Nah, I have a problem with both sides.

The most important thing is that you can attack everybody and feel superior to them all.

Why are we fighting over which turd is bigger when we need to clean it all up?

I'm not fighting for either side, I'm just disagreeing with the assertion that the concert goers who were murdered by Hamas were "sacrificed by Israel".

So how do you deal with opponents deliberately putting their military infrastructure next to civilian targets?

[-] xzite@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I feel like you either don't understand what I wrote or deliberately misunderstood it.

Feel free to ask if you need help understanding what I wrote.

Still, i can’t argue that most people consider this kind of revenge to be also a component of self defense.

Why did the bell ring immediately after Hamas started losing? You don't get to perform an offensive, have less success than expected and then simply call off the war.

However, speaking of genocide, Hamas (hell, all of Palestine) is not in a position to seriously threaten the Israeli people as a whole nor the Israeli Jews specifically.

The Arab states have been trying to do this literally since the creation of Israel. The only reason it hasn't occurred yet is because they lost all the wars they started.

Didn’t read further. This is pointless. I’m going to assume you don’t want the US to stop.

I want the US to stop invading other countries just like I want Russia and China to stop invading other countries.

Funny how US imperialism is always bad while Soviet/Chinese imperialism is just "missing context", provoked, justified, or just papered over with lies like "they were really gentle in their occupation".

Can you name even one instance of Soviet or Chinese imperialism that was, in your opinion, as bad as something the US has done? Not forced upon them by history or made bad by propaganda, just straight up them being bad imperialists.

Who said I want an invasion to happen?

OK, you "won't be happy about it" but will "understand why it happened". Do you feel the same way about a US invasion of Cuba, and the assassination attempts on Castro? You just wanted the Soviet Union to fuck off and mind its own business?

[-] xzite@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Which is again much like my understanding of why the US beat its drums when the USSR interfered with Cuba. I don’t condemn the US for drum beating over that event (despite my obvious distaste for the US and support for Cuba), its extremely obvious what caused it and it’s extremely obvious what is causing this.

So obviously a full US invasion of Cuba would not only have been understandable, but also justified? Just like all the assassination attempts on Castro were understandable and justified?

I have no idea what they want, whether that’s true, or whether nationalism is even compatible with their culture.

But you do have an idea what the Taiwanese want, and it isn't a Chinese invasion, so why aren't you condemning China for their hostile actions and threatening behavior?

[-] xzite@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

And China. And North Korea. And Russia. And Syria.

If a referendum happened for this. Independence would absolutely not win.

And since they also don't want "unification" you are absolutely against China attempting to invade Taiwan, and any aggressive actions like shooting missiles into waters near Taiwan, or threatening invasion, right?

Don't underestimate the "stupidity" of authoritarian regimes.

Like we've seen with Russia the information that leaders base their decisions on do not necessarily reflect reality in any way. China could very well start WW3 by invading Taiwain based on the false pretenses that everyone would just capitulate and totally be on their side like Russian leadership thought would happen in Ukraine.
