When Al Queda crashed four airplanes on 11 September, you had TONS of Americans protesting against invading Afghanistan over it, and you had Dubya telling the whole world that you either supported the US in our invasion -or- you were supporting terrorists. It was a bullshit false dichotomy then, and it’s a bullshit false dichotomy now.
Hamas is a terrorist organization. They did terrorist things. Israeli is an apartheid state. They’re committing genocide and war crimes. It’s not true that, “Hamas is a terrorist organization, so anything Israel does is just”, nor is it true that, “the Israeli directly murders and allows the murders of Palestinian non-combatants, therefore Hamas’ use of terrorism and sexual violence is justified”.
You’re the kind of guy that would gladly accept an airplane flying into your world trade center office. Having known people who died that day, you disgust me.
You present no alternatives just rabel rousing.
As I remember, there wasn’t much demonstration over Afghanistan. There was over Iran, which was a stupid war. You better check your facts.
I never justified anything. I look for alternatives that don’t seem to be there. You’re the one justifying Hamas barbaric display
Uh. When did we go to war with Iran again? Are you taking about when the shah was deposed, or the hostage crisis in the late 70s? I’m not sure that this is really relevant here.
As I remember, there wasn’t much demonstration over Afghanistan.
You remember incorrectly. A strong majority believed it was justified. A minority recognized that it was a disproportionate response, and would do more harm than good. I, for one, strongly remember talking to a coworker and saying that we were going to end up killing tens of thousands of uninvolved non-combatants–civilian women and children–because Al Quaeda killed 5,000 Americans. Not only was I right, but bin Laden wasn’t even in Afghanistan when we invaded.
I look for alternatives that don’t seem to be there.
Then you aren’t looking very hard, are you? The alternative has been there since 1947, but Israel won’t accept any solution that doesn’t give them the entirety of their god-promised Zion.
Fuck off with that nonsense.
