You're misreading what I'm saying. Of course, murder has consequence.
You can equivocate murder and mercy if you want to.

Look, you think if we just pretend that Hamas aren't rapists and terrorists, Israel will back off and everyone will be friends. If that's your solution, I can't even begin to support you on that. My solution isn't much better, but at least it would end the problem for a significant amount of time.
Yeah…the problem is Israel won’t “back off” regardless of what Hamas does or doesn’t do. Hamas hasn’t existed since 1948, and they could disappear tomorrow and it wouldn’t change Israel’s intentions for the Palestinian people in the slightest. If it did, they wouldn’t have helped create Hamas in the first place.

You're extenuating the prepone of one's end of life.
Haven't you also thought about the trauma of living when loved ones have died?
Especially under brutal circumstances.
I'm not sure if you're trying to argue some moral position or appeal to some morality within me. I have clearly stated my belief that the world would be better off with humans being extinct. So, yeah...i've thought about it, but my solution is sudden universal death. That way, no one feels the loss of anyone else.
Nonetheless, while people are alive, I would like to see as little suffering as possible. Some suffering is unavoidable. We will all lose people, and people will lose us. Rape, on the other hand, is something that can be avoided to an extent.

Without that ultimate solution, chipping away at lives only adds to the suffering of those left behind.
It sounds to me like you're more offended by the idea of deprevation of liberty rather than the complete removal of ones life.

Adds to? I'm not sure that's true. If it is, it doesn't add as much as you seem to be arguing. Everyone will lose everyone in their life. That's a given. Murder might hit harder, but that doesn't necessarily mean the total suffering is increased. Maybe it is...maybe it isn't. I can see it going either way.

As you no doubt saw me explain when I first called you out on this, the frequency of suicide attacks by Palestinians has been virtually nonexistent since 2008, and were incredibly infrequent before then.
yah I remember you minimizing and making false claims and deflecting just like now.
‘virtually nonexistent’ yet within easy reach you can find numerous examples.
Serial killers usually are not state sponsored either so your equivalency is hard to validate.

I may have to disagree. Doesn’t fully apply to the pet cat. That’s kept inside. But it does apply to a lot of cats.

Focusing the conversation on Hamas’ purported crime du jour deflects criticism away from Israel.
What are we gonna do? Put Hamas on the terror list a second time? I feel like you’re smart enough to understand this.

You've accepted that Israel isn't going to back down. Certainly you don't think that defending Hamas will make that happen. You know what might? Gaza removing hamas from power. Is that more or less likely when people pretend they aren't evil?

Israel isn’t backing down because the strongest nation on the planet is backing them up.
If we didn’t, they may have to concede some things. Either way, resistance groups exist because of Israel’s occupation. Ending Hamas won’t change that reality anymore than getting rid of Netanyahu (or Biden or Trump) will.

I have the distinct feeling that this will require either the destruction of Israel as a political entity or the genocide of Gaza, considering Israel is very much interested in keeping hamas around.

Support for hamas within Gaza grows as more Palestinians are killed. People aren't deradicalised when their families are blown up, often quite the opposite.
When the effect of bombing is more radicalisation, and the request is to deradicalise, it'd only be plausible for the Palestinians to do it without the explosive rain.
It only exacerbates the problem of radicalisation to have the number and ratio of civilian casualties were seeing.

I reckon the USA is doing that so Israel is prepared for an all-out attack from one of its neighbors.

Ask yourself what can really make people see beyond the closed, iron doors which are created from trauma, shutting oneself off from others, resorting to destruction? What can dissolve that which would lead people to want to destroy each other (in constant, necessitated retaliation that will go on forever until one is destroyed)?

Mushrooms could end all wars. I'm not a fanatic. I'm convinced by evidence.

I hope that wasn't to be considered off topic or a derailment. Contrary to what some people believe, I do care about people everywhere facing terror and or pain. I want the wars to end. I have looked everywhere for something consistent. I have to agree with the shamans. Putin needs ayahuasca. So does Trump. Can you imagine if they did it?
