You see the difference? You are asking about seeing what terrorist groups are saying, and that link is what the mainstream Israeli media is saying. It's mirroring terrorist rhetoric, is it not? You were the one arguing how moral Israel is, and yet they keep showing their true colors. When their rhetoric mimics that of terrorists, what does that make them? How are you going to move the goalposts on this one?
Yes, I see the difference. On one hand, we're talking about the "media" in Israel. As I'm sure you know, the so-called media TV shows in the US are often nothing more than inflammatory rhetoric, designed to get people all wound up to get the show ratings. Ever watch The 5 on Fox News? Ever watch Rachel Maddow or whatever the ridiculous morning show guy is on MSNBC?
Lol, so people on Israeli media saying they want to get rid of Palestinians is just "inflammatory rhetoric" but when the others say it it's terrorist rhetoric.
Israeli TV personalities shouldn't be saying such things but we also don't have any context for what they said. The clips are highly cropped, which is normally done with dishonest intentions. Either way, while inappropriate, ultimately the opinion of know-nothing talk show hosts doesn't impact actions by IDF.
I haven't either, but I've heard some very ignorant, inflammatory things. Of course, I can't really speak for Israelis. If I lived next door to a homicidal, lunatic neighbor, who was constantly lobbing Molotov cocktails through my windows, year after year, I might say some inflammatory things, too.
I have no issues with Israel saying inflammatory things. And to extend your analogy, I wouldn't even have a problem with Israel sending some explosives back the way it came. Here's what I wouldn't do: burn down the whole subdivision to make sure I killed my neighbors, nor would I try to kill the extended families of anyone associated with the house.
We are back to our previous impasse.*
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
Nor would you impede aid and watch the entire subdivision starve, suffer and die of your inflicted injures, etc, etc,,,,.
Their plan, as I've read it, is to remove Hamas entirely. Presumably to have a non-terrorist group run the government.
There can be no peace plan as long as Hamas, or any Islamist/terrorist group, exists in Gaza.
Funny you say that as Netanyahu admitted yesterday for arming an ISIS-affiliate gang to fight Hamas. Are you cool with that?
The enemy of your enemy is your friend, right?
So you're fine if that group winds up taking over? Do you think it's "moral" to arm an ISIS-affiliate?
No. I'm definitely not ok with another terrorist organization running Gaza. The question was whether or not I'm ok with Netanyahu arming ISIS to fight Hamas. Sure. Why not? I could come back to bite him since I doubt ISIS is a big fan of Israel, but nothing wrong with leveraging a little theological hatred to your advantage.
That's an aspiration, not a plan. Not going to indulge you arguing over the meanings of words. A plan is an identified means to a specified end. That is not a plan.
This is fucking moronic. So you arm a gang, have them fight Hamas, hope they beat Hamas, and then hope that they don't fight you? Or that you can then backstab them and eliminate them?
Kinda like the CIA arming the mujahedeen in Afghanistan and creating the Taliban, no?
When you’ve been at war forever, sometimes human nature wound take over and that would be “just level the place and ask questions later.” I think that’s probably the appetite for Israeli people right now. Make Gaza a parking lot and personally we won’t have to worry about them taking me as a hostage.
The US is arming Ukraine. Before Ukraine was attacked, would the US ever have been in bed with them? Of course not. War makes strange bed fellows.
