Rather than demand an immediate ceasefire, the Biden administration is actively working to further provide cover for Israeli atrocities in Gaza

    Yeah except after they sock you, you then go to their house and execute their entire family while they beg you to stop before you ultimately torture and kill them too. That’s what is happening here. Collective punishment is the height of human evil, and fuck you for attempting to justify that with your low brow analogy.

      You’ve made the analogy pointless now.

      You forgot to mention the initial attack also killed your family and the person attacking you likes to shoot rockets from their own schools and hospitals.

      What happens to schools and hospitals when enemy combatants attack you from them? They become valid targets.

      There’s this one simple trick to avoid that. Don’t use your own citizens as meat shields.

      I wish I could snap my fingers and keep all non combatants safe but it’s not possible. Hamas could help by not doing the shit they do though.

        This is an old conflict. There is no analogy of who threw the first punch anymore, and there is no wrong time for peace talks, if they can be had in good faith.

        But, they can’t.
