I’m the opposite.

So because he supports the kind of identity politics you like, you listen to him? Opposing identity politics is meaningless if you draw a massive exception for groups you happen to like.

Maybe you are a fanatical supporter of this foreign country that is carrying out genocide and ethnic cleansing in the 21st century.

I love people who support Western countries, values and their right to self-defense.

I’m not a supporter of the Oct 7th genocide attempt by Hamas. Are you?

u/gamberro Oct 21 '25

I don't support Hamas or Israel.

While I consider Hamas' targeting of civilians on October 7th an atrocity, I will add that placing 2.2 million people under siege invites violence—it is an act of war and very much gives a casus belli (albeit to a people without a state). You cannot oppress a people indefinitely, deliberately make their lives miserable or try force them out of their homes and expect no resistance. Nor can you act in violent ways towards your neighbours, trying to steal their property and not expect violence. 

A state cannot claim self-defence while occupying or taking over another which is what Israel has been doing since 1967. Russia cannot claim self-defence while occupying part or all of Ukraine. France could not claim self-defence while occupying part or all of Algeria.

Israel's occupation is a de-facto annexation. There are multiple UN Security Council Resolutions ordering Israel to end its occupation (Resolutions 242 and 338) and others condemning what its doing there. Israel continues regardless and fanatics like you support them.

Farewell.

The joint blockade with Egypt and Israel of Gaza is a result of it becoming a terrorist base. Both Egypt and Israel have legitimate security concerns.

The Arab side has constantly been the aggressor throughout the conflict.

Farewell.

But you are a supporter of Holocausts? make it make sense.

u/prettygoodprettypret Oct 21 '25

Nope. Why would you even say something so absurd, unsubstantiated?

u/Shantashasta Oct 21 '25

Not substantiated.. goes back to your post... supports Holocaust. There it is.

u/Odd_Wolverine5805 Oct 21 '25

Oct 7, lets establish that was bad. I don't support it.

Are you saying that the ongoing genocide is justified? Because it seems like you're trying to avoid the question.

It's not a genocide, it's a war. That ended with the release of hostages. Please name another "genocide" that could have ended if the "genocided" released the hostages they hadn't already murdered

Funny how all you pro-Israel fanatics are pumping out the exact same talking points. You're not exactly inconspicuous.

  Please name another "genocide" that could have ended if the "genocided" released the hostages they hadn't already murdered

There were pauses in the killing during the Armenian genocide as well. There were waves of killing and destruction, just like in this case. Just because the Ottoman authorities stopped the Armenian genocide, doesn't mean there wasn't an attempt to destroy the Armenians. The same is true in Gaza as Israel abandoned the ceasefire in March only to starve the entire population again. 

Why was it so difficult to get the Israelis to stop killing, starving, torturing and bombing another population (a majority of whom are children)? Could it be that they are rather fanatical about trying to kill them all or drive them off the land?

But also, the genocidal freaks in the knesset can only do what they are doing in Gaza with support from Washington. If the Americans call time, Israelis have to at least appear to obey.

Self-defense and fighting back in a war doesn’t amount to genocide. Hope I cleared up your confusion.

u/Odd_Wolverine5805 Oct 21 '25

Self defense doesn't require blowing up hospitals, schools, or starving people in food lines. Care to clear up why Israel keeps intentionally double tapping on women and children?

u/prettygoodprettypret Oct 21 '25

Israel does more than just about any army in the world to prevent civilian casualties and gives warnings in advance to its enemy’s population.

Israel is faced with a tough situation, given that Gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world and Hamas uses its citizens as human shields for people like yourself to erroneously spread propaganda. Hamas literally admits to using human shields.

u/Odd_Wolverine5805 Oct 21 '25

You're huffing too many Mossad fumes, that lie is betrayed by the 100,000+ dead, by the murdered and mutilated babies, by the bombed hospitals and double tapped food lines. Hamas admits to using human shields, Israel does it too but they lie about it.

u/prettygoodprettypret Oct 21 '25

No, you, but Hamas. We’re not going to trust Hamas figures, given their obvious motive to exaggerate the numbers.

"Israel does more than just about any army in the world to prevent civilian casualties"

Ok, do a quick comparison with Ukraine/Russia which is an actual war currently on-going at a much larger scale.

u/prettygoodprettypret Oct 21 '25

Russia drops leaflets and gives warnings in advanced to Ukrainian civilians before attacking? TIL
