And you can point to decades of Israeli provocations, attacks, and invasions.
The rocket attacks were justified by pointing to the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon in 1978.
If Israel can’t take a few rocket attacks, then they shouldnt have lit the invasion fuse.
But to be clear, I dont believe any of this is a valid justification. The logic of both sides is the logic of terrorist sympathizers justifying their war crimes.
You’re lecturing like it’s a Ted Talk and this is your one chance for glory, but this is a shitposting community. Shitposting means dark-gray-ish humor from and for people who already know the historical context of the memes and cartoons. This is not a freshman survey on the history of the 20th century Middle East, you’re just mentally masturbating.
Yeah I agree I am masturbating here. It’s fun, I’m enjoying myself. Maybe you just dont understand my particular flavor of shitposting.
But I think the big lie here is that shitposting is apolitical. NCD can come off as brutal and callous, but there is an underlying thread of morality. I think this post, and others like it, failed to hold that thread. I also think NCD is the type of community that, if it loses this thread, would devolve into an echo chamber posting nazi memes and loli porn.
When I posted my original “you people disgust me” comment, I was expecting to be heavily downvoted. To my surprise, it is significantly upvoted. What does that tell you about this community and how it is perceivied?
“Let them fight” is a fantasy, as if they are in a UFC ring and the rest of us get to be safe spectators.
Here in the real world, children and innocents do the dying.
One night a few days ago, a doctor was tucking his daughter into bed. Just then, the beeper at his hip exploded, embedding shards of plastic, silicon, and metal into her 10 year old face. Can you imagine her screams as she dies in pain and shock? Can you imagine her little limbs frantically flailing? Can you imagine her parents desperate wailing as their little girl bleeds out in her cute little bed? Can you imagine what her adorable little face looks like after it was disfigured?
I think the 10 year old girl is a sympathetic victim, and I spit on anyone who disagrees.
And on top of all that, as an American I’m cucked. My tax dollars are paying for these Israeli war crimes.
Every terrorist sympathizer tries to use the other side’s crimes in an attempt to justify their own brutal, inhumane actions. You are no exception.
You can just point to their decades of indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israel, bro, you don’t need the generic label they’re slapping around.
Cant take the heat, don’t light a fuse.

Please stop sympathizing for Israeli terror.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
What triggered the six day war, Kronos? Be specific.
The rocket attacks on Israel today are a couple of decades too late to use this justification.
The reason for the Israeli invasion into Lebanon was a series of attacks by organized militants on Israel from Lebanese territory.
So we’re agreed that, as far as reciprocity goes, it sucks to suck and both the state of Israel and Hezbollah aren’t particularly sympathetic victims?
Great! Let them fight.
