Too bad the Palestinian people seem to largely think them "very fine people".
@mcfate I don't really give a fuck. You'd probably like the only people that stand up to the occupation too if you were born there and all you'd ever known is occupation and imprisonment.
Perhaps.
I guess if I did, I'd also have to learn to like being subjected to further punishing attacks on their behalf.
You seem to be telling me they've chose to be human shields.
If some group is "evil as fuck" and you still support them, I guess you take what you get.
@mcfate You can only become a human shield if you're being incessantly bombed.
You get incessantly bombed by CHOOSING to provide aid and comfort to "evil as fuck" terrorists.
"Sure, we support psychopaths, but we have GOOD REASONS!" is not a great stance to be in.
@mcfate So you'd agree that for 1200 killed that 30,000 is a pretty even response?
No, I never said any such thing. It's totally disproportionate.
However, attacking someone and demanding that they only respond proportionately seems ill-advised to me.
If you run up to the biggest, angriest guy in the bar, drinking with a dozen of his big, angry pals, and slap him in the face, you'd be surprised when they all beat you to a pulp?
@mcfate No, but I'd be surprised if they beat the shit out of everyone in the bar because I was in it.
@LowEndMuse
Well, too bad for you that you didn't know the guy was a psychopath before you slapped him, I guess.
