They asked why the West was letting Israel get away with so much. Then listed various examples of things that are causing widespread harm to civilians.

They didn’t really list anything but some superficial simplifications. ‘The West’ let Israel get away with ‘Palestine’. They let them get away with ‘terrorist tactics’ and ‘Lebanon’. Are these vague accusations ‘causing widespread harm to civilians’? I think they deserve more discussion than to just say they did ‘a Lebanon’ and call it an open and shut case Johnson…

So the West is not letting Hezbollah get away with it.

Meanwhile the West continues to provide weapons to Israel, who is using those weapons to cause significant harm to civilian populations.

Hezbollah (and Hamas) are being armed and supported by Iran. Now everyone knows that the zionists will not see the paradise they crave in the afterlife, but if you’re working towards a better world you can’t ignore the fact that Iran and the conservative extremist movement they are part of are even worse. ‘The West’ can ignore that and let the people of Israel get genocided by even worse people, or they can hope for a stalemate (which means they have to support Israel) or a win for Israel (which means they have to support Israel). In any case, not supporting Israel will result in the faction vying for things like legalised child rape (amongst other horrific shit) will win. That will result in a worse world by any measure.

That’s the question. Why is the West letting Israel attack civilians without repercussion? There’s no reason in good faith to ask someone who asks this question about how they feel about Hezbollah attacking civilians. Because, ostensibly, they are opposed to violence against civilians. As, clearly, is the West when it’s not Israel (or, indeed, the West) perpetrating the violence.

When fighting extremists that blend into a civilian population, it’s impossible to be effective without causing civilian deaths. In cases like Mosul or Raqqa, you reach a point where you have to turn the dial past the marker because you just can’t destroy them without hurting any civilians. When ‘the West’ fought the nazi’s, they broadly went over that line because not doing so would have just resulted in more suffering for more people.

A funnier fact! The poster I replied to wasn’t ‘criticizing Israel’s tactics’ - they were questioning why ‘the West’ allowed Israel to attack Hezbollah.

Take your ‘both sides are bad in this conflict’ to heart and read their comment again

Do you think it’s a bad thing the West is letting Hezbollah get away with attacking civilians in Israel? Or is it a good thing?

As soon as Hamas opens up and hands out those crates of totally unsuspicious “secure personal pagers” that just kinda washed up on the beach you’ll see your dream come true

The genocidal fervor that Israel is displaying is only equaled by Germany in the 1940s.

Germans killed 15.000 per day for a while

Hutu’s killed 8.000 per day

So you’re saying that because a religion allows you to choose which of God’s commandments, carefully passed down through every generation, you personally want to follow based on your gut feeling, can’t be shamed?

Why should the ones who choose to deny parts of their religion be seen as representative of it over those who’ve chosen to uphold them?

Why shouldn’t I shame the religion because some people choose to ignore part of it?

You have to remember that their religion teaches them that non-jewish humans are, well, ‘not that important’

To put it mildly

What I found weird was how many large BLM protests were organized for what I think were legitimate cases of police violence. Michael Brown and Jacob Blake come to mind.

Like there are plenty, plenty of legitimate cases, but when the same crowd doesn’t seem to make any distinction between obviously trigger happy cops and pretty undisputable self defense, the end goal and the solution becomes very unclear.

As you say: vote for better politicians. Vote for as much footage being recorded (cameras on vehicles, bodycams) and fully released immediately. Advocate people of underrepresented ethnicities joining the police force. It’s not easy but it’s the real path towards a better situation.

This is not a question, Egypt is not the problem here

Did you see that picture of Egypt putting down concrete blocks to block their side of the Rafah crossing

Did you read the statements from Egyptian officials that they’re keeping the crossing shut, hoping this pressures Israel to retreat?
