No, killing in the name of peace is like fucking in the name of virginity. If you're so brainwashed you cannot see that basic fact -- if you're so brainwashed that the only thing you can think of is "kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit" -- then that's your business. Don't think you'll get a free pass to spew propaganda without challenge.
Me, I think there's got to be a way to resolve it without killing millions, or engaging in carpet-bombing. Do I know what it is yet? No. But I do know that if I refuse to consider any other possibility (as you are doing here) then that leaves killing as the only option. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results."
That's your preference. Live with the criticism.

Clearly you have substandard reading skills, given your inability to distinguish between "cultural" and "ethnic" matters, and I don't doubt for a moment you're projecting your own internal hatred of Palestinians, whom you'd like to kill by the millions, upon someone else in the hopes of distracting readers from your obvious ethnic hatred.

Quite the stretch you have going on here.
No one said we were at a million deaths. However, Little Monkey here said he'd be fine with killing one million Palestinians in the name of an Israeli victory. That is the target of my critique, and the reason why that figure is being discussed.
This is all made clear in the thread. I know it's a lot of pages, but if you're going to discuss the views espoused, becoming familiar with them seems to be a good place to start.
Quote:I'm glad you feel that way. Israel agrees with you. That's why they're bombing Hamas targets, to prevent as many Israeli deaths as possible.
And I get that. A government is charged with defending its citizens. The question is, is there another, better way forward? I don't know if there is or isn't, but I'm pretty damned sure that sowing the seeds of resentment and hatred in the next generation of Israelis or Palestinians will almost certainly exact no change at all.

Kept in the dark and fed bullshit.
Is that the best you can do?
How about putting out your views so that everyone can examine them?
Or are you just a fucking coward?
Considering that you'd have trouble reading the side of a box of Cheerios, much less a single complex thought, I'd say his reticence is probably wise ... pearls, swine, etc etc.
