Subject: Question for akira and old timer (and anyone else) |
|

Do you know *for a fact* that there exist *no details, on any level, within circles of global hierarchical power we know nothing of,* that could possibly incline a United States President toward choosing to continue arming a country that commits inhumane atrocities? In the face of exactly how outrageous and unconscionable that is?
Do you?
In other words...if you agree that you know this, for a fact, then you're saying it's literally impossible for there to exist *any reason whatsoever*...including within the vast realm of The Unknown To Us...for the U.S. to continue arming Israel...
So are you claiming this, by this very fair definition?
Knowing how unlikely you are to respond...lol...I'll just go ahead and venture my guess that yes, you'd still say you have grounds to claim such a thing...
...and if so, you're fulla baloney...end of...
I'm not saying there IS *any good reason* for it -- as seen through my own and your ideals -- but as seen from a perspective *that includes all of the Unknowns you categorically refuse to consider*...yes indeed, parameters that could make the U.S.'s choice to continue arming Israel pale in comparison do likely exist...
...and you cannot prove that they don't...

Lots of articles, especially from 2006, showing past and continued support of Hamas by Russia, China & Iran, including recent trips by Hamas to Moscow and Iran.
The fingerprints of Russian propaganda are all over the news about the conflict.
So, I cannot second guess reasons for U.S. support of Israel, anymore than Russia/China/Iran plans for the region.
As to why this war is so poorly managed and goes on... I have no words.

Do you really believe Hamas operates alone? That they visit Moscow and Tehran for the last month and previous eighteen years for the sights?
There are definitely reasons to support Israel. What the policy for a venture that costs such time, money, effort in this way I do not know.
Read the posts. The munitions on order and approved won't be delivered for years.
Why this is happening in this way I do not understand, do not approve and consider the method as much a war crime as killing the buffalo to subjugate the Lakota.
But if you think that it is happening because one person is crazy in charge, that would be like Hitler hating Jews. He didn't do it in isolation, he didn't do it alone, and the land and treasure and life of the people were absorbed by compliant neighbors and corporations.
The difference is Hamas is the agent of forces that want to control Africa and Europe and the Middle East for their purposes, and consider the Palestine people as nothing more than bait for your attention.
Netanyahu may be playing both ends against the middle. It is beyond me why the Palestinians can't be fed watered and housed while the solution is found.
Oh. Right They can't because Hamas is still fighting, bombing, shooting. So Hamas wants:
people to starve; people to be sick; people to die; people for hostages people for Twitter photos.
And you act as if Israel is the only player when Hamas is keeping the Palestinians hostage as any concert going Israelis or visitors.
Hamas is on a suicide mission and they don't care who else dies -- 100,000 civilians is not too many.
Not too many for them, maybe. Clearly not too many for Russia or Iran who are helping to starve 26 million in the Sudan.

and don’t believe bopp’s dishonest shit that these are all future deliveries. a steady stream of weapons has been flowing to israel while they are committing genocide, see the cnn article. the flow could be stopped to convince our ally israel to stop killing women and children

The bombing would stop if Hamas would surrender and stop shooting and bombing. War is not the answer.

“The bombing would stop if Hamas would surrender and stop shooting and bombing. ”
you’ve pushed this idea repeatedly, but that really sounds heartless. do you really believe israel can continue to bomb hospitals, schools, refugee camps and kill women and children, doctors , journalists and aid workers without any responsibility as long as hamas is out there?

Without responsibility?
The World Court wants a conversation about war crimes. Israel is surrounded by governments and millions wanting their heads. The people of Israel itself are against the management of this war. They are facing institutional financial constraints. Hamas keeps shooting and Israel still doesn't have control of Gaza.
That sounds to me as if they are facing responsibility now and in the future.

the problem is the genocide is still happening and it’s time for it to stop. the us should stop sending them weapons and until they stop pressure should be brought to stop the slaughter of civilians that israel is still doing. several in power in israel should face charges for crimes against humanity and israel may find it difficult to get weapons to defend themselves because they have shown that can’t be trusted to use them in accordance with international law. above all it is time to stop the senseless slaughter

Has it occurred to you if Israel were to fall back on their own resources for munitions the nuclear option would appear to them more viable?
Biden/US walks a tightrope over that nuclear option, Egypt, Saudi,Iran, Lebanon and other interests, alliances and conflicts.
All while pushing for peace and staving off world war with strength. It would make my head hurt and I'm not even 78.
Tell Hamas to free their people and let them get food, water, medical and housing free of Hamas. That is the safest way to stop this war, which by the way comes of genocidal intent from both sides, just at the moment one side has more guns.
My objection to your and a few others is that you do not recognize the string that whips your emotions is power held by Hamas, the sound is the screaming in grief and pain of the people from the snapping of that whip.

that is a harsh and heartless thing to say to people speaking up about the mass slaughter of civilians, mostly women and children. the number doctors, journalists and aid workers show that israel is making no effort to protect innocent people in gaza. the madness has to stop, it’s time to cut off their weapons. as far as the nuclear option, well that is a good point and if israel is no more responsible with nuclear than they have been then it may be time to disarm israel and label them a rogue state

That mass slaughter is orchestrated by Hamas.
As to heartless, what of "100,000 not too many" shows heart?
What does telling a starving father of a starving family that if he takes food from anyone other than Hamas he will be killed demonstrates "heart"!?!
What does planting hostages with a doctor's family shows "heart"!?!
Yes. The madness has to stop. So call for all sides to stop at least. Not just Israel. The focus on Israel is just one of the many wrong things of this war.
I don't trust, like or support the way this war is being run, Netanyahu is a horror.
Cut off Israel's weapons and they will be overrun, let Russia and Iran have the ME.
As to disarming a nuclear power, good luck with that. You go first.

