Exactly!


So fucking insane how so many people nowadays don't understand this very simple law of nature.

The Pax Americana has made everyone soft and completely ignorant to the reality of conflict and how to stop it. You stop it through overwhelming force & pacification through occupation and administration. It's so simple yet young people are so dumb and ignorant.

it worked with germany and japan because they were functioning industrial nations.

how did it go in iraq? how did it go in Afghanistan? occupy a swamp all you want, just dont expect it to go well.

germany post ww2 destruction was in a better place than pre-october 7th gaza. cell phones, solar panels, and modern cars dont change that.

It's certainly not true at all.

Did the pacification of Germany & Japan just create more terrorists? How about the pacification of literally every other conquered nation throughout history?

It only breeds terrorists if you appease and continue to allow them to exist


When the US went to Japan, they did not declare Japan as Narnia, and then start taking more and more land from the Japanese. This would probably have resulted in the Japanese creating an armed resistance.
[ i accept some of you disagree with this logic ]. Isreal, as I understand it, was the ancestral holy land, of the Isreali's, and was "recreated"? in 1948 after the horrors of WW2. I guess it was inconvenient that people were already living there.

Its a slippery slope when you start referencing Germany and Isreal, but I will humor this as well - After WW2 Germany was split in two. But again, no Narnia was created and currently Germany is re-unified and run, by Germans, not America. To compare an invading force, taking over land, and over decades taking more land, (read; Israel, Palestine) to the occupation of Japan and Germany (which is now ruled by Japan and Germany respectively, not the occupying force) is misleading noting the occupier eventually left. I dare not even suggest what you have indirectly implied as I know it will drive you demented.

What about Palestinian rights to exist ? Is Israel not continuing to steal lands via these settlements (that the entire world bar Israel and the USA is voting against ?), I mean one can say that one side wants to wipe the other side off the map, but the reality as we look at these images of city blocks being leveled is that Israel is wiping the Palestinians off the map, and we are seeing quotes to dehumanize the Palestinian "animals", which i assume is intended to mean that as they are not human, they dont have human rights?

One side has sticks and stones and the other has nuclear weapons, is it any wonder the guys with sticks and stones (who are dying in their 1000's) would hope for the day that their jailers were gone ?

Lets make it very simple:

Do you think the bombing of civilian cities, namely, Gaza, is a war crime. Yes or No.

to be clear: what Hamas did was a war crime, what Israel is currently doing is also a war crime. if not a war crime, why is it not a war crime? How in the world can Israel hope to get more allies around the world if they are no better then Hamas ? I am not trying to agitate anyone here, obviously Hamas are barbaric in their own "special way", but I mean, look at what we are seeing right now. How is this not also barbaric in its own way? This policy of bombing civilians makes no sense to me whatsoever. You get rid of Hamas today, but in killing all these civilians they are setting up a decades long (or centuries long) problem when all the children that are not dead, grow up with a grudge.

The Israeli settlements are illegal, worsen the problem and must stop. No doubt about that. But make no mistake: this issue did not exist yet in 1948 when the Palestinians and all the Arab neighbors declared war on Israel. And there were also very few settlements yet in 1967 and 1973 when two additional, major wars were fought. So yes, the illegal settlements are a crime and reflect badly on the Israeli side, but no, they are not the root cause of this conflict and even a total stop and reversal of illegal Israeli settlements wouldn't stop, let alone solve, the conflict.

i lived in america during 9-11, so im not shocked. even in middle school you couldnt walk 10 feet down the hallway without hearing the phrases "towel head" or "sand ni**er".

it's part of the reason i discount any ideas on this conflict that include an utter lack of response from Israel (no bombing, no invasion, etc), its just not grounded in reality. real progress cant begin until israel's thirst for blood is quenched, sadly.
