Israel will push on with its offensive against Hamas, including into the southern Gaza city of Rafah, despite growing international pressure to stop, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday.

Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Hamas after its fighters attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and abducting 253, according to Israeli tallies. More than 30,000 people have been killed in Gaza during Israel’s subsequent offensive, Palestinian health authorities estimate, prompting worldwide criticism and condemnation.

“There is international pressure and it’s growing, but particularly when the international pressure rises, we must close ranks, we need to stand together against the attempts to stop the war,” he said.

    This is some “I’m 14 and this is deep” shit.

    You can’t “paradox of intolerance” this one as an argument to justify genocide you lunatic. Just because you heard something trendy in the Internet doesn’t mean it applies in all situations. It’s not a one-size-fits-all wrench to winning an argument - it just means you’re lazy and refuse to do any sort of critical thinking. By your logic, you can justify the murder of your neighbor because you feel that they are “intolerant” and you don’t agree with their political viewpoints.

        Let’s see if I got this right

        We’re violent and genocidal, so it’s ok to eliminate people who are bad, unlike us, the violent genociders. It’s also ok to eliminate the weak if you’re strong, and you’re fine with that because you’re weak so you can’t do anything about it.

        Have you considered therapy?
