17. A few things...

Wed Oct 2, 2024, 01:20 PM

Oct 2

1). You're not a believer in cause-and effect. Unless of course it's Oct 7th.

2). I have noticed the criticism. Pleasantly surprised.
Oct 7th does not justify the barbaric response by Israel. Just as nothing that came before justified the barbarity of Oct 7th.
So why would I bring in Oct 7th when pointing to the cause-and effect of Gaza and Hezbollah?

3). That's why you don't seem to understand proportionality. Or perhaps not care.

Would love to know your solution for Lebanon to get Hezbollah out.

Only Israel can ever cry victim apparently. Actually given it's history, that's highly delusional.
