You're still biased. You support some of the most violent, hate-filled people on the planet all the while pointing a finger at Israel (again, while trying tell us that you support their right to defend themselves, which again, is contradictory to say the least).
You seemed to be under the impression I support Palestine? News flash for you, and here it is, I'll bold it for you:
I DO NOT SUPPORT EITHER SIDE - NOT PALESTINE, NOT ISRAEL - IN ANY OF THIS.
Until BOTH sides stop all this back and forth terrorism and warfare, NEITHER side has my sympathy or empathy or anything. They have only disgust and condemnation.
I do not want anyone Jewish or Israeli to lay down and die for Palestinians. I do not want any Palestinians to lay down and die for any Israeli. History does not matter in any of this because it doesn't. It's now a "Revenge" thing and that's ALL it is. Neither side has learned at all that Revenge solves nothing.
Yes, Palestine has targeted civilians and they have died (but hey that's a cost of war, as you said, right?). It's wrong and beyond wrong and needs to stop. They need to stop glorifying the deaths of people and using it as an excuse for retaliation against Israel. They need to stop attacking "in the name of____" and realize that it solves nothing, and never will.
But unlike you I can also say that Yes, Israel has targeted military targets and because Hamas are cowards innocent civilians are killed and that's wrong too. And yet it's not just Hamas that's wrong (nae, evil) for what they've done, it's also Israel to step up and retaliate KNOWING that this is going to happen. I mean, how can they not? It's been a wash, rinse, repeat scenario for years now. Instead of finding another way to take out these targets without the deaths and casualties, they attack with tanks and air strikes which take out the target, but also the innocent civilians (unless you believe all Palestinians are guilty in which case this convo is long done).
And the rest of the world can either step up and force the issue, or step back and let them destroy themselves; personally I'd rather see the world step back and say "Have At!"
After all this, I guess I can also admit that yes, you're right. I DON'T want Israel to defend itself, but I also DON'T want Palestine to defend itself either. Things would be much better that way.
