So let me see if I understand you correctly. Israel is not allowed to defend itself against anyone unless they are on equal footing?

A war cannot be fought except between equals? Surely I am not understanding this correctly?

Israel is allowed to defend itself, Israel is not allowed to treat non-combatants as non-human. Don’t like it? Take it up with the Geneva Convention.

Also, go back, you’re going with the “war is hell” justification citing Allies pure intentions, and I pointed to 2 specific instances where that wasn’t the case and the allies intentionally killed 100s of thousands of innocents. Are you done with that line of thought now?

Israel is violating international law with the occupation of Palestine. Of course Israel is allowed to defend itself, but the occupation of Gaza makes 10/7 a reaction to Israeli violence. IDF soldiers have been tormenting and killing Palestinians for longer than Hamas has existed. IDF kills kids all the time. There is no accountability, and surprise, surprise it inspires terrorism.

Is Gaza allowed to defend itself? is the question, but Israel has tricked us into asking a different question.

I've brought this up as well, the affinity for the Palestinians is odd to me. The consciousness of this military campaign and the complete blinders to what's going on in Africa, in multiple countries seems intentional and agenda driven to me.

What's going on in Gaza is marginal genocide IMO, meaning I can see why some would think it is. What is happening in some places in Africa is absolute genocide/ethnic cleansing........... Yet crickets. I guess the wrong kind of brown people are being killed for us to care about.

We're not funding and running cover for the terrorists in Africa, the miscreants aren't our longstanding allies, and our government's not trying to silence those decrying the atrocities there.

I'm talking in general, the world. No coverage, no discussion, no calls to stop or action........ By anyone.

Yet everyone is very focused on the situation in Gaza that is in at least some portion of their own creation, and much smaller in scale. It seems intentional.

There have been multiple attempts over the decades to find solutions that Palestinians could live with, and at different times violated by the actions of both. Palestinians rejected their own state because they let their puppeteers convince them to reject something because they could not get everything.

Israel isn't innocent at all, and this needs to stop but the Palestinians share at least some blame in where they are today. Far too long their mantra has been all or nothing..... It looks like the issue is being forced now for better or worse. In contrast Africa it's die on sight because you are Christian or not Muslim.

There are plenty of denunciations, calls to stop, action,s etc. For example, the UN General Assembly (your favorite I know) has denounced and sanctioned them.. Just because it's not on CNN or Fox doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Where is the outrage, the vitriol? It's a larger scale and better case for genocide........ It makes the outrage and vitriol for what's going on in Gaza look like virtue signaling.

This is how the issue appears to me...... It's not that genocide is happening in Gaza so much as it's that the Palestinians are on the receiving end, and Israeli Jews responsible. I don't see any other way to reconcile it given the complete ignorance of greater acts of genocide.
