@souljagoyteller I don't contend that you have any obligation to anyone, but when proscribing to Israelis what they should do (as you are), remember you have no skin in the game.
You can moralize or empathize, but you will go on with your daily life unscathed, not so Israelis and Palestinians.
@mluggy מבחינת תוחלת אתה בטוח צודק, אבל...
כשהייתי צעיר נמנעתי מביטוח כדי לחסוך כסף. היום אני תמיד רוכש כיסוי מלא, אבל *רק* בחברת ההשכרה כי ככה אני יודע שאין להם תמריץ לחפש נזקים. משלם יותר בשביל השקט הנפשי.
@souljagoyteller What a vacuous argument. Is the measure of a genocide how many people were killed? Were the Vietnam or Iraq war genocides? The war in Ukraine?
Also "let me take this speculative number not confirmed by anyone including Hamas itself as a benchmark"
You can do better than that.
@arash_tehran@AdHaque110@AbbyChavaStein I am not a right-winger, nor a supremacist. I am a person who wakes up in the morning fearing for the future of his children.
External coercion may force a change, but it is just as likely to push moderates out and move Israel even further to the right.
@arash_tehran@AdHaque110@AbbyChavaStein Let me clarify.
I support an eventual 2ss solution. I wish for Palestinians all the rights and privileges enjoyed by Israelis.
But mainstream opinion is that Palestine's first priority will be to murder Israelis and eradicate Israel, and there is evidence for this thesis.
@arash_tehran@AdHaque110@AbbyChavaStein Come on Arash you know full well that 2ss is a political poison pill in Israeli politics.
It's not because Israelis are all Greater Israel supremacists (though some undoubtedly are).
It's because it is considered suicidally naive.
@VerminusM Radical Orthodox Zionists draws far more parallels. Operate independent militias in the West Bank. Only respect the law insofar as it serves their agenda. Oppose Israel's institutions while being part of the government. And, one of them assasinated a Prime Minister.
@shai_maymon כל השיח הזה של איחוי, פיוס, אחדות הוא ספין שהקואליציה משתמשת בו מדי פעם ואז משליכה אותו תוך כשהוא מפסיק לשרת אותה.
אין לי שום עניין באיחוי, פיוס או אחדות עם מי שרוצים לדרוס אותנו.
מה דעתך על הסכמה זמנית שהמפלגות החרדיות פוגעות בכולנו ואז נחזור להילחם אחד בשני פוליטית?
