Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

Sure is and how many Israelis died on Oct. 7 as a result of Hamas' attack? Keep your hand raised, hey?

Whatabouting to something we've discussed at length and condemned hundreds of times when the mention of death of young girl who had already lost everything is about as pathetic as it gets. Again, just say you don't like Muslims and be done with it.

If Hamas didn't want innocents to die then they shouldn't have started a war. Will we be sad over innocent Russian civilian deaths like we are over the Palestinian deaths? Yes of course cause we're not heartless. But also, crap happens it's a war and Israel didn't start it.

Not to get all geopolitical, but are Russian civilians actually in any danger?  Haven't read much about that.  But your overall point is well taken.

Unarmed, shirtless men waving a white flag.

Everyone agrees that Hamas committed a horrific terrorist attack, and it is largely semantics, but how do you exactly define "starting a war" over there.

In numerous military excursions, and bombing campaigns in the West Bank, 234 Palestinians were killed by the IDF prior to October 7th. Nine additional civilians were murdered by Settlers. Do those count as part of a "war."

I think it is more accurate to say that the war started in ~1947 and is still ongoing.

But, the bottom line is Hamas is terrible, and committed a horrible terrorist attack.

It is also true that Israel's response is increasingly becoming more ugly as more information comes out, and in my opinion, no circumstances can justify the numbers of women and children that have died, especially those dying unnecessarily in hospitals.

Babies were left to die and rot in one of the hospitals attacked by the IDF, and that doesn't include the neonatal babies that died at Al Shifa. The entire US was up in arms and supported an invasion of Iraq, because of similar manufactured claims...but so many people look the other way when it is actually occurring to Palestinians.

The war is war excuse, is simply a way for people to justify horrific actions by people they support.

Saying crap happens over and over doesn't make it acceptable. Sniping healthcare workers and civilians because you're scared of anything that moves isn't ok. Attacking civilians whether in a Catholic Church, a mosque, a hospital, or a music festival isn't ok.

Saying "crap happens" is a nice way to dehumanize collateral damage though

"We're not heartless" and "crap happens" are statements that seem at odds.

Empathy, when the goal is to complete what Hitler started? This is where your Jesuit education led you? C'mon man, if you understood what's at stake here, and were a student of 20th Century history, I would hope your moral compass would steer you in the right direction, hey?

Yep. Those dead babies definitely were plotting to finish what Hitler started.

Speaking of Hitler, blood poisoning got you anxious these days?

Including one, that apparently kept a book of Hitler speeches on his nightstand next to him while he slept.

Y'all believe that non-hamas Palestinians are getting what they deserve, eh?

No, there were only a couple heartless souls who seem to believe that.

Pretty sure Palestinians voted Hamas to govern Gaza. Ya get what ya vote for. Kinda like how it works here, hey?

[NCMUFan]

For the theological majors.
Could some of the Palestinians be decedents of Israel, i.e., one of the lost tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel?

Yeah, look at Mississippi.

Maybe

"We're not heartless" On one hand it's admirable to bang together pots and pans when civilians get killed.

"crap happens" On the other hand it's not like any military is composed of the best and the brightest of the given country. It's a bunch of overtired, overcaffinated (or worse) teenagers armed to the tits. If we don't want regular people to get killed then we should avoid war because there is absolutely no way to keep armed teenagers from shooting people.

On one hand, I commend you for making your viewpoint crystal clear for all to see

On the other, I personally find it strange to abide by the same philosophy as Osama Bin Laden

Is this? Perhaps attending higher education should involve retaining some of the content and values. I suppose no one forces you to do that though, as you seem to demonstrate. But it is your right to insult the institution this board is built around. Garbage in garbage out as you say.
