Nope, that's you. 18 hours ago, I am Groot said: I think it's sad but I don't really care, no. It happens all the time, every day, all over the world. Tragedies, slaughters, murder and rape, villages destroyed, people driven off to roam the streets in search of safety. That's how much of the world is outside the West. I found what happened on Oct 7 particularly disturbing because unlike most of the rest of the world where such things happen, Israel is a Western country. I feel more kinship with such countries. Israel might suck on the tit of the west but it's not a Western country. Quote As far as I can tell, the Palestinian territories are made up of people whose ferocious hate and barbarism has been cultivated by their leaders, including religious leaders, for decades. There seems to be little in the way of civilization among them. The sympathy I see and hear from people in the West towards a group who hold everything you claim to value in utter contempt and would do their best to destroy it if they could is just another example of how brainless and self-hating much of the Left is. The fact that you don't believe in the western idea of universal human rights shows you don't actually care about western values at all. You're no different from those you hate at all. Quote People like you want to destroy Israel. But like the Palestinians and much of the Muslim world, you also want to destroy the rest of the West, including Canada. No just you, specifically. 1 Quote

For example, our supreme court says that imprisoning a mass murderer without giving him a chance at parole after no more than 25 years is a violation of human rights.

FYI the Gazans weren't even muslims the last time that region wasn't ruled by a foreign power. What Arabs/Berbers did 4,000 years ago is not applicable to what's happening today. If we all held grudges that long then we'd all be obliged to kill each other, along half the people in our own families. Quote The entire saga of the middle east centers on the establishment of a Muslim caliphate. As for Isreal.. the conflict all starts with the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The grudges in the middle east run long and deep. When the state of Israel was formed in 1948... the majority of the population in that geography were what? Arabs/Berbers... who were mostly Muslim and had been since roughly 1200. This is why the conflict keeps going and will always continue. This is much the same as the Europeans coming to what is now called the US and forcing the natives off the land. Only difference is that the Palestinians (arabs/berbers) are better equipped.

It is the Mein Kempf of the middle east. The devout muslims absolutely despise this. Why? Small spoiler... it does not paint westerners as the devil Quote

Well, to start with, there is no nation to destroy. As for the people, if Israel wanted to destroy them they could have already killed every man, woman and child in Gaza ten times over. The casualties are actually quite low for urban warfare. When the US went into Fallujah there were four civilians killed for every 1 dead guerrilla. In Gaz it's more like one for one. That's incredibly low because Israel has been making enormous efforts to minimize civilian casualties. 2 Quote

Or are you is some 1diotic way saying the Israeli occupation, invasion, bombing and killing is accidental?? LOL According to the UN one must meet all of the conditions before Genocide by their definition become possible... The intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group. It is this special intent, or dolus specialis, that makes the crime of genocide so unique. In addition, case law has associated intent with the existence of a State or organizational plan or policy, even if the definition of genocide in international law does not include that element. https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml * note that it does not include Terrorist groups as they are not protected under the conventions of war. I would say unless you have proof of intent then Genocide is off the table... 2 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

Your second post in this thread: "I am equally upset that Israel has not stopped the bombing and is planning more raids and will not even sit to discuss cease fire. It seems that Israel is doing it's utmost to wipe out hamas regardless of the cost of civilian life." I had not reviewed all your others before I joined the forum. No, it is not genocide. I already explained this to you, and if you remember, that is when you went off on your tangent of nuking them all, pretending like you don't care. You keep saying there are no good guys, but I have yet to see you directly criticize Hamas by name and for what they did on October 7th. You keep criticizing Israel, and then when your arguments get picked apart, you resort back to the generic they are all bad comment acting like you don't care. Quote

They use Hospitals to hide in, to run command from, to store weapons, and fire rockets from schools or near them... so when Israel dares to blow them up... they can play on the ignorant sympathy of the world to cry about how awful it was that some kids were blown up or a school destroyed. No, it was Hamas that endangered them. 1 Quote

From a modern statehood standpoint, there has never been an independent Palestine. At no point has the region not been under siege since Israel became a country. Sure at points, they've been granted limited self governance, but Israel has never granted them sovereignty or freedom. That "land" includes coastal waters that have been under Israeli Blockade. They never had it 100% to themselves. Israel would certainly like to neutralize the threat a free Palestine would pose to them, but they don't really have any moral justification to do that by pre-emptively invading a foreign territory just because that territory's citizens hate them. And Israel has never stopped committing acts of war against that territory for a single moment. The territory has been blockaded and sieged pretty much non stop since Israel gained statehood. Any act by Palestine against Israel could be considered a war crime, but it's not terrorism. Israel is the stronger party by far. None of Israel's Territory is under Palestinian Occupation. They could end the war whenever they want. Israel doesn't want Peace. Many find the idea of a Palestinian state in its current form objectionable, but the world does not approve of invading Iran or Saudi Arabia or Pakistan just because you don't like the way their countries are run, why is Palestine any different? Hamas is quite detestable, but it's easy to sympathize with the defenders in a war. With the average age of the territory's citizens, there likely isn't a local Palestinian alive today who hasn't been under attack by Israel since the day they were born. So even if hamas is undeniably morally worse than Israel in a vacuum, the circumstances make Israel the undeniable villains in the conflict. 1 Quote

Either way, the current situation is unsustainable if someone truly wants peace. At present.. it is simply a matter of lather, rinse, and repeat. This assumes the Palestinians and their leadership want peace. History just doesn;t back this up, going back a century. Peace for most of the them means Zionism and the Israeli state is eradicated from the reigion and 100% of the land is back in control of Muslims. They will never, ever accept a 2-state solution longterm. These are children playing in the sandbox and unable to share.
