Israeli journalist Amit Segal shared the letter, which said striking facilities used by Hamas was justifiable.

The letter posted on Israeli journalist Amit Segal channel to 184,000 followers says that “the nation of Israel will stand up bravery to strike at its enemies,” according to a translation of the Hebrew. It goes on to justify targeting sites even “when the enemy hides behind a human shield.”

    I don’t care what people believe

    I used to take this stance too, but then I heard Matt Dillahunty say something that really stuck with me (paraphrasing here):

    Beliefs matter because it is the beliefs that inform our actions, and it is our actions that shape the world we all have to live within.

    Once I heard that I decided I was no longer just an atheist, but was profoundly ANTI-theist. There is absolutely no chance that there can be broad adoption of a secular humanist social philosophy as long as there is political control being asserted via religious institutions.

    It will never happen, full stop. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves, and either unintentionally enabling or directly supporting the continued mass delusions of large swaths of the human population. It is imperative that this not be allowed to continue for the survival of our species. It is that fucking serious in my opinion.
