up quote me out of context in order to make it seem like I said the opposite of what I had actually said.

Here’s his complete bullshit of a post:

Of course, if he read one additional line down, he’d have seen that I said:

> **If that’s what a military campaign required for success, then I would consider those goals impossible to accomplish.** But again, that’s pretty cartoonishly ridiculous.

So the answer to his question, in case his single withered brain cell struggles to process it, is **"no; if I was convinced that exterminating all of the Palestinian children was militarily necessary, I would consider the military goals in question impossible to accomplish.** Like any other normal person, because I’m not a genocidal maniac, you piece of lying trash."

Fuck you and your lies, asshole.
