Sheeran posted this on IG:
But when a side has a 1000:1 kill rate and it's actively trying to remove/cleanse/genocide the other side from its foundation...
Hamas exists because Israel
I cannot imagine someone “both sidesing” a brutal fucking genocide. But here we are.
Ed Sheeran is a murder-supporting piece of nazi trash, and he is doing it for money.
Yeah, sounds quite similar.
Don't forget Bennie Netanyahu's literal suitcases of money he gave them secretly because he needed an excuse to continue the war mobilization
Yes, Jewish people suffered greatly in the last century. Yes, there people in certain countries/religions who actively want to kill Jews or at least Israelis. Yes, Israel is a majority Jewish state.
But.
No, a past genocide does not give a free pass to execute a new one. No, murdering thousands in collateral to catch the ones who might be dangerous is not acceptable (not to mention the executions etc of obvious non-combatants). No Israel does not speak for all Jewish people nor have justification to excuse their behaviour/crimes as such. Also, yes the Israeli government/leadership is corrupt as fuck, uses war to dodge accountability, and is involved in a lot more terrible acts than "just" the ones in Palestine.
Honestly, when Mossad was blowing up pages and mobiles I thought that was great. It was strategic, effective, and we'll targeted at the actual terrorist leaders/allies rather than causing mass casualties.. they obviously have the capability to be much more surgical in their responses, so mass-bombings etc seem that much more like war/hate crimes. Doing this just creates more hatred, which leads to more terrorists and a continual cycle.
I mean why is Hama's a terrorist organization? Sure they killed people but their people have been kicked out of homes and killed and nobody cared. Of course they are eventually going to fight back.I mean is what they did eight? No but is what Israel was doing to them even before this right? No but nobody cared till they leveled the place this time.
I was with you right up to the point you seem to approve of terrorism. Bizarre stance for sure.
Where do I approve of terrorism? My point is that the current actions are more likely to drive people towards terrorism, whereas intelligent strikes against the terrorist leadership actually reduce the threat
"Honestly, when Mossad was blowing up pages and mobiles I thought that was great."
This was an act of terrorism regardless of your opinion about it being morally correct. Let's suppose Hezbollah sent packages to Israeli military families and they blew up when they opened them wounding them and their family members. Would you also applaud this?
It was a disgusting attack that maimed and even killed children.
80 years of making the wrong political decision at every fork in the road.
Always on the wrong side of things.
Eventually that catches up with you. No matter who you are.
That is what we are seeing unfold in Gaza in our present times.
Walking out on the U.N. partition plan negotiations back in 1948 was a tragic mistake, and it's only become more disastrous with the passage of the years and decades since then.
No musician or singer poncing about on stage like an uninformed idiot before a crowd of even less informed idiots can change anything about those facts.
Your comment breaks no community/site-wide rule. That doesn't make it blatantly horrible.
What you're saying is "collective punishment is the way we should handle this".
Take your down-votes, and read the room next time.
No, I merely observe that it appears the Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing collective punishment at the hands of the Israelis at the moment, and that sometimes in the course of human affairs collective punishment has been known to happen- especially in war & in "special military operations"
That first line which is a quote of your own words.. which is you saying what you think I am saying, which is in the end, you saying something- not me. .
Here is a simple take on this. I'm living here near a little town on my little half acre of land. Then some people move in beside me on their little half acre of land and they have support of the nearby town and several counties giving them the land and the house. It's not the best land in the area but they get it for free. Now I'm sitting here on my little half acre minding my own business and the nearby town and counties decide that hey we're going to give the people that just moved in beside you a quarter of your land and I go no you're not so I put up a fence they come in and tear it down and take it anyway. Now my neighbors on the other side of me they want to back me but they're afraid because my new neighbors have the backing of the local police and sheriff. So they just stick to their own business. Well I'm not very powerful but I'll go out there and I step on my old stolen piece of land and I put up a fence again. This time The neighbor comes out with guns and start shooting my cats tears down the fence and says well we're going to take a little more and so they take a little more. So we kind of settle into an uneasy fuck you across the fence for a while. Eventually my neighbor sees that hey my land is growing corn and stuff and it's nice and flat so they decide that that's what they want to so they decide one day they take down part of the fence and they move it another 50 ft intake my whole front yard now what do you think I'm going to do? I'm going to fight the whole time cuz I got nowhere to go. Then my neighbors decide they want my fucking house too so they come over start shooting my cats and throwing my shit out in the yard setting it on fire all what the help of the local police and sheriff. Now you tell me who the terrorist is?. That's a rhetorical question.
Wow, no response. Figures.
I'm betting it's the lack of paragraphs.
bloody waste of words..
That was not a lot of words. Maybe you should work on your reading. Or you could just fuck all the way off. Either choice would be a net benefit to the world.
Apparently words are wasted on you. Too dense for them to get through
Whatever you say chubs.
If Palestine agreed to give up the most fertile part of their land, to the government that just invaded and genocided them, do you think Israel would have stopped?
Why do you engage with trash when the block button is RIGHT THERE?
Some people’s ideas don’t fucking matter.
No you have to confront trash at every turn, even if it seems pointless. I dont have the energy to do it most of the time and that's on me, but I certainly won't discourage those who have it
#I'm tired boss and #thats the point. The shit storm they are staring up in every direction is quite literally a tactic in debate. "Gish Gallop" (or bullshit storm) is what it is called. Just being used in physical form by these fuckers on the geopolitical level.
The Trump administration calls it "Flooding the zone". You're right, it's quite deliberate.
You're going to need to be less vague with what you're saying. Vague, but strongely worded comments are a hallmark of conspiracy nuts
TLDR: all of the kids getting blown up in schools and hospitals really fucked up when they walked out of the 1948 UN partition plan negotiations and had this coming.