“That mass slaughter is orchestrated by Hamas”
that’s blatantly false. hamas orchestrated the oct 7 attacks but the 10 months of slaughtering women and children in gaza has been orchestrated and carried out by israel with horrific results
i do think israel should consider what happens if they get their weapons supply cut off and can they survive. that should be something they consider every time they kill women and children, doctors, journalists and aid workers. the idea we can’t cut off the weapons supply and have to support israel’s genocide because of iran or russia is absurd

"hamas orchestrated the oct 7 attacks"
Right. And their refusal to surrender keeps the horror going. The bodies they step over on the way to Moscow and Tehran are their responsibility.
"we can’t cut off the weapons supply and have to support israel’s genocide because of iran or russia is absurd"
Certainly no more absurd than blaming Israel alone and pretending that a people under attack for 70 years, losing people constantly to terrorist bombings and personal random attacks then forced to war with their neighbors, with the very real threat of genocide and annihilation and missiles from all sides, are capable of just shooting this or that target alone without going crazy. I think they are, as most soldiers in that situation.
Further add to the mix the right wing hawks who may benefit and expect to benefit in the future from shuffling a people around, starving them, shooting journalists, etc., keeping bare necessities from innocents, these are war crimes, and the World Court knows it.
War crimes that would end if Hamas surrendered and the world aid associations were allowed to do their work.
You have an entire population with PTSD and with all that a huge percentage do not support Netanyahu or what he and his buds are doing, so don't tell me it's "Israel" at fault.

“And their refusal to surrender keeps the horror going. The bodies they step over on the way to Moscow and Tehran are their responsibility.”
this is why i keep saying you absolve israel from any blame in the ongoing genocide in gaza. israel doesn’t get a free pass to continue slaughtering innocent civilians until hamas surrenders. that is a war crime and a crime against humanity. israel is doing the killing of all these people and israel is the only one that can stop doing a thing so horrific that is should be obvious to all they are wrong
“Certainly no more absurd than blaming Israel alone”
but israel is the one who is committing genocide and crimes against humanity. blame for this ongoing human tragedy is squarely on them. hamas is to blame for many deaths, hamas committed a cowardly act of terrorism that started this most recent violence but nothing, absolutely nothing justifies israel’s ongoing genocide. 10 months so far israel has been pounding gaza and killing civilians including those 7 wck aid workers who were simply trying to feed the starving people of gaza

Netanyahu doesn't get a free pass. The World Court, people in Israel, the world over will punish Israel for Netanyahu's action.
Israel isn't killing or starving any more than Palestine killed people at a Concert for Peace.
That's why I won't condemn the people of Israel anymore than the people of Palestine. In my mind they have both been and are being played and used.
As to the rest, it has been answered, you choose not to acknowledge what does not fit into a very narrow channel that includes blaming a different set of innocents and I won't do it.
I have known Israelis and Palestinians and know them to be as free of their leaders' decisions as I was when Nixon bombed Cambodia.

no one is trying to condemn the people of israel, but since the government of israel is still slaughtering civilians every day and they should be condemned for this ongoing action. they are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity and yes they will pay for it. they have ensured generations of terrorism against themselves. the world’s view of israel has dropped and they find themselves increasingly isolated
but do you know what israel will do tomorrow? sure you do, they will kill some more civilians, mostly women and children in gaza. same for the day after that and the day after that. personally i don’t see any possible way for israel to come out of this mess and the longer they keep committing crimes against humanity the worse they will end up
the killing needs to stop

rarely read shadow’s posts and this absurd question is why. she is asking if the president of the united states could possibly have a reason to continue sending weapons to israel while they are using us provided weapons to slaughter women and children. that’s why i asked if anyone was really holding out hope of some reason to justify the potus supplying weapons that israel is using to commit genocide.
maybe a better question is what possible reason could there be to justify the potus supplying weapons that israel is using to commit genocide? and i can’t imagine any valid answer which would have to sound holocaust deniers coming up with excuses to justify what the nazis did

i believe that hamas is Palestinian, not an agent of iran. iran is supporting hamas because she is wary of israel. they were both from the same father and the bible is true that they would fight each other. Hezbollah is acting on Palestine because so many of them are Palestinian. the answer will come when the world war is over. probably after my lifetime.

Tangent, but okay...
After the world war I believe, religion will be banned entirely because it has been used as the reason for war. Too dangerous for the new rulers. This war isn't going on because the principals consider each other brothers, but because they both claim the same God gave the land to them exclusively, one before being kicked out 2000 years ago and the other by winning by conquest.
These myths supercede that they are brothers, genetically ( when did Semitic become Jewish? ) that the Palestinian was not in control of that land for hundreds of years, others, most recently Turks were, and Israel hadn't been in control since the Romans dispersed them.
The State of Israel was designed to destroy the Israelis if you look at the map. When they *surprise* won every war against them the myth that God gave the land to Muslims should have been heads up maybe God changed their/his mind and gave it back. Didn't work that way.
From the myths as they are playing out God is a beast that sets his children on each other to watch the show and drink the blood and wallow in the misery. They need another God or a better understanding of who/what God is.
If you want to continue we should do this on another board.
