Stages of pro-Pal atrocity denialism:
1. “It happened and it’s good”
2. “It didn’t happen”
3. “Actually they did it to themselves”
4. “Actually they did it to us”

Your military force is spent, you used it up achieving goals of questionable strategic value on October 7th. Surrender and negotiation is all that you have left.

Implying animals, plants, etc don’t have to “work” to survive is incredibly stupid. Have you been outside of a city before, ever?

Just because something is common practice doesn’t make it right or legal. Arson is common practice at leftist demonstrations too, doesn’t mean society should or will tolerate it

Ah but you see, I found evidence of a Moorish merchant who spent two years in London in 1350, does this not shake your worldview to the ground?

We can disincentivize crime by jailing violent criminals, instead of incentivizing it by giving them whatever they want

@JoePostingg
So are things like law, morality, family, religion, trust — “social construct” has become shorthand for “I can ignore this” which just isn’t true
@JSMilbank
It’s like when people draw maps upside down or use a projection that makes Europe seem smaller. “Ooh, I’m challenging your preconceptions!! Have I blown your mind yet??”

Yes actually: penguins compete with each other for scarce amounts of food, and roses’ scents serve an important signalling purpose to aid pollination
@Rod_Is_The_God
These are the people who thought “ISIS” was code for “Israeli secret intelligence services” because people doing false flag operations just can’t resist leaving little clues
@AwfullyMolly
This blog post is absolutely nuts, buying luxury goods so you can resell them later is an absolutely *horrific* “insurance policy” against hard times

It's revealing in that these people clearly believe that the primary (or only?) purpose of literature is moral instruction

“Settlers” in Israel, “gentrifiers” in New York, “invaders” in Europe. It’s not enough to rely on the goodwill of others. Strength is a prerequisite for survival.

@DiplomatOfNight
“The international community” is always going to be hostile towards Israel simply because there are many more Muslim nations and people than there are Jewish ones. Israel is right not to care about what e.g. the UN thinks.
@arisroussinos
Yes, very good observation. Similar to the EU-flag-draped FBPE types who see “nationalist” as an insult — they haven’t “risen above” nationalism, they’ve merely exchanged the nationalism of one polity for the nationalism of another.

it's a shame that Israel invests in rocket defense and shelters, while Hamas places military assets behind civilians, using its own people as human shields. But that isn't Israel's fault

It’s that they’re essentially bragging about getting paid to “work” from the pool while their gang of tamed nerds (devs) do the actual hard work

That’s how war works, you use the advantages you have. We’re not settling things by hand to hand combat in open desert just because Palestine has no friends (except Iran)
