Castanza Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 12 hours ago, Xerxes said: I would take a troublesome little Kim over normalization of using nuclear weapons. The post-1945 nuclear taboo has been a blessing. And that blessing is compounded by the longevity since last it was used in war. It hasn’t been long enough to come to that conclusion yet imo. Even Bertrand Russell said that humanity rarely goes more than 100 years without a major screwup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubsfan Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Beginning at 3:45 - there is a short 3 minute interview of an UNRWA employee discussing Hamas control of their facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Thanks Cubsfan Admittingly I don’t even know what is UNRWA. Will have a look unrelated this another great informative episode. PS: the episode ends with a reference to an Anthony Bourdain’ (RIP) when he was filming Beirut in 2006 when all hell broke loose and how it changed him. I haven’t seen that specific one, I think I ll watch it. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/carnegie-connects/id1568315057?i=1000675182933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coc Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 So since IDF HQ is in and around Tel Aviv (the Kirya), Israel uses human shields and many areas of Tel Aviv are legitimate targets for 2k ton bombs, am I following the logic of this thread correctly?

Sure, the same way the US uses human shields because the Pentagon is located in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Israel puts IDF or Mossad HQ under apartment buildings or hospitals, then you'd be correct. Until then, the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, would be similarly depraved logic to what the IDF uses. (We may also bring up that the "human shield" genocide propaganda doesn't make sense since Israel has slaughtered tens of thousands of civilians - often in a targeted way, s.a. the report made by dozens of returning American and British doctors about children being targeted by snipers - so I guess they aren't "shields" at all.) 17 hours ago, Dinar said: When Israel puts IDF or Mossad HQ under apartment buildings or hospitals, then you'd be correct. Until then, the answer is no. Oh yeah, which Hamas "HQ" was under a hospital? al-Shifa? No, some small weapons, computers, and tunnels which criss-cross the entirety of Gaza. And what about the two dozen other hospitals bombed into uselessness? And who gets to decide the completely arbitrary standard you've just laid out? Israel? No, thanks. Just a reminder for anyone following this thread that, that earlier in the thread the above genius and genocide defender/denier said "If Israel was committing genocide, there would be no population in Gaza" an idiotic (and false) standard which would invalidate every recognized genocide since the Hutus, Jews, Armenians, Cambodians, Bosniaks all seem to have populations left. I'm not coming back to this thread because I will only engage genocide deniers ONCE on the behalf of an open-minded third party reader (you don't change the mind of the morally incapable), whom I encourage to do their own research in case they encounter this BS thread that is a stain on the entire forum.

There is no moral equivalency between sponsored terrorist organizations and our Middle Eastern ally. Fortunately the majority sees it that way.

You just lie. 90-95% of Jews, all non-combatants, were killed in areas controlled by the Nazis in WWII. What % of Gaza's population that are non-combatants have been killed? 1%? How many non-combatants in Gaza were killed by Hamas? Jews were not shooting at Nazis in 1939 Poland or 1941 Ukraine. You want to end the war? Call for Hamas to surrender.
