@wawztzta8296 Moral clarity is especially important in times of crisis. His case is made. You have chosen the dark side.

Try for supporting terrorism. That it happens to conflict with his opinion is objectively not why it is bad. But I agree he might have strayed from moderation. But it is not my family being threatened (not here, not yet). But there is much criminal about what some of these people are doing which is not being punished. If they are a member of a terrorist organization, they need to be extradited or expelled. If they are in the country illegally, they need to be deported. If they committed violence or vandalism, they need to be arrested and charged. And too often, this is not being done, particularly outside the US. They have the same PC immunity as the Black Bloc rioters. I don't know about Australian law, but the "protestors" in Australia chanting "GAS THE JEWS" would not be exercising Constitutionally protected free speech in the US. It IS illegal to publicly advocate murder here.

When did MAN not have these issues? "Religion" is such a broad term that virtually no generalizations can be applied to the "whole". And what do you propose as an alternative? Atheism? An an antidote to ideological murder, that has a singularly abysmal track record. From the Jacobin Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, through the Soviet Union, the Third Reich, Communist China, and the Pol Pot regime; the result of a society based on atheism has invariably been bloodbath after bloodbath. The USSR alone murdered more of its own civilians than have ever been killed in all the inquisitions, pogroms, and purely religious wars in recorded history, and they only lasted: what? 80 or so years?

@theodis8134 The thread opener is effectively FOR the bombing if innocent civilians, by opposing the only effective countermeasure.

@Gummb0 Because leftism, and therefore Big Tech, have sided with Hamas. But it needs to be said. And he said it well.

"2 billions Muslims are not angry for no reason." They hate because they're taught to hate. In school in mosque and everywhere.

"How is support for Palestine support of Hamas?" One can imagine a hypothetical world in which this is not the case, but in the current case in the real world "humanitarian aid to the Palestinians" enriches, empowers, and arms Hamas (while Hamas leaves their people in poverty) and gestures of political support for their "cause" justify their atrocities. That's general support. I don't even mention the "protestors" in Australia chanting "gas the Jews". @amrozein8683 "You're saying they should be killed. Kids" He said nothing of the sort. If he had you wouldn't have to translate what he did say into Idiot. Children HAVE been killed. Islamic radicals killed them. Unless they are killed they will keep killing. The process of killing them may entail killing some innocents, largely because Hamas uses their own citizens as human shields. It did in the Second World War. The rescuers are not the moral peers of the deliberate mass butchers of innocents. Instead, they deserve the respect and gratitude of those who safeguarded our ability to be free to be ungrateful. Hamas and a high percentage of their subjects want to genocide Jews and enslave the world. To allow or facilitate this is evil is unconscionable, as the verdict of history attests. Neither Israel nor anybody else wants to genocide the Palestinians. Most of the Palestinians want to genocide the Jews. @shade221 "were the catholic kids in northern ireland as guilty as members of the IRA?" No "did they deserve the wrath of the british military? " If by "wrath" you mean "being angry", that would vary from child to child. If you mean did the deserve being arbitrarily blown up at home or at work, the British military didn't do that.

"sadly wrong"? Do you mean to say that there are NO widespread pogroms, AND THAT'S BAD?!

Much of the European and worldwide distribution and migration of Jews to that time was historically due to pogroms or expulsions. In other words, INVOLUNTARY. Expulsions were bad, but the Pogroms ranged from worse to much worse. I'll grant you that the Ukrainian pogroms of WW2 were (feebly) mitigated by the fact that the USSR used Jews as well as Russian carpetbaggers to implement oppressive Soviet policies, up to and including the Holodomor. The apparatchiks were evacuated from the advancing Wehrmacht and the Jews (including the innocent) were left holding the bag. That Ukraine was the ONE invaded country where the Reich could actually recruit heavily and freely is a testimony to how terribly the Soviets had treated Ukraine. Late Soviet era Russian joke: "Why did the Ukrainian pour oil on his garden?" "To keep the guns from rusting!" (I bet the Russians are still laughing at that one.)

Well, his point that Putin is using the WW2 involvement of Ukraine in the "Final Solution" as a central theme of his propaganda is certainly well taken, whether that particular theme is for domestic or foreign consumption.

He didn't say that.

He has family history with pogroms, and local experience.

