Redditors?

About diplomacy 101 My country has diplomatic relations with russia for example. We do however not cooperate in most aspects. In fact we are on the list of their enemies.

My country also has diplomatic ties with israel. And we do cooperate. Mostly in education. My country is also a NATO member without a single US soldier or base present. Also opposed to current Gaza events.

Vermin psycho state is a bit too much for me. I'd just stop the discussion here.

Well if you count decades old recognition of a state as a support of what is going currently in Gaza, i will not spend time to find any examples because on that premise you would be factually correct, but your premise is wrong. Past recognition of a state does not automatically mean support for its actions, which you seem to imply.

Coopertation on anything else with NATO not really adressing the point, as we are discussing the situation in Gaza specifically, not Israels ties with NATO in general.

Yes, but individual countries supporting Israel by eiter finance, ammo or just providing Air defense doesn't make this a NATO operation just because they are in NATO.

  1. it is not true that every single county does that
  2. the ones that do, do it as individual states. Same as backing Ukraine is the decision of every individual state rather than a NATO project
  3. NATO is not a Tennis Organization. :-)

USA citizens make up a lot of the olim, but it is nowhere close to a half. Most of them are from eastern Europe, former Soviet Union.

I got no argument against this formulation. Unless of course someone would threaten to kill my family unless i press a button and then random people die and my family gets to live. Not self defense, not combatants. I'd press the shit out of it anyway.

That is very USA centric, so I dont know the background enough there. The argument i am trying to make is against the "there is no justification" part of your statement. A similar statement would be there is no justification to kill anybody ever. Sounds all good and valid, until shit hits the fan properly. If you read my question as "killing civillians is fine" then that is an incorrect interpretation.

Civil war. When one group of civilians is going against another group of civilians.
