    You appear to have me mistaken for somebody who gives a **** about either side in this conflict.

    What does favoring Palestine look like?


    The neo-liberal consensus is "hey Isreal you are better than this" not "hey Isreal you are a parish state".

    That granular detail is missing from you. Nancy Pelosi is the embodiment of milquetoast liberal sentiments.

    You think of baseline criticism of Israel is being on the side of Palestinians.

    i am not on any side, i want peace. serious question though, how many times more dead innocent palestinans than israelis will be enough to call a cease fire? i don't think bibi wants one.

    Leftists support murderous Islamist terrorists.

    Conservatives and people with common sense and decency stand with Israel.

    You asked why behavior X was happening, I gave my best guesses as to why behavior X was happening.

    I made no value judgment on those behaviors as to their rightness or wrongness.

    Embarrassing that I have to explain this distinction to an adult.

    The framing of the reasons you gave implies there is a good faith reason for the IDF barring journalists which is an implicit defense of the IDF.

    Sometimes I wonder if right wingers support ethnic cleaning of Palestinians simply because "it triggers the libs"

    That's the thing. It doesn't make sense. It implies a good faith reason to bar journalists from reporting a conflict.

    The IDF is a moral army. They aren't evil scum inbred terrorists like Hamas.

    I find it stupid that pro israel folks trying to paint killing innocent people Indiscriminately the right moral side.

    Bombed humanitarian workers, bombed hospitals, destroyed the lives of many but yea they the "good guys". I think folks will b more tolerant if Israel just comes out and wipe out palestine in the name of war instead of pretending to b the good guy as they commit genocide/war crimes

    Blame it on Hamas. They are the ones taking human shields.

    Id say any entity that does an ethnic cleansing believes they are in the moral right. They always have justifications. Usually the justification is something along the lines of "they are savages"

    No one sees themselves as the villains.

    So much excuses for israel commiting war crimes. Like I said in war one side will wipe the other, we don't need the progranda painting israel the good guys when they clearly aren't.

    Blood of the innocent on their hands while masquerading as the good guys, disgusting.

    This is where I've landed after so many years.

    If this is war, then do a war and be done with it.
