  • That was a really long post. Nothing you said refuted anything I said. You're literally doing the thing I'm talking about.

    Do you support Hamas? Just admit it.

    After a decade of near-zero conflict Hamas unilaterally launched the largest offensive between the two states in a decade. They murdered babies and tortured and paraded civilian hostages around. They can't be trusted and should be destroyed.

    In the last decade since the last Israel/Palestine "war" in 2014 Israel has had barely any military action against Palestine. It's not like there's some kind of genocide happening - if Israel wanted genocide Gaza could be wiped from the planet overnight.

    Gaza has no democracy, no legitimate government, no industry, no trade. So no hope for the future. Countries don't want to take Palestinian refugees because they attempt coups and threaten to destabilize regions.

    The instant that Gaza forms a legitimate democratic government the attacks would stop. The moment that Gazans formed a non military state, the conflict stops.

    Don't get me wrong here - the situation for non-radicalized Palestinians is total dog shit. They are the biggest victims here but the blame falls on Hamas in my view.

  • I literally don't understand why people have a hard time with this.

    Israel has organized, funded armed forces wearing uniforms. Hamas has teenagers in street clothes hiding in hospitals, schools, and houses.

    Israel attempts to protect it's citizens, Hamas uses human shields.

    If you agree with the actions of Hamas, which are designed to maximize fear and force Israeli troops to make hard decisions during combat, you support terrorists. Just admit it. Calling Hamas a terrorist organization isn't necessarily perjorative. But it is perfectly descriptive.

    If you don't like that you support terrorists, then you have some deep reflecting to do.

  • "some brands of bikes" make frames out of carbon fiber with wireless derailleurs and have rear facing radar to detect when other bikes or vehicles are approaching, how fast, and on which side.

    When your exercise, your recreation, your hobby, and your transportation are all the same thing, it's easy to justify spending more to make those things as easy and pleasant as possible.

    You can get a perfectly usable bike for very little money in America... Probably still made in China though 😂

  • Just BROADLY speaking, the pro Palestinian take right now is that Israel should be removed and Palestine given all of the territory.

    Like, that's the take. They don't just want an end to the violence - Israel wants that too. Hamas has been dedicated to the destruction of Jews and Israel for basically forever.

    So it's asymmetrical.

    The pro Israel take is "destroy Hamas so that these attacks stop and there can be peace." But it's important to note that up until the October 7 attack Israel only wanted peace. This new policy is a reaction to an unprecedented attack.
