Ah, yes, the 2758 people were all Hezbollah.

Why do people care so much about this? Like seriously this is the thing you go to court over?

I mean gang violence is usually not a grand spectacle event, so it has nothing to do with the text you’re quoted.

No? The conversation was (and still is) centered around school shootings.

I mean nobody was talking about gang violence here.

This is a… Unique way of thinking about this. I’ll preface all of this by saying: Get therapy, or at least talk to people. Seriously. Feeling that every day is agony and hating your parents for giving birth to you clearly means you’re hurting somewhere. There is absolutely no need for that to be your normal.

how much better that would be for everybody.

Uh… Why are you talking like you’re the antichrist or something? In all likelihood you’re a mildly good person in the eyes of some people and a mildly bad person in the eyes of others. I mean you know yourself better than I do, but stop for a minute and think whether the dramatic statement of “how much better that would be for everybody” makes sense.

It just frustrates me that something SO SIMPLE could have saved me 41 years of daily agony.

I know that this is the product of deeper mental health issues, but I’ll just point out that you’re doing the same thing your mother did; only in your case it’s your life instead of Phil Hartman. I mean 41 years? Yeah you probably weren’t in agony before gaining object permanence, and definitely not every single day of your life. Just because things are hard now doesn’t mean you have to reject happiness you had in the past.

0 years is the maximum timeline for vigilantism.

I mean… some people just deal worse with food in many ways. You can give three children the exact same food and they’ll all end up with different amounts of body fat.

It’s a place where thanks to Uncle Sam there’s no real power that can object to having their neighbors’ or allies’ sovereignty violated by a great power. Iraq tried to change that and… Uh… We all know how that ended.

Lemme play a sad note on the world’s smallest violin.

They’re still accused?

Yeah thanks that makes sense.

So what exactly was the point of trying to remove the video in the first place?

Please educate me.

Selling weapons to an entity that you know will use them to commit atrocities is illegal under US law, and supporting genocide is illegal under international law. There.

In Israel it’s because Israel as a state actively supports settlements. This is why Palestinians don’t just shoot settlers; when you do that the IDF comes.

Outside Israel it’s because that would he “antisemitism”.

Here’s the thing: They unilaterally declared these places to be “protected”. It’s not like the Bedouins started living there last Tuesday.

I know I’m preaching to the choir but the way they count losses is fucking ridiculous.

from what I gathered, I believed that Israel just took some land on which other people were living ~70 years ago, displacing these people. Those peoples didn’t like being displaced and tensions grew, until attacks happened on Israel, to which Israel had mixed responses with violence and suppression, rinse, repeat and escalate for decades.

Uh… You’re forgetting the Apartheid, brutal military occupation, massacres, ethnic cleansing via settlers and every other injustice Palestinians have faced for the past 70 years.

Now Israel had it with attacks from Palestine

You do realize Israel is the occupier here, right? Setting aside whether Israel has a right to exist (it doesn’t; Apartheid ethnostates have no place in the 21st century), they absolutely have no right to keep killing Palestinians and stealing their land, yet they’ve been doing it for more than 70 years.

and is going with the only chance it sees at maybe stopping it, which is a very violent war,

Even if that was true, collective punishment is a war crime and Israel cleared that bar even before they bombed half of Gaza into oblivion. Even if Israel’s goals were justified, their conduct during this “war” is absolutely unacceptable.

at least if you accept the existence of Israel, because if not they are the aggressors for occupying the space in the first place.

At this point it’s not a problem of “in the first place”. Israel is an occupier because they keep militarily occupying Palestine. Gaza and the West Bank are still considered as militarily occupied by the UN.

I mean they were doing a good job radicalizing Palestinians before the genocide, but yeah.
