They did not go into Gaza for years. If Gaza didn't want IDF going into Gaza I have this brilliant idea: Stop the people shooting rocket artillery into Israel.


For more than a decade, when analysts described the strategy utilized by Israel against Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, they’ve used a metaphor: With their displays of overwhelming military strength, Israeli forces were “mowing the grass.”

The phrase implies the Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip and their supply of crude but effective homemade weapons are like weeds that need to be cut back.
Such tactics have faced significant criticism from international human rights groups, often due to the disproportionate number of deaths caused by Israeli forces, compared to those caused by Palestinian militants during conflict.


As Israel this week launched devastating airstrikes aimed at Gaza militants and massed forces near the enclave’s borders in response to rockets fired from Gaza — citing a familiar mention of new rocket technology, Hamas tunnels and civilian deaths despite warnings — the long-term benefits of the “mow the grass” strategy have come under question.

If tradition was the root value of all objective moral frameworks, yes.
You actually think that liberalism is some objective moral framework? I mean, seriously, this one would even make liberals laugh.
If they laugh at the idea that liberty is an objective value, were they really liberals?


Death before enslavement is my version
Oh great, you even have your own version. What are you? Liberal samurai? 
Sure, whatever floats your boat. "New Hampshire, the state of liberal samurai"

By which they mean airstrikes against rocket artillery launching or assembly sites.

If airstrikes are "going in" then Hamas has "gone into" Israel quite a few times.

I meant IDF soldiers did not go into Gaza for a long period.

I didn't know the 2nd amendment had an international following.


often due to the disproportionate number of deaths caused by Israeli forces, compared to those caused by Palestinian militants during conflict.
and all the people who died on Jan 6 were protestors. No international groups I know have complained about "disproportionate death".

How irrational Israel is, don't they know they need to equalize the kill/death ratio for the insane sensibilities of people who don't have to worry about being murdered by people who hate your guts?


the long-term benefits of the “mow the grass” strategy have come under question.
Sane question: How long are you going to keep doing this before you say "this is ridiculous" and just annex the region and deport all the crazys to countries that actually have something to lose if they bombed Isreal."

Insane question: Why don't you just let them shoot rockets? Isn't it fun to guess where they land? It creates a whole new insurance industry. Also if they occasionally break into your borders with heavy machinery and start raping people and murdering babies what's the big deal?

No, they dream of stoning infidels and homosexuals. If they dreamed of liberty they wouldn't throw stones as Israel which does not tax them. They would form a liberal state as has been offered many times.

I was reading in india times about how people build confidence in their kids and make them smarter, and one of the main ways is to acknowledge and appreciate the accomplishments which their kids make, and encourage them to achieve their own goals. I want to let you know that I appreciate and acknowledge your accomplishments and how you stand up for your liberal values, and not fall like others. So yeah, you are loved and appreciated, and your efforts in achieving your goal of Imperialist liberal Empire are noted.

I have come to the conclusion that they dream of living in a world devoid of Jews and a Jewish homeland— even if it means the destruction of their own earthly lives and the lives of their children, sadly.

It is common in the western world yet misguided for us to project our own liberal, humanistic values onto other, vastly different cultures. A Muslim warrior once boasted, “We value death the way you [westerners] value life.” If one can die a martyr in Islam, their place in paradise is assured.

so, i do really enjoy hearing people explain things from "both sides"

"debunking the myth that israel stole palestine" - ayn rand institute

"why the left hates israel" - ayn rand institute

youtube is trying to convince me that israel is 100% "justified"


here's the short version


palestinians are incompetent corrupt savages funded by commies in russia


and the jews are basically rescuing them from themselves

That's the point. They are. We are not. 2 different cultures. We usually restrict child sacrifice to the unborn. Not the walking around on 2 legs kind.

Youtube is trying to convince me that Israel indiscriminately bombing civilians but that is an extraordinary claim given the context and history and I won't believe it just because clearly delusional people say it.

By clearly delusional I mean the "queers for Palestine" type. They want to kill anyone who for any reason describes themselves as queer. They've been asked and that is what they answer.

The ARI is correct about the big picture. Israel is a child of "western" civilization which means liberal civilization which walks the path laid out by Socrates, Aristotle, etc... etc.. all the way to John Locke and Voltaire.

What people call "palestininans" (but which are in fact reactionary Muslims of the region with no special ethnic or cultural distinction) are dark age theocrats with a nasty streak of cruelty.


That doesn't mean Israel is flawless or there aren't innocent people in Gaza and the west bank, but it does mean that when Israel offers a two state solution and Hamas slaps it down because they want to kill any Jews that look at them funny, I have no conflicted feelings because they are the architects of their own suffering. Gaza chose Hamas like Germany chose Hitler. Politics have consequences and those consequences are not fair to individuals.

I'll believe it when I see it. Too many people willing to lie.

Sounds like a conversation Hamas might have had prior to October 7. Do you believe that was a false flag operation or something?
