No, worst case scenario involves nukes.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

To you. For them they've already lost entire branches of their extended families. A figurative nuke already went off for them.

[-] zerog_bandit@lemmy.world -4 points 6 months ago

Oh dear, have they done anything to stop 20 years of build-up of tunnels and weapons underneath them?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Have you done anything to stop your government from building military bases?

[-] zerog_bandit@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Why would I try to stop something that I fully support? Last time I checked, the US doesn't have a policy of slaughtering civilians.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Lol you should check what we consider to be acceptable "collateral" casualties.

[-] zerog_bandit@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

It's the exact same definition in the Geneva convention: proportional military casualties.

But feel free to simp for dictatorships that literally execute people for thought crime.

I'm not defending any government. I'm drawing a line between you and the Gazans. They couldn't stop Hamas from building a military base anymore than you can stop the US Government from doing so. Putting that burden on their shoulders and the shoulders of their American relatives is insane at the least.

You're right, no one has responsibility for anything. We should do away with all government. It just holds back the anarchy of the masses. Let's get rid of government and shitty things they invent like the Geneva conventions and the UN and NATO. Who needs all that bs. No one should be able to stand up to the mighty HAMAS.

Wow you killed that straw man good.

[-] zerog_bandit@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

Does it ever get tiring defending terrorism?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

I wouldn't know. I'm not the one defending people killing civilians en masse.

[-] zerog_bandit@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

Sure seems like you're defending 10/7 to me

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Sure seems like your defending Ghengis Khan to me.
