Familiar karma

I appreciate that bro and I know you're Christian as well. I recognize that beliefs on this vary greatly, but for some, especially in the American Evangelical community, the modern Israeli state is an integral part of their theology. This can lead to a different sets of standards when assessing Israel, Israeli politics or Israeli-American relations. I probably don't need to throw that out as an insult, but I do think it's problematic and I'm frustrated with this weird lack of empathy and nonsensical rationalizations and justifications for what's going on in Gaza by many here.

Cause and effect. Palestinians behaved like animals. You can't keep letting it happen until you are picked off one by one. Hamas thought they were smart and Israels has called their bluff. Move them on entirely and bulldoze their rat holes into the sea.

I can't comprehend anyone supporting Palestine after what they did in those terrorists attacks.

It's akin to supporting Osama Bin Laden after 911. What rational person would support them and not America?

Should the US have sat on their hands and let those pricks keep blowing up buildings in New York and Washington DC?

The Muslims will never learn - they will never stop. Time to crush them.

“Get it in writing”

The Biden administration gave Israel until mid-March to sign a letter, provided by the U.S. on Tuesday, that gives assurances it will abide by international law while using U.S. weapons and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, three U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios.

Even the Neocon Biden admin knows it’s bad.

Biden doesn't even know what day it is.

I find all of the pro Palestine sentiment here on RT funny. Fuck Palestine.

I don't find it funny. I find it disturbing.

I don’t see them as “Palestinians”, I see them as human beings. If the roles were reversed I’d be saying the exact same thing. You and @Thumbpicker should read this:

You’re so caught up in propaganda and identity politics you can’t assess the situation objectively.

All I see is constant Muslim terrorist attacks. List of Islamist terrorist attacks - Wikipedia

I'm sick to death of them. For me this isn't about being pro Israel or nationalistic. This is me being anti Muslim. I hate those violent unhinged dogs.

I still remember them hacking off people's heads with a blunt knife wearing orange jump suits while they televised it.

There's actually no such thing as "Palestinians".

They are a totally made-up, fabricated peoples.

Why is it that Palestine is still a 3rd world country, yet its neighbors are all doing so well?

 

[Thumbpicker]

I know that in Mosques even in Sydney their Imam's (well at least some of them) preach hatred and they are radicalised even in Australia. It's often reported in the media here. Why did we even let them in? Politicians here are traitors to their own people.

We can say that about African nations as well.

Brother it has nothing to do with Bush era neo con-ism. What it has to do with is the nasty habit Muslims have of committing terrorist attacks. And the fact that all the liberals in the world, who have no problem calling out and discriminating against Christians ( of which I am not one) fall all over themselves to defend Muslims. Even the so called “Good” Muslims treat their women like shit and think queers and anyone who don’t believe in Islam or who criticizes Islam should be put to death.

Why are you defending these animals ?

You might do better in the clipz section for example since you're so talented at EVH licks

So, you hate the Van Halen, but you love the "Palestinians" ?

Seriously.. WTF is wrong with you ?

I hate the lame keyboards in Van Halen music. It was symptomic of the decline of guitar music in the 80s as synth music crept in more and more. Highly ironic given Eddie Van Halen was a guitarist.

The song Jump was god awful in particular.

I very much prefer Van Halen over Van Hagar. That said, even the keyboard heavy VH contained magnificent guitar work. Eddie was a fucking monster.

I agree he was good but I can't get past the keyboards. It sterilises their music.

Hamas and synthesisers have a lot in common

Because not all Palestinians and not all Muslims were responsible for the attack. And that doesn't even get into the question of whether the attack itself was legitimate or not. The Geneva convention states that armed resistance is justified in an occupied territory. Furthermore, don't forget that Bin Laden himself advocated the idea that a civilian population that elects an criminal government are themselves justified targets, which is the same thing I've heard you promote.

For me this isn't about being pro Israel or nationalistic. This is me being anti Muslim. I hate those violent unhinged dogs.

That is exactly what Orwell's essay describes.

By ‘nationalism’ I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled ‘good’ or ‘bad’.[1] But secondly – and this is much more important – I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests.

Indifference to Reality. All nationalists have the power of not seeing resemblances between similar sets of facts. A British Tory will defend self-determination in Europe and oppose it in India with no feeling of inconsistency. Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage – torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians – which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by ‘our’ side.
