We are mostly saying the same thing. There is a reason why what happened happened and as far as I am concerned both sides are terrorists. Is raping women any worse than imposing a blocade that literally equals people fucking starving to death? Yes, it's shocking. Genocide is genocide no mater how you slice it.
I cannot imagine success as killing someone. Also, you are speculating on what might happen with people's lives.
IMHO civilians dying in any circumstances is dumb af. This includes them directly dying as a result of war and indirectly dying as a result of economic and political maneuvers, blocades, shitty things.
Bro, i don't know what you're smoking but I want some.
So, everyone has to have judeo-christian ethics? Are you fucking kidding me? You do understand that most religions are basically a rehash of the same shit? You also understand that it's hard to be ethical when you are subject to genocide?
They would come for us? JFC, you're either ignorant or just brainwashed. Those people are just like you and me. They want to live a normal life, have kids, enjoy life. Just because they have a different religion does not make them subhuman.
Without getting super philosophical, what do you believe the goal of life is?
It's very easy to look at people that are allegedly achieving more than us and believe that there is something wrong with us or that we can do more, etc. This type of comparisons invite introspection and can be helpful sometimes to motivate oneself, but most of the times they are a road to depression.
Here is how I look at it: if I died tomorrow would I be okay with who I am? Of course I want to do more, grow, make an impact, etc, but ultimately IMHO life is about whatever you want it to be. There is no ultimate goal, there is no recipe, we ultimately all die.
Enjoy life right now. Don't worry too much about what other people are doing and create your own meaning.
Cutting off is different from providing.
Also, let's call what Israel is doing in Gaza what it is: genocide.
