Incredible to me that someone can live through the last 20 years and still think that indiscriminately bombing a population is a plausible way to defeat terrorism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yes, thank you. "Israel has the right to defend itself" well ok right now it is radicalizing thousands a day against it, jeopardizing its long term stability.

Not bombing but trying to make peace - as 🇮🇱 tried during the last months with its neighbor nations - at least was proven to be insufficient to defeat terrorism by the horror of October 7th - done by a terrorist organization that was freely elected in 2006 by the 🇵🇸 people as their representatives 💔

I’m just a layperson but it seems like it could make more terrorists.

The shocking thing to me (maybe it shouldn't be) is those who want to do this again — the indiscriminate bombing; a big regional war — are the same people who lived through it and hated it. We had an election about this in '08. Kids only know it from books and YouTube videos and they're a hard no.

Well Ben Dreyfuss did recently tell us how we all should be grateful how the War on Terrorism was a bipartisan victory for all.

It's worked every other time 🤷🏼‍♀️

The same “we need to fund ever larger police forces to protect us from ever rising crime” logic

A major reason hamas was able to carry out that attack is because the Netanyahu government ignored intelligence warnings (or, at least, didn't connect the dots) since they were too distracted with dismantling the judiciary to protect his corrupt ass.

That’s because they’re not trying to fight terrorism, they’re trying to commit genocide.

But I don’t think they do want to defeat terrorism. Isn’t that just the pretext for their murderous politics? (As evidenced by Netanyahu’s financial support for Hamas, among other things.)
