Israel has not only a moral right but also a moral responsibility to kill every member of Hamas—and to do so with the least possible risk to Israeli citizens, including Israeli soldiers.

Here's an idea,
@paulg
: Rather than restart the war it started, Hamas could unconditionally surrender and release all the hostages. This way no more civilians would be killed by the retaliatory force Hamas necessitated when it killed and raped Israelis and took the hostages. See?
"Any restart of the war will have disastrous consequences for Gaza’s civilians, already suffering an extreme humanitarian crisis. They represent the overwhelming majority of the 13,000 people killed in the seven-week-long war."

Altruism Is the Fuel of Jihad
In “Terrorism, Altruism, and Moral Certainty,” the Afterword to my book Loving Life: The Morality of Self-Interest and the Facts that Support It (published shortly after 9/11), I wrote, “Islamic terrorists are religious altruists: They selflessly

I’m looking forward to discussing morality with Alex O’Connor (
@CosmicSkeptic
) at LevelUp.
Because we’re both atheists, we can set aside evidence-free assertions about “God” and instead focus on whether morality can be derived from observable facts. This is of interest to both
Are human actions right or wrong based on a factual, logically provable standard of moral value? Or are people’s claims about right and wrong just expressions of their emotions or feelings? Join
@CosmicSkeptic
and
@CraigBiddle
at LevelUp 2024 for a discussion of these and related

I’m not sure who first made this point, but it is decisive for any honest person:
If the Arabs put down their weapons there would be no more fighting. If the Israelis put down theirs there would be no more Israel.

Heroic Iranian girls flouting mullahs, sharia, Islam—and, by extension, religion as such.
Bravo, young ladies! Congratulations on your courage. And thank you for your example.
This is how people of reason win a future of freedom and flourishing.
It is not Iranian women who are afraid of mullahs, but it is mullahs who are afraid of Iranian women.
This is a video of two brave girls in Iran walking fearlessly in front of the mullahs. They have deliberately removed their headscarves to show the mullahs who have tried to

Ease up on the AP regarding Gay’s resignation and the use of plagiarism as a weapon. They’re just following official woke guidelines against Western (thus wrong) standards.
Here, from Smithsonian Institution, are the deeper illegitimate standards by reference to which plagiarism

Biden’s provision of $100 million in “humanitarian aid” to Gaza and the West Bank is a clearcut instance of aiding and abetting terrorists (Hamas and Islamic Jihad). This is morally obscene.

The American spirit lives. And it’s all about individualism and respect for human life.
Bravo, good men!

Amit is a hero. (And those "men" are not men.)
Look at this lioness!

We the civilized do care. We stand with you, Israel and Jewish people more broadly. And, together, we will win this war.

Beautifully said.
What Africans need is what all human beings need: freedom from coercion—including, and especially, freedom from economic regulations.

Yes, some Gazans are innocent (certainly the children are), and Waters is hardly a principled thinker. But the deaths of all innocents resulting from Israel’s retaliatory force is 100% the moral responsibility of those who (a) directly initiated force and thus necessitated
I'd like to note again that the theory advanced here - that there's no such thing as an innocent Palestinian, or no difference between Palestinians and Hamas, because they elected Hamas (back in 2007) - was bin Laden's view for why all Americans are legitimate military targets:

Hamas are, by their own choice, sub-human, sub-animal, rightless creatures who deserve far worse than the death they love and seek. But that will do. Immediate would be best.

"She was screaming, 'Stop it—I’m going to die anyway from what you are doing, just kill me!'"
They were laughing. The last one shot her in the head.

Since Jan, Saudi Arabia has beheaded 59 people for "sorcery"—adultery—using drugs—political dissent. Lovely Islam.

Capitalism outlaws coercion: no stealing from Peter to pay Paul—no tying Peter’s hands so he won’t outperform Paul—no forbidding Peter and Paul to engage in consensual adult sex—no forbidding Mary to have an abortion—no sacrificing soldiers to “spread freedom”—etc. Why I love it!
