Sort your fucking life out, mate

Today, something about how stock prices 'jumped' (by a fraction of a percent) and oil prices 'dropped' following the announcement of the outline of a framework of a concept of another peace deal dropped had a comment basically pointing out how this keeps happening and that they're sick of it. Fair.

This was immediately followed by someone saying basically 'Well if your friends hadn't attacked on October seventh then none of this would have happened!'

Things went downhill very fast.

But standouts for me include such broad arguments as:

Palestine doesn't actually exist, so it's fine.

Israel was actually there first, technically, so it's fine

If Israel really wanted genocide they could just drop bigger bombs - they haven't, ergo, they don't want to do that.

Ethnic cleansing is such a dirty word, how about 'redistribution'?

Hamas and Hezbollah are funded by the UN!

You just hate Israel! Wah!

There are no winners here, but I love how these are the arguments. Anytime I think about people splitting hairs on what constitutes genocide or warbling about "Oh, they voted for terrorists" I just remember those pictures of how Gaza is now basically flat, and how many bodies are under that rubble.

Yeah! Take that! That'll show you! We're the most careful and considerate military in the world! Our soldiers are putting their lives at risk!
