But thank god for good people like you doing their best to de-escalate things

At this point a good solution for de-escalation would be the voluntary relocation of Israeli citizens, as has been proposed by the Israeli government for citizens of other nations.

Given that Israelis are by far the least liked group in the region, why shouldn't they be the ones relocating? Instead of say, the Palestinians?

Are you currently in Israel or Iran ? Something tells me you're not in any immediate danger from this.

He might be a member of the US military?

I find it quite unlikely in the midst of what the U.S military needs to do now a soldier would take the time to vent on HN. But sure, if that is the case I guess he earned the right to vent; still slim (borderline zero) chances of him dying even if he is U.S military.

OK, I"m down. Please write your congress member about this, there's around 10 millions of us so it's gonna be quite an operation.

People who were actively told that they wouldn't be deployed ended up being deployed in very recent history, they could be sitting at home reasonably worried about that.

Perhaps they're a national guardsman, for example?

You're literally trying to excuse genocide. ‘Every last man, woman and child’. Keep the mask off

Excuse it? No, I'll excuse people wishing it. Certainly any attack on Israeli civilians is despicable and generally counterproductive.

Ah, yes, the old totally relatable universal human emotion of genocidal bloodlust.

Right. You've exposed yourself as a horrible human.

Pretty sure Trump would be more than glad to deliver you to the promised land of Florida, or something. It's probably enough to just write the US embassy and ask them to arrange Aliyah to Palm Beach.

If you ask people in Palestine living under brutal Israeli aggression for decades, you will find that most of them share that emotion of genocidal bloodlust.

If you ask people in Israel about Palestinians, you'll find that a huge chunk of them share that emotion of genocidal bloodlust.

It's an extremely human reaction. Something hurts you, doesn't really matter what it is. You'll want to get rid of it.
