This is not the issue. Men can stand for the women in their life, no problem. The question is who is standing for them.

It is a bit weird that even when asked directly you "both sides"-ed it, and this is also another deflection. I believe that you think that, but then why not just say it clearly?

You can substitute the UN figures and the issue is the same. I can't find anything up to date, but feel free to share and I'll update!

It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.
If it only required a "basic" understanding why would so many people have been making the same point to you?
If a headline says "x group did a crime" and someone responds "y group are criminals" it is not at all obvious what this person's stance on x group is. If anything this reads like a deflection onto y group, so someone might infer that the responder supports x group or at least is more concerned about y group.
If the person says "yes, x group did do a crime but let's not forget y group are criminals too" then it is super clear what this person means. If you omit a response to the actual topic at hand you have no place getting mad when people assume you don't care about that.

So you do denounce the IDF for using human shields? It's unclear when you seem to only focus on the portion of the blame that lies with Hamas
OccamsTeapot 7d ago • 87%
Absolutely! I just imagine that people want to be morally and intellectually consistent, so I think it's important to point out when they are not.
Of course maybe they think Hamas using "human shields" is fine too? Doubt it but at least that wouldn't be hypocritical

You didn't even say it was bad to use human shields at any point. Now I don't think you should be banned for it but it says a lot about your ethical standards and what it says is not good.

Booby trapping civilian areas* is really bad because it puts innocent civilians at risk. Now, you've already written two comments on this but not one condemning the use of civilians as literal human shields. So you're welcome to do so any time now....
*Tunnels are fair game imo, not intended for civilians, but anyway

You really don't seem to understand how bad this makes you look. Using human shields is fine now apparently? Did you ever have principles or do you find that they get in the way of your blind hatred?

Anyway, super cool and great that Russia gets this easy win because US leaders are too fucking cowardly to stand up to the cunt in the room.

This community will basically downvote basically anything critical of Biden/Harris, regardless of how relevant, informative or whatever. I have even seen poll results downvoted because they were bad news.
Because of course if you pretend something doesn't exist the problem just goes away.

I also particularly enjoy the insinuation that expecting a candidate to oppose or at least not actively support genocide is "living in a fantasy world."
I remember back not that long ago when any democrat would have proudly told you that they would never support genocide under any circumstances. For some of them it turns out there's a clause of "unless our ally is doing it and there's an election coming up"

This is genocide, not just healthcare policy or something
You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you sit back and watch While the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion While the young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatenin my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins
Archive: [http://archive.today/Zm9yl ](http://archive.today/Zm9yl) >One bright day in April 1956, Moshe Dayan, the one-eyed chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), drove south to Nahal Oz, a recently established kibbutz near the border of the Gaza Strip. Dayan came to attend the funeral of 21-year-old Roi Rotberg, who had been murdered the previous morning by Palestinians while he was patrolling the fields on horseback. The killers dragged Rotberg’s body to the other side of the border, where it was found mutilated, its eyes poked out. The result was nationwide shock and agony. >If Dayan had been speaking in modern-day Israel, he would have used his eulogy largely to blast the horrible cruelty of Rotberg’s killers. But as framed in the 1950s, his speech was remarkably sympathetic toward the perpetrators. “Let us not cast blame on the murderers,’’ Dayan said. “For eight years, they have been sitting in the refugee camps in Gaza, and before their eyes we have been transforming the lands and the villages where they and their fathers dwelt into our estate.” Dayan was alluding to the nakba, Arabic for “catastrophe,” when the majority of Palestinian Arabs were driven into exile by Israel’s victory in the 1948 war of independence. Many were forcibly relocated to Gaza, including residents of communities that eventually became Jewish towns and villages along the border. >Dayan was hardly a supporter of the Palestinian cause. In 1950, after the hostilities had ended, he organized the displacement of the remaining Palestinian community in the border town of Al-Majdal, now the Israeli city of Ashkelon. Still, Dayan realized what many Jewish Israelis refuse to accept: Palestinians would never forget the nakba or stop dreaming of returning to their homes. “Let us not be deterred from seeing the loathing that is inflaming and filling the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs living around us,’’ Dayan declared in his eulogy. “This is our life’s choice—to be prepared and armed, strong and determined, lest the sword be stricken from our fist and our lives cut down.’’ >On October 7, 2023, Dayan’s age-old warning materialized in the bloodiest way possible. .... >October 7 was the worst calamity in Israel’s history. It is a national and personal turning point for anyone living in the country or associated with it. Having failed to stop the Hamas attack, the IDF has responded with overwhelming force, killing thousands of Palestinians and razing entire Gazan neighborhoods. But even as pilots drop bombs and commandos flush out Hamas’s tunnels, the Israeli government has not reckoned with the enmity that produced the attack—or what policies might prevent another. Its silence comes at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has refused to lay out a postwar vision or order. Netanyahu has promised to “destroy Hamas,” but beyond military force, he has no strategy for eliminating the group and no clear plan for what would replace it as the de facto government of postwar Gaza. >His failure to strategize is no accident. Nor is it an act of political expediency designed to keep his right-wing coalition together. To live in peace, Israel will have to finally come to terms with the Palestinians, and that is something Netanyahu has opposed throughout his career. He has devoted his tenure as prime minister, the longest in Israeli history, to undermining and sidelining the Palestinian national movement. He has promised his people that they can prosper without peace. He has sold the country on the idea that it can continue to occupy Palestinian lands forever at little domestic or international cost. And even now, in the wake of October 7, he has not changed this message. The only thing Netanyahu has said Israel will do after the war is maintain a “security perimeter” around Gaza—a thinly veiled euphemism for long-term occupation, including a cordon along the border that will eat up a big chunk of scarce Palestinian land. >But Israel can no longer be so blinkered.
