(8,170 posts)Every post you make on this subject exposes you a a witting or unwitting mouthpiece of an outlaw government.
You impose upon Hamas - a very small minority of the population in Gaza - the burden of every death but I ask you who is pulling the trigger? Who authorised this particular invasion?
The excuses you are making are in exactly the same class as those made by George W Bush to justify the invasion of Iraq; the same vapid reasoning that allowed the invasion of Grenada under Reagan. To be honest your argument is that "they brought it on themselves," something I have heard from right wing nut jobs justifying the Shoah or KKK lynchings of innocents or the massacre of the Native American tribes.
Mind you you are in good company; this vile denial of responsibility is exactly the same one attributed to God justifying the Flood, the destruction of the Cities of the Plain, the multiple massacres of the Midianites and all the other atrocities in the Old Testament. Personally I do not support the revenge fantasies sourced from primitive tribal faiths; I do not buy into such nauseating self justifications and will continue trying to expose those who use them as persons for ethics and morality are just a matter of negotiation.
