Most palestinians are Muslims, and adhere to Islamic law (and they would 100% want to be governed by it),
Why do extremists always find ways to exploit conflicts?
Don't you know? Leaving the trenches of France and the shit holes of of Germany, to go fight in lands hundreds of miles away is defence. Especially lands that didn't or doesn't belong to you.

Makes sense to me :kobeha:
Yes makes a lot of sense. Sounds like what Murica is doing. Murica best country in the world.
 
Indeed my bad, I'm a little tired.

Sorry @Sekai Saikyō Mihawk I missread your post.
No worries it happens

Zealots (this is for extremists in general) or for profit. Those are the only 2 reasons they do what they do imo

Comparing suffering into a hierarchy is not necessarily the best way of operating
Notice that I'm not comparing here. I know that suffering are relative. I'm only saying that there is a point of suffering when no human is immune to becoming a monster. None.


I mean, when I was a child I had knives held to my throat. I have scars down my back. I know what it's like to have tools of murder directed at you at a young age.
I have not lost 30 people because of it, mind you. And that is a sad experience for those people.
I hope you got better


We explain what the terrorists did, but people tend to ignore what the IDF do in response. It is here where your explanation comments lie flat. Do you think those who enacted revenge back should be pitied as well? You don't, from what I've read.
In a conflict you must ALWAYS look at WHO has the power. it works as much as military that human conflict. When a kid make a very big mistake, the one with the power is not the kid, so the kid even tho he made a mistake should not be beaten.

You know the sentence :"with great power, comes great responsibilities".

When you have the power, you have the responsibility of your answer. Yes, victims on the israelian side are sad, noone is saying the opposite, but the answer is NOT to act as you have the same power as the other guy, you don't. IDF has military and the atomic power. Hamas doesn't and is very ... very small in comparison. So even then, you must act accordingly. Or its being a fool in the game.


No. I said it's evil
No one is evil. We only do evil things.

I do not believe any of them should have any justifications for their actions.
Justification doesn't mean forgiveness. We MUST understand the problem to face it or we will redraw the circle of hate again and again and again.
Most revolutions result in an unprepared group taking over and often or not being just as fascistic or tyrannical as the previous dictatorship.
No.


I will not "be careful" with calling it how it is. These people, the ones who attacked back, are evil. They were being savages, regardless of why. And it is that reality that we must accept.
First step toward fascism: dehumanization of the ennemy


I'm sorry to tell you this, Logiko, but not being in their specific place does not mean I don't have any understanding. I didn't lose 30 members of my family. But I lost the ability to trust almost anyone. I was betrayed, abused, raped and nearly killed by those who were meant to protect me. I was left with my monster by services that are meant to save you from them (police, social services). I was freed, only to have a new aggressor take up his reigns. I was homeless, I was malnourished to the point that I almost died, and I did not become a monster who would act on my base instincts.
And this is sad, but you are still alive. Those guys are waiting death right now.


Yeah you don't know what you're talking about. Most palestinians are Muslims, and adhere to Islamic law (and they would 100% want to be governed by it), and under that law if Hamas or anyone else under that law, targeted civilians they would be put down as that is considered murder.
I don't care about their ideology I only care about their actions right now. We are not in a position to discuss ideology here.

I actually agree with you here

What does ''attacking back'' mean?:sighting:
 
What is your stance on the death penalty?
I believe in objective evil. If found guilty of the most heinous of crimes in a court of law (very important), then I do think that it should be allowed. It is not on the individual to administer that punishment.

I think bad things can make people into monsters, but once they become monsters they are evil.

I have gotten better. It was a long journey, however.

I don't agree. Not about the kid beating, but the concept of power being the most contributing factor. It's oppression politics and runs on intersectionality which is a divisive ideology. Law should be objective.

I am glad you accept what the Israelites received was bad. Their response has been just as monstrous.

People become evil once they commit evil. Anyone can become evil. You can also choose to be good. That is morality. I will give you that people can perceive good and evil differently, and it can depend on what side you are on, BUT, I believe in an objective morality based on things that people inherently seem to know: "Do not kill," etc.

The Soviet revolution resulted in mass starvation and eventual tyranny. That is just one example.

Which is what both the Palestinians AND the Israelites are doing to each other. The Palestinians are just as fascist in your opinion.

I was waiting for death, though. The result is proof that you can come out of it without becoming a monster, no?

What does ''attacking back'' mean?:sighting:
Effectively, those who are aggrieved (the Palestinians) have struck back at Israel through acts of terror. It is wrong. Why does not matter.

But isnt that his point though? That they are monsters? Doesnt matter how they became like that if the point is just that they are
As you say, my concern isn't why. Anyone can become a monster. But I cannot excuse becoming one.

Shit logic

Why tho? Legal systems are corrupted and those with the best lawyers win anyways.

People become evil once they commit evil.
I don't think so.

Nah man. This post here is super wrong. What do you think should an oppressed group do to protect themselves and their future? Sit and pray and wait until they are annihilated?🤡

I respect the rule of law as I do not agree with anarchy (it is not a better alternative). Vigilantism will cause more pain and suffering. To eliminate all injustice is impossible, but we can hope to minimize it.

You're free to disagree.

I never said I couldn't understand why. I think it's evil, but I know people will fight for what they think is right. Doesn't make them less monstrous.

What is even a 'casualty'? You mean a person that was killed?
Casualty -- victims -- those who died, were injured, kidnapped, etc etc. There were innocent civilians who were attacked. That should have been avoided.

I don't disagree with war on principle. Hamas should have attacked the IDF if they believe so much in their ideology. Not the civilians.
 
But isnt that his point though? That they are monsters? Doesnt matter how they became like that if the point is just that they are
Yes, you are right, bad language habit, I shouldn't call them monster in the first place. Just murderers.

The dehumanization is problematic coming from me or anyone else.

This would simply allow murder.

We don't reply to atrocity with more atrocity.

I shouldn't have call them monster in the first place. No one should be dehumanized. And no one is evil.

I don't agree. Not about the kid beating, but the concept of power being the most contributing factor. It's oppression politics and runs on intersectionality which is a divisive ideology. Law should be objective.
Neutrality is the mother of injustice.
Yes we should be objective. But objectivity means understanding WHO has the POWER. Only fool think that someone shooting rocks should be gun down with a pistol. In EVERY CONFLICT we must look at the power. This is a basic principle in understanding geopolitic and conflict diplomacy in general.


People become evil once they commit evil
No, they just do evil things. Becoming evil is only the discourse of someone that believe in divine essentialism. This isn't reality.


The Soviet revolution resulted in mass starvation and eventual tyranny. That is just one example.
The system is flawed, the people are not evil. They only do evil things. (which should not even be called "evil" in the first place. "bad" is more appropriate.


Which is what both the Palestinians AND the Israelites are doing to each other.
Not at all. You are completely ignoring delibarately or not the disymetry of the conflict here.

Again, WHO HAS THE POWER ?

The result is proof that you can come out of it without becoming a monster, no?
Possible, but very unlikely if noone is here for you or you have no hope of coming back.
 
I respect the rule of law as I do not agree with anarchy (it is not a better alternative). Vigilantism will cause more pain and suffering. To eliminate all injustice is impossible, but we can hope to minimize it.
Where is the court of law that can and will punish international war crimes? Most war crimes go unpunished.
Casualty -- victims -- those who died, were injured, kidnapped, etc etc. There were innocent civilians who were attacked. That should have been avoided.
Yes but using the word casualty sounds dehumanizing. That's still people we're talking about
