Do I have to have good solutions for climate change and homelessness and drug addiction and wealth inequality and world hunger in order to comment on those, too?

No, but you should either have a more realistic stance than "if one single bad thing happens as a result of it then I don't think we should do it." or stop providing your opinion on the topic.

Nah, I have a problem with both sides.

The most important thing is that you can attack everybody and feel superior to them all.

Why are we fighting over which turd is bigger when we need to clean it all up?

I'm not fighting for either side, I'm just disagreeing with the assertion that the concert goers who were murdered by Hamas were "sacrificed by Israel".

That's great. What do you think the Israelis should do?

[–] xzite@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Your performative outrage is pretty funny.

In another comment from you I'm a Hamas supporter.

Lol are you fucking stupid? Necessary to murder civilians? You hamas supporting psychopath.

Funnily enough, all of this is in response to someone saying that the Israeli government sacrificed someone's family after they were murdered, which you apparently don't have any problem with.

So how do you deal with opponents deliberately putting their military infrastructure next to civilian targets?

I feel like you either don't understand what I wrote or deliberately misunderstood it.

Feel free to ask if you need help understanding what I wrote.

Those are the only two options I guess, indiscriminately murder civilians and blow up hospitals or suicide.

Feel free to share your operational plan for how the Israelis should proceed, I'm sure it will be very realistic and grounded in military reality.

I’m saying people who commit war crimes should go to the place where the world has decided to try war criminals and then they should punish them like we have punished war criminals in the past.

So you're obviously also saying that Hamas should be hung from the neck until dead.

Attacking a hospital containing active enemy combatants is not a war crime. Garrisoning troops in a hospital is a war crime. Not making necessary precautions to move civilians away from the combat area is also a war crime.

Deliberately harming civilians is a war crime. Harming civilians by accident or as a byproduct of necessary military action is not a war crime.

Still, i can’t argue that most people consider this kind of revenge to be also a component of self defense.

Why did the bell ring immediately after Hamas started losing? You don't get to perform an offensive, have less success than expected and then simply call off the war.

However, speaking of genocide, Hamas (hell, all of Palestine) is not in a position to seriously threaten the Israeli people as a whole nor the Israeli Jews specifically.

The Arab states have been trying to do this literally since the creation of Israel. The only reason it hasn't occurred yet is because they lost all the wars they started.

So when Hamas guns down Israeli civilians that are not next to military targets it's justified and actually the fault of the jews, and when Israel strikes Hamas military targets that are deliberately placed next to their own civilians it's never justified and the jews hould hang?

Very cool.

There really is no way to bomb hospitals and then blame the hospital for being a human shield when it was your bomb that murdered those children.

What do you realistically expect armies to do when their opponents place all their military assets next to civilian targets? Just give up and kill themselves?

Didn’t read further. This is pointless. I’m going to assume you don’t want the US to stop.

I want the US to stop invading other countries just like I want Russia and China to stop invading other countries.

Funny how US imperialism is always bad while Soviet/Chinese imperialism is just "missing context", provoked, justified, or just papered over with lies like "they were really gentle in their occupation".

Can you name even one instance of Soviet or Chinese imperialism that was, in your opinion, as bad as something the US has done? Not forced upon them by history or made bad by propaganda, just straight up them being bad imperialists.

[–] xzite@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes?

That's good. I didn't think you would be able to denounce the imperialism of the Soviet Union.

Do you or do you not think the US should stop interfering?

I don't want the Taiwanese to be subjugated by the Chinese, and I know that they don't want to either, so I support any actions that allow Taiwan to remain independent.

I don't want a Chinese invasion, but I also wouldn't want a US invasion of Cuba or the assassination of Fidel Castro.

[–] xzite@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Who said I want an invasion to happen?

OK, you "won't be happy about it" but will "understand why it happened". Do you feel the same way about a US invasion of Cuba, and the assassination attempts on Castro? You just wanted the Soviet Union to fuck off and mind its own business?
