Yes, it’s pretty shocking how people have come out in support of an Iranian-funded terrorist group that has killed women, children, and a hundred Americans

Unfortunately choices have consequences

When asked for a source, you're asked to link to a specific statement or report.

Sounds like a real pain in the ass, and a bad-faith way to move a great deal of burden to someone you’d like to shut up. I told you what the source was; why don’t you do your own fucking homework?

No one is saying that it will be deadly, always. What depriving a trans person from gender affirming care does is make them miserable, drive them towards unhealthy coping mechanism and raises suicidality.

But the care results in no reduction in suicidality.

They’ve targeted civilians, including 40 people at a US Embassy.

It’s targeting the militant based on his phone.

Defending Israel on Lenny leads to banning, it’s happened several times

Have you ever worked in emergency medicine or been in an accident? Someone could have been hit with shrapnel and hid it due to sheer adrenaline. People have been shot in mass shootings and had limbs bit off by sharks and not really "noticed." It's entirely possible to keep going/dissociate from an injury if you think that the bombing event will continue, if you're still in danger, if you think acknowledging your wound will put you in danger. Or if you think people will assume your innocent kid that got killed was a terrorist, you might want to lie about how they died so you can have a nice funeral and people won't remember them like that or accuse your family of being terrorists.

Ok, can we talk about things that aren’t made up, now? Israel didn’t send sharks to Lebanon.

The fascists have breached the social contract of tolerance with their disinformation campaign

I don’t think there was ever a “social contract” where we agreed that you couldn’t send things through the mail that weren’t socially determined to be “true”, but if we ever did, you’re violating the compact by describing gender reassignment treatment as “lifesaving” when the best evidence on the issue is that it’s neutral at best.

Have you forgotten that Iran was once an Israeli ally, or that Israel once held Lebanon as a puppet?

When did Israel “hold” Lebanon?

Hamas was made in large part due to Israel interference in Gazas politics as was the PLO.

Were either Hamas or the PLO allies of Israel? If the PLO was the ally of Israel then why did they kill the entire Israeli Olympics team in Munich?

Peace was never the goal of Israel

Peace has always been the goal of Israel. The elimination of all Jews has always been the goal of Hezbollah and Hamas and they’ll die for it.

2,800 injured (according to the Lebanon health minister, not Hezbollah - and no data on how many were associated with hezbolla)

The article states that his figures are coming from Hezbollah.

You posted a description of an ambulance, down to the color of its lights and the presence of people standing nearby looking on.

What was the relevance of that?

It's hundreds of explosions, some of which were in cars (presumably causing car accidents) and crowded areas.

A person injured in a crowded area would be rapidly attended to and accounted for, especially by now, two days later.

If there’s an unaccounted victim, it’s somebody off by themselves with a Hezbollah pager and thus not a civilian. So this argument actually works against you.

Because you were claiming the explosions were too small to "bruise and apple"

ok, and how is that refuted by the physical description of an ambulance?

en. Its not like the numbers of victims are still unknown or unaccounted for.

How many are those? Why would there be any unaccounted victims at all?

Not Israel nor the Israeli people will ever know peace as long as Israel exists as an extension of the American Empire.

We’ll know peace because everyone like you, everyone who won’t accept a Jewish state in the Middle East, will fight until you die. And you’ll lose.

Peace comes at the end of war.

The idea that we have to tolerate intolerance is an incorrect resolution of the paradox.

But I’m saying we shouldn't tolerate intolerance. You’re the one saying we have to.

There has been quite a lot of collateral civilian casualties, how many more people must die

None, if Israel’s enemies surrender and end the war. That’s how war works.
