    Are you suggesting that when Israel bombs a refugee camp and kills all those innocent people that somehow that is a reasonable response?

      It’s a disproportionate response, and misdirected. But it is definitely a response to something real, which the more rabid anti-Israel types seem to gloss over.

        Israel has a right to defend itself, but they’re bombing refuge camps.

          Yes it’s a humanitarian disaster through and through, and the government response is internationally humiliating for Israel. I felt the same way when the USA started carpet bombing Baghdad after 9/11, although that was far worse and made much less sense.

              I’m not arrogant enough to think I have sufficient knowledge or access to reliable enough information to make that judgement. I can certainly say it’s a humanitarian disaster and tragedy.

      Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

      What did you expect? Do you think that hitting a wasp nest with a rod just once means you’ll only be stung once because you only hit it once? There’s no rule stating that the wasps must respond with equal magnitude. If people are now getting hurt, it’s because someone provoked the wasps. The notion that reactions must be proportionate to the offense is quite naive.

      These fuckers kidnapped US citizens, they deserve 100% of whatever bombs we throw at them until our people are freed.

        Yes, because the US is a shining beacon of morality and peace.
