Reply #55: I notice you didn't bother answering my question... [View All]

So, will you be needing the links to posts of mine that disprove yr claim that I think everything the IDF does is a war crime?

I'm not interested in what I said about a barrage of questions from you in another thread, nor whether you take offense or not at having it pointed out that those questions were stupid....

My disgust with yr 'question' in this thread has zero to do with cultural differences and has everything to do with being disgusted by an attempt to justify a practice that is immoral and illegal by pretending that by doing away with its use the only other option offered is even more immoral and illegal...

Let's talk about black and white thinking, and overly simplifying a complex conflict, shall we? Any time there's a thread about the killing or placing in danger of Palestinian civilians, yr always there to inform everyone that things are so very complex and to try to justify it by saying anyone who's opposed to what's been done is merely thinking in black and white, but when it comes to anything to do with Israeli civilians or Israeli troops, suddenly there's a complete backflip and things are black and white and there are no shades of grey. So, my apologies for thinking that yr question in this thread about what you claim is a very complex thing with all sorts of shades of grey, is not reflecting that complexity when you give two very extreme options in yr question and demand that people answer it even after they've given you an answer you don't like...

If you truly don't advocate the use of human shields, a different approach in this thread might more accurately reflect yr views - like, say, actually coming out and saying that yr opposed to it, instead of trying to argue that it's the lesser of two evils. If anyone were to try to same line of argument when it came to suicide bombings, I'd be just as convinced that they support suicide bombings as I'm convinced you aren't opposed to the use of human shields...

Huh? What dilemna did I skip over?? If yr talking about yr simplistic question, then I'll tell you again that I have answered it...
