@teratology@ChasingWaterfalls Hamas kicked off the war, and took hostages, knowing full well Gazan civilians would be at risk. I get it. You’re fine with genocide as long as it’s against the people you don’t like.
It is empire, yes, but useful idiots like you cut off the history where you like.
If only Hitler had only won the war, Palestine would have had a state. If only the British had kept their promises after WWI, Saudi Arabia would rule the entire Mediterranean. If only…
Play that game as long as you want. Useful idiots are useful that way.
Me, I live in the real world, I know how 2 apartheid regimes collapsed, the only ones that ever did, and violence had to be renounced before anyone made a move.
The reason, BTW, the fake hospital matters is that the Palestinians Authority denounced Hamas a day before they started the rumor.
A hospital gets bombed every 3 days in Ukraine, but you get people with a religious fervor and embassies get burned, and Abbas walked back his statement.
The only thing your side will achieve is more death.
@IsraelDelendaEst It is like that. You have defense lawyers arguing bullshit like “parental alienation” because the man has no excuse for molesting his daughter, but he has to have some kind of defense.
There’s no evidence behind it, but hey! Worked for Woody Allen…
DV charges are something men tell themselves don’t matter and the woman is lying.
@IsraelDelendaEst Tell it to the 2 to 3 women who were murdered today by their significant other. The ones who died yesterday, the ones who will die tomorrow.
And you also might want to mention it to the victims of all the mass shootings that there is too much enforcement of DV laws. I’m sure they will be happy to know they died because people think women lie about being beaten or children being raped.
@teratology@ChasingWaterfalls Dude, media is angry about Blinken telling Al Jazeera to tone down the rhetoric, and angry about one of their own losing his family to an Israeli bomb.
They are mostly angry that they got caught with their pants down when the hospital’s casualties were 1/4 of what Hamas said they were and the missile came from the south.
Me, I spent an hour looking at the thread and getting pissed that it was still wrong according to freely available public sources.
@starsstorm@AnungIkwe Yeah, it’s not the draft. It’s registration if the draft is reinitiated, and it has been around for young men for decades. Either for everyone or no one, IMO.
The military doesn’t actually want women, so alternative service categories would be created if women had to register. Rn, they depend on student loan forgiveness to staff public service jobs. I’d rather get rid of student loans.
@AnungIkwe@starsstorm They still don’t want women in the army. That’s why it took so long to allow women to service in combat – manning a drone is a higher pay grade than manning a drone but doing it as an assistant.
Next war we have that’s large enough to overcome the memories of what happened to LBJ and Nixon because of the draft will be very short and leave people eradiated.
Last thing in the world I’m worried about is the draft.
