    If my child was sick and could end up developing several different diseases, where only one just a few were preventable- I wouldn’t just do nothing and let them die because the other diseases couldn’t be cured.

    When someone is sick, you do whatever it takes to reduce the damage. You don’t refuse to act because you’re not getting a prognosis of perfect health.

      Ok, let’s say your kid is about to be murdered.

      Do you choose the murderer who smiles and you and says nice things, or the murderer who is a shitbag?

      No matter what, your kid is getting murdered.

        See… it’s bad comparison arguments like this that you all feed each other that has caused the overwhelming lack of understanding of what is going on to begin with.

        You’ve reduced the entire thing down to only two threats and made them both equal. This is because you only see ONE issue as the source of the problem, whereas- everyone else understands that there is- was in this case…. FAR more at stake than your simplified version of events.

        I gave you a realistic example that illustrated how your choice can reduce the damage and allow them to live to fight another day-

        You gave an unrealistic example that let to the justification of your point. Until you learn to change your perspective and face the ugly truth that perfect is unobtainable, and compromise is a necessary tool in making informed decisions where the lives of others are effected by your decision to either act, or do nothing.

        Because now, a LOT more than just Palestinians are going to be hurt.

          The two threats are equal: genocide will happen, regardless of who got elected.

          Either party could have chosen to stand against genocide, but neither did.

            And so in protest, you threw all women, the LGBTQ+, immigrants, minorities and essentially every constitutional protection we have under the bus because justice wasn’t provided to people in a country you couldn’t have pointed to on a map a year and a half ago.

            Take a bow and be proud of your work.

              Dunno if you noticed, but a lot if that was happening under Biden already…

              Additionally, I know full well where Palestine is… I was in the Middle East for a period, after all. The same period that showed me what happens when we stop caring about genocide.

                    You seem to have a very binary view of the world and seem unable to grasp the concept of “more” or “less”.
