Anyone who asks someone to prove a prediction is categorically an idiot

What the hell does ‘right to a homeland’ mean?

Because his very political existence has been to pull Ukraine to the west and Israel is the US’s 51st state. Things are going very badly for him and he’s eager to get as much favor from the patron state as he can. He’s going to get eaten alive by his local politics.

They’re fascists. No slight is too small and no retaliation is too great.

This isn’t even the first journalist family they’ve targeted. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/25/family-of-al-jazeera-gaza-bureau-head-killed-in-israeli-air-raid

There are heroic stories from the Warsaw ghetto and partisans who refused to be captured and took to the forests that you’d be erasing by making such a claim. Martyrs. Examples you and I could only hope to live up to if we found ourselves in their shoes. Resilience against pain and suffering the likes of which we can only read about. The human spirit will not allow itself to be extinguished without a struggle. Those who wish to extinguish it will always have examples of violence occurring against them.

If you had asked them, they would have told you differently. They would have told you about the long and complicated history that brought them to that point and the necessity of their actions. They would have told you about the barbarism of their enemies and the atrocities they carried out.

Fun fact: The Nazis were already writing wild west style stories for their children about the lands they planned to take from the Slavs.

Okay devoid of all context and reality and focusing only on the rhetoric, you have a point.

Now imagine if I commit a genocide while claiming a right to defend myself, like the Nazis did? How is that phrase being deployed in that historical example?

If you claim a right to defend yourself while committing a genocide, it is in fact the same as calling for genocide.

Anyone here want to talk about how Israel is a rouge state and needs to be freedom’d?

They’ve killed way more journalists than Saudi Arabia. Do you doubt the bombs dismembered them?

Lots of downcopes from angry fascists and historically illiterate liberals

Whom among you can speak your disagreements? Don’t just sulk.

The state of Israel was founded as a colonial settler project. If you have never heard this before I’d be shocked to learn you’re from anywhere but the US

How about you try to prove a positive instead of asking for a source to prove something isn’t going to happen, debatelord

Why would that surprise you in the least?

No it isn’t. “Israel has a right to defend itself.” He said the line.

I predict that by the time I’m dead and no one can tell me I was wrong…

They’re not the Nazis. They’re the Nazis if they had absolute freedom to act in their region. They’re Americans.

Honestly if the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto didn’t want to get wiped out like that, they shouldn’t have rebelled. Their hands weren’t clean.

People have a right to be safe but no state has a right to exist, let alone a state defined by being a settler colonial project.

It’s not true that civilians are getting hurt in Gaza because of Hamas. They were already being killed off before the attacks.

“It’s complicated” is a constantly used rhetorical strategy by those in power to put off moral judgement.
