Hm, I notice all your arguments for not killing every single Palestinian man woman and child rely on appeals to emotion. Surely you have a better logical argument than that. :debate-me-debate-me:
I get a kick out of how smart he thinks he is.
Scott Adams is a troll. He’s trying to make people angry so they’ll come up with responses to his tweets. Don’t fall for it.
Can’t fall for a tweeter troll if you got banned months ago :think-about-it:
He’s an odd one. My father had a couple of his books (bought right before Dilbert was hitting it’s stride), and IIRC in the forward and elsewhere he made fun of himself, and was a vegetarian liberal.
Wonder if he’s just always been a contrarian, or if the money got to him
He had this thing about persuasion. He was getting really deep into it during the 2016 election. I’m sure this tweet is one of his psychological experiments, designed to elicit certain responses. Hey, it got reposted, didn’t it? People can’t stop themselves from helping him.
I remember that; I also remember him getting ousted on his own comics forum for masquerading as an anonymous defender of himself (using alt accounts to defend himself, basically).
I’m just wondering what the turning point was for him between the early 90’s and 2016, where he went real mask off
Strategically, finishing off Hamass means administering Gaza themselves, like Israel had before, which is expensive and also pointless, strategically, because–then what? Plus Palestinians now, both in Gaza and the West Bank, consider Hamas to be the only ones willing to defend them–so try administering that., Carrying out a land operation in Gaza would lead to the involvement of Iran and Lebanon in all likelihood, which is also unclear how strategically beneficial that would be for Israel. The truth is that Israel does not have a sane long term strategy, this is a deadlock.
I thought Israel reallllly wanted for the neighbour countries to start a war so they obviously have US support and end up grabbing more land or at least wrecking their cities. Like, those fuckers have nuclear warheads. If I had a nuclear arsenal, thought everyone else subhuman, and really wanted more land and resources, I would absolutely want to go to war.
Yeah but you can’t nuke the land you wanna annex, and there won’t be a direct confrontation with Iran in this scenario, but via Iran’s proxies. Lebanon’s Hezbollah, most importantly, whom Israel are if not afraid of necessarily but they do realize that fighting with Hezbollah, at least the way things are currently is just not worth it.
If you just want them all dead and only care about the resources or the lowly populated land, you would absolutely nuke them. What the rest of the countries gonna do? pout? That’s a big antisemitism right there, you’re gonna face sanctions until the new batch of nuclear warheads is ready.
Israel has tried to occupy Lebanon before. They struggle as the Lebanese just fall back and then fight a guerrilla war that then causes political repercussions in Israel due to the high loss of sons, husbands, daughters, and wives. And the Israeli people aren’t that interested
