The vast majority of those conflicts are not war ColinC Feb 2024 #61

I think the Iraqi's and Afghans would not agree it was not war EX500rider Feb 2024 #64

Much as the Koreans and Phillipinos would likely consider their occupations war. ColinC Feb 2024 #68

The Japanese invasion of the Philippines was certainly war EX500rider Feb 2024 #70

I am not referring to the Korean civil War or the invasion of the phillipines ColinC Feb 2024 #71

"Just needless killing on behalf of one side."... Oct 7th keithbvadu2 Feb 2024 #86

Is Netanyahu breeding more terrorists than he's killing? Martin Eden Feb 2024 #14

Why are you saying Palestinians are singularly bloodthirsty? Arazi Feb 2024 #15

I said no such thing. Martin Eden Feb 2024 #16

Yes, you did Arazi Feb 2024 #24

Historically this is a trend. It's a slippery slope argument right now, ColinC Feb 2024 #31

Now you're comparing Palestinians to ISIS??!! Arazi Feb 2024 #36

Actually let's start at Israel violating the Oslo Accords following Sharon's death ColinC Feb 2024 #37

Or how about we go back to the Six Day War? Arazi Feb 2024 #45

We are talking about Palestine so let's stay there. ColinC Feb 2024 #72

The British bear responsibility, no doubt Arazi Feb 2024 #77

Thank You Martin Eden Feb 2024 #78

Ray you are 100% correct. Irish_Dem Feb 2024 #21

So, you don't agree w/ the concept of War Crimes al bupp Feb 2024 #49

My personal feelings have nothing to do with the fact that war is annihilation. Irish_Dem Feb 2024 #57

I think justifying war crimes by way excusing attacks on civilians "the way things are" al bupp Feb 2024 #67

K&R hay rick Feb 2024 #9

Watched an interview with him this morning Nanjeanne Feb 2024 #11

Nah, it's war. A war Hamas instigated knowing full well the consequences Arazi Feb 2024 #12

When was the last time Hamas attacked Israelis or reacquired lost territory? ColinC Feb 2024 #18

10/7 is just "something that happened months ago"? maxsolomon Feb 2024 #20

Again I find it interesting how folks justify indefinite killing ColinC Feb 2024 #25

Hamas said it's a war. That's *their* word Arazi Feb 2024 #22

Does that make sense to you? ColinC Feb 2024 #27

Hamas is a death cult. Nothing makes sense Arazi Feb 2024 #33

I'm not talking about war. I'm talking about needless disproportionate killing ColinC Feb 2024 #35

You think Israel cares what the world thinks?! Arazi Feb 2024 #40

Justifying war crimes by "that's just war" isn't a very convincing argument ColinC Feb 2024 #85

"Annihilation" is what Hamas baited Israel into. maxsolomon Feb 2024 #19

"Israel has probably killed far more people in retaliation for the killing of less than 2,000 people, than the US.. EX500rider Feb 2024 #55

I stand corrected ColinC Feb 2024 #58

Who "baited" who? David__77 Feb 2024 #38

HAMAS Started This Fucking War Cha Feb 2024 #26

What do the innocent Palestinians whose families are murdered by the IDF have to do with Hamas? ColinC Feb 2024 #29

HAMAS Invaded Israel and Slaughtered Innocent Israelis & Cha Feb 2024 #43

Again. I don't understand what that has to do with the people being murdered by the IDF? ColinC Feb 2024 #53

What do the innocent civilians in all wars have to do with their government? EX500rider Feb 2024 #56

Innocent civilians in all wars are not necessarily explicitly targeted. ColinC Feb 2024 #59

They do not appear to be to me, quite the opposite EX500rider Feb 2024 #63

and Israel is morally responsible for continuing this war and killing tens of thousands of civilians DBoon Feb 2024 #42
