restraint in what?

"Kill 20% less civilians please’ . What fuckin dumb rhetoric is this. It’s like we live the end of times and words have lost meaning

What kind of restraint can israel have? if hamas was 1% of the population, after all these atrocities it will be 99% of the population. Imagine someone killing your children and then you re supposed to go on living your life because “well shit happened”.

Israel has an incentive to exterminate a very large part of the population, especially the young male population before this is over to weaken the next hamas. If they have another plan for post-war life, it’s not clear how they imagine life with palestinians near or far.

you shouldn’t do that then

Who are they overwhelming? The words must have meaning

This is an 100 year conflict, all the good guys are dead.

Why do people feel this need to be good/bad. Everybody knows by now how complex is the middle east

bingo sir. it wont stop until we hear “death to palestinians”

Housing definitely plays a role. Or to be more precise, the culture of housing in your neighborhood.

If we all moved near the romani shantytowns, our birth rate would skyrocket 10x

held to higher standard? As if , people are justifying the destruction of synagogues in 1948?

What would be the normal standard then? You are saying it’s justified as some kind of retribution? what nonsense is this

Of course not. It’s voluntary tourism and bomb-assisted suicide

It’s as if Israel wants to create a giant new generation of terrorists. So they can test their new weapons on them. Maybe that’s the plan in this festival of cynicism

the legitimacy of western hegemony is seriously tested here

an eye for a large number of eyes, a tooth for a huge number of teeth. isn’t that what God commanded?

It’s not really israeli but US propaganda at this point. On reddit it’s clear what s the editorial line of most moderators

It’s a common justification given, but it’s not true. The same happened in almost every advanced european society in the 80s, when things weren’t unaffordable. Urbanization is probably the largest contributor to this, because children are absolutely optional in city dwellers.

We should stop pretending we can reverse this trend, and the whole doom-saying around it. Instead southern europe needs to plan for the medium-term future, which necessarily include the transformation/abolition of the unsustainable welfare state paradigm built in the 80s.

Interesting that the same record happened in neighbouring greece. Interesting to see if there are regional dynamics in this? Humans are influenced by their physical surrounding

Newsweek doesn’t want celebrities to defend the most basic human right for fear of … losing followers. The horror
