You're trying to make me make a choice that I don't HAVE to makeyou may not have to make them...but i do...
I'm just showing how hypocritical your stance is:
you claim that you just want everyone to live the lives they want to live
then you claim you dont believe people like hamas and the taliban should live the lives they want to live
thats holding two conflicting beliefs.....i have no idea how one does that
___________________________________
you have the luxury of first having your belief and anything that might cause some disruption in it, you dismiss as (how did u call it?) an illegitmate debating tactic
thats really a cool idea, take the ugly reality of a conflict, analyze each of the existing political/social groups and then instead of working with those very real people within their actual values, you pretend they dont really have any social influence, political, or military power.
.....of course when you ignore reality, one does get surprised, and real people get hurt.
i guess that is why you were shocked to see that hamas actually took over gaza and made the peoples lives even more miserable than it was
i guess that is why you were shocked to learn that the MB has taken over egypt and has been implementing shari law.
guess that is why you were surprised to learn that Libya has now been implementing shari law
guess you were surprised to learn that the jihadniikim attacked Mali after looting kaddafis arsenal
surprised that the "revolutionaries" are now implementing shari law in syria where they control the land....
(on second thought, maybe you believe that the implementation of shari law is good, some people living like they want to (and the others...well, they dont get that right....)
__________________________________________
I could never stand for anything progressive or humane or positive in ANY debate.
thats not really the problem, you can believe anything you want, just dont pretend you can prove thats its true.
that only works with people of the same belief as yours, people who believe in the "Exceptionalism" of their belief..that your belief is better than what the hamas or taliban believe.
__
go on write it out...that you believe your progressive/humane or position is the Exceptional one, better than the other beliefs.... i dare u

Throwing rocks at soldiers is fine, throwing rocks at civilians is unacceptable.

Does the rock-throwing justify keeping Palestinians away from Palestinian-OWNED land?

Perhaps some rock throwing, at some time, justifies any IDF action against Palestinians anytime?

The problem is, you see YOUR belief(that is, defense of the "lesser evil" by any means necessary)

The statement is double talk as the British Palestine mandate included all of the West Bank

I think you're a provocateur, and that you are everything the IDF soldier represents in this video.

It's your nature to be an internet coward, always deflecting. So I don't blame you. n/t

If there is a war going on, and enemy soldiers arrived near my house, armed up.
