… and the quotes with evidence of your assertions on my positions?
OK. Here is what you wrote on the day of the barbaric attack, before Israel started a major air strike campaign.
I mean… Gaza is basically under siege by Israel. They control land, sea, and air access (with Egypt) and are quite happy to allow their citizenry to abuse and harass Palestinians if it makes them leave - a situation which is not limited to Palestinians.
This is the same Israel with a far-right government that passed a law that only Jews are entitled to self-determination in Israel.
So yeah, without going into more detail on the horrific things allowed by the Israeli government enacted upon the Palestinians, I don’t condone at all what Hamas are doing, but when their back is to the wall and they keep getting pushed by someone that wants to eliminate them, physically, culturally, or both, and the international community has basically abandoned them to that fate… what other option do they have?
Jews are evil. Jews are blockading Gaza. Jews are genociding Palestinians. I don't kinda support Hamas's attack but they were basically forced to do it by Jews who took all other options away from them.
Where did I say Jews were evil? I specifically mention the Israeli government, and in case it escapes your notice, that’s not representative of all Israelis, not all Israelis are Jews, and not all Jews are Israeli, Law of Return notwithstanding. The first link is about extremists
Heh. You are so good in this game. Noted. OK. I'll be speaking very literally with you. In the quoted message, you are clearly supporting one side over the other. You offered no condolences, expressed no disgust over the attack, and ultimately put all the blame on that one side. Technicalities of Israeli Government\Israeli\Jews are just that, technicalities. This conflict has sides, and those entities are on one side. You clearly blamed both Israel (all of it) and the Israeli Government. So yes, I concede, I was inaccurate, in your words Israel is Evil, not Jews(c).
What you said is exactly like going on 9/11/2001 with the take of "I don't condone the attacks, but policies of the USA and the American government left the other side any other ways to act"
"I don't condone but" is also very, very similar to the classic "I am not a racist\sexist\homophobe" but... It is used when people just can't say what they actually think because they understand how it looks and they try to soften it. You didn't say "I am horrified, disgusted, appalled" You chose the mildest form of disapproving of an act of sheer barbarity.
And then, Afghanistan is 252,000 square miles. The Gaza Strip has an area of 140 square miles. If you do the math, that's 93,600 times the bombs per unit time and area.
This is why people are calling it an ethnic cleansing, and not just another brutal conflict.
? Per square mile? Why would USA bomb huge sways of empty mountains in Afghanistan? Per unit of time? Why would USA need to bomb anything in Afghanistan for a year 24/7? If any metric is rational, then it is bombs used per square area of targets over the course of active fighting
And why do we use Afghanistan and not... hmm... lets say... Gulf War of 1991? I know! Numbers will be not as impressive because in that war the coalition did use a shitton of bombs over the span of weeks. There will be no emotional manipulation.
Also, using many bombs is not a war crime per se. Neither it is ethnic cleansing. There are no such international treaties and it doesn't meet the basic logic of what war crime is. Using many bombs is using many resources to inflict the maximum damage on the enemy. If Ukraine had thousands of missiles to strike Russian territory, we would use them all, using more bombs against the enemy is more effective than using fewer bombs against the enemy. Israel using many bombs means that, unlike Ukrainians, they were better prepared for a war.
You still need to prove the criminal use of those bombs.
