If a murderer lives in your house for decades and you knew they were a murderer and were plotting more murders but you did nothing to root them out yourself, maybe you’re an accessory. It probably doesn’t justify the death penalty, but it also doesn’t help.

I would note that no one in Palestine has chosen for Hamas to be there. They are more like a criminal organization with populist propaganda, with a focus on smuggling and sanctions evasion as a business model. Even the election they “won,” they really didn’t in the conventional sense, and there hasn’t been another in 10 years. I’m not taking sides, as someone raised Quaker and a later life Buddhist, I know everyone k…

Thank you for the color and the insight. It’s really helpful to remind myself how lucky we are to live in western democracies, a relatively new invention, and how 99% of humans who have ever lived have had no agency in the rules of the world they inhabit.

I am curious what you think should be done in this israel conflict. What are the paths forward?

It is not the words of one "priest", but of all the Catholics in the compound. And I love how you appended "Palestinian" to try to discredit him, as if a Palestinian's word is not worth much, but the word of the IDF, who have been caught lying through their teeth about almost everything that has happened on and since 7/10 is. And you are wrong. The compound hosts more than just Palestinian Christians. Catholics from…

It depends on the context. I very much agree, that I cannot take anyone seriously talking about human right abuse and not ever condemning Hamas. But I don't think that one has to say it everytime, when critizing deaths of children. And we don't know the concrete examples in question.

At the beginning of the conflict I noticed my feed was fully leaning towards supporting Israel, even if it was only the posts of 3 people. Somehow the 30+ people demanding the stop to the bombing of civilians didn't really start appearing until late November. They were posting the entire time, but Meta's algorithm decided not to show it to me.

No, actually it is not. Stop with this dehumanization of Palestinians. They are human beings. They are not worth less than you just because they are on the other side of the fence.

Well yes, but what if they support the initial terror attacks?

Massacring dance festival attendants and people in their homes is not self defence, it is terrorism.

I am against one sided propaganda. The same I don't ask you to believe everything or even anything IDF says.

How do you know that? I know that many people fall into this pattern, but like I said, we lack the concrete examples in this case.

> one has to say it everytime, when critizing deaths of children.

One should propose plan to solve problem without those deaths, or his words just become propaganda.
