    So you basically have zero realistic answer to how to stop the genocide.

    No, I’m not saying we should kill every Israeli to stop the genocide, I’m not such a monster. I’m saying Israel should be weakened militarly and economically to be forced to real peace. I believe in a one state solution where religious sects and atheists lives together with no violence.

      Why are you expecting me, a random internet user, to have a solution to stopping genocide? And if I had a solution, why would you expect it to be a viable one?

      Do you know my foreign policy bona fides? Do you know how much personal experience I have with genocide? Zero.

      Are you like this when random people are talking about COVID despite not knowing whether or not they have medical degrees? “You have no solution for how to stop COVID.” No shit. They’re not doctors. Much like I don’t work in foreign policy.

      I don’t know everything, nor would I ever pretend to. And I am certainly not going to play armchair expert no matter how much I’ve “done the research.”

        You don’t need to be an expert to look into history and find out that colonized countries has no option but to use armed struggle against their colonizers and also had to rely on other countries to provide them with weapon.

          Iran is not a colonized country.

          Also, radioactive fallout doesn’t care about political borders. Neither do off-course missiles.

          And this idea that millions of Iranians who live in a country that has nothing to do with the Palestinian genocide need to die in order to stop it is, again, extremely ethically fucked-up.