"When you say with a blanket statement that all Palestinian supporters are Hamas supporters, then I question your ability to be impartial and look at this issue from an objective point of view." He said the exact opposite of that, plain as day. When you hear one thing can claim to hear the opposite, then I question your ability to be impartial and look at this issue from an objective point of view. "Hamas is using people as a human shields...What is equally horrifying is that the IDF are willing to bomb those civilians regardless" Regardless of what? Your notion of a "good" outcome is for Hamas' "horrendous" plan to work perfectly. Checkmate! Hamas keeps killing Jews until there are no Jews left. No national self defense has ever been pursued without civilian casualties. The Second World war was not by a long shot. To say that you are for a nation's self defense but not if it involves civilian casualties is simply to contradict yourself. Evil actors will always push you to a binary choice by seeking to use your ideals against you. It is in every playbook: the Koran, Machiavelli, Lenin, Hitler, the Palestinian National Covenant, Saul Alinsky. Freedom still exists because free men have passed this moral test again and again. As soon as we fail it the world will be enslaved and atrocities will abound without check and with no more protest than the screams of the crushed. "All they want is for Palestinian people to have the same basic freedoms that Israeli people have; they do not have that, in Gaza or in the West Bank." In the West Bank, which is governed by Israel, Arab Israelis have full rights of Israeli citizens; rights which Arabs have nowhere else in the Middle East and in no Islamic state worldwide. Voting rights, freedom of religion, women can drive and don't have to wrap themselves in a parka in tropical heat or be accompanies by a male protector from her family, rights of sexual preference, etc., the whole shebang. The only major difference is that Arab Israelis are exempt from the compulsory military service, though they can volunteer, and many do. In the Gaza strip, ruled by Hamas, Arabs suffer the most oppressive government in the Middle East, with none of the above freedoms. PERSONAL freedom is the only meaningful sort. "Group freedom" is invariably a smoke screen for tyranny. Taiwan votes to maintain its democracy, group freedom says mainland China owns them because they're Chinese. Northern Ireland votes to remain in the UK, group freedom says Ireland owns them because they're Irish. Many Blacks in the US vote Republican, Joe Biden and many other Democrats say the Democrat Party owns them because they're Black. (My! That sounds familiar!) Hitler says the destiny of Germany is important and Germans are being oppressed, he proceeds to steal other countries and murder racial minorities. Legitimate political organizations group to protect personal freedom from threats. That is the lone and essential purpose of government: to FORCE people to mind their own business. Because left to themselves, THEY WILL NOT. " 'river to sea', this is now a decisive phrase that will take on many meanings" Did you mean "divisive"? Check out Gazan school curriculum to see what it means to Hamas. Many of the protestors were indoctrinated in the same ideology. Regardless of what the protestors mean (and I suppose many are as naive as you), genocide would be the result of the victory of the side they're supporting. "I do not believe Jewish people have anything to fear from 99.9% of the people protesting for Palestinians." Jews are being beaten with sticks by these harmless puppies and sent to the hospital. The violence is well underway. At a protest in a prominent US campus a Jewish student was beaten and no action was taken by the campus security or police. They used a silhouette logo of the RING SAIL PARACHUTE ATTACKERS to make clear their support FOR THE ATTACK itself, not just the "Palestinian cause", if any. Australian pro-pal-prots chanted "GAS THE JEWS"! "I believe any attacks on Jewish people currently, are being perpetrated by genuine anti-Semites (a-S), or fools being coerced by a-S. " A quorum of pro-Palestinian protestors are as "genuine" as one could want. At this point there are far more imported pro-Palestinian radicals than home-grown (a-S) in the US. The latter haven't been able to accomplish much out in the open to this day, and most, though willing enough to use the "Palestinian cause" to make (a-S) hay, they don't really care about it and if the Israelis and Palestinians wiped each other out they would cheer and eat popcorn. They don't have the power to coerce anyone. "The only way to fix this is for everybody to push for a ceasefire and to support the rights of the Palestinian people." That didn't work the last fourty'leven times it was tried, yet you remain confident it will work this time. There is NOTHING you can offer the Palestinian radicals, BY EVERY OBJECTIVE METRIC A MAJORITY, which they haven't already received or been offered and REJECTED multiple times, short of their repeatedly stated, indoctrinated, documented, ratified, and acted upon goal of the obliteration of the Jewish state and all who live there. Don't believe what they say in English to the foreign press. Believe what they say in Arabic among themselves and what they act upon. The Palestinians will never be free until they are liberated from their ACTUAL oppressors, the Islamic militants.
